Swashbuckling 2014 Season

Can I use the excuse I got buried under snow this year?  Even though we all had lots of snow to deal with this winter, we adapted and trained in whatever fashion we could.  Thank goodness I don't race anymore as I hated the trainer.  Kudos to those disciplined and committed to working out on the trainer.  Your training has paid off. 

The Swashbucklers started the 2014 racing season in March with the Salisbury Road Race in Amish country, PA.  Jason Lindemuth and Mike Montgomery fared well in the 4/5 race and Aaron Barr unfortunately did not in his race.  Coming into the start/finish, he plowed into one of the barriers and sliced or gashed open his shin pretty deep and crashed hard as a rider did not YELL - "barrier!" or something.  So Aaron had nowhere to go but head on into it.  He has healed up fine since March.  Other races this season included:

Daniel Harwi Memorial 27th Annual Lower Providence (Apr 13 2014)
2014 Philadelphia Naval Yard Criterium (Apr 19 2014)
Farmersville Road Race (TM) (Apr 19 2014)
Nittany Cycling Classic (Apr 19 2014)
Poorhouse Road Race (PCA BAR) (May 3 2014)
Turkey Hill Country Classic (May 3 2014)
Piscitello Law Great Valley Criterium (May 4 2014)
