PRESS RELEASE 8/30/2010
The land of cherries became the land of podiums for one Culvers Racing member. Tyler Gauthier was on the start lists for both the Criterium and Road Race at the Cherry Roubaix this past weekend. The Friday Night Criterium was 30 minutes + 1 lap around the downtown streets of Traverse City. It was a flat course with several 90 degree turns that proved to be very fast. Tyler was able to join a 3 man break away with 4 laps remaining to start the weekend with a 2nd place.
Sunday's road race was at the site of the late 1980's State road racing championships. The route flows through the cherry fields of Leelanau Peninsula. A rolling course with a hill tip finish set up for 4 lap 52 mile race. After 2 laps Tyler established a 6 man breakaway until it was cut down to 4. On the last lap Tyler rode away from his competitors over the hills and stayed away for the victory. His 1st place on Sunday wrapped up a great weekend for Culvers Racing.
