The Pointless Poggio turned out to be more exciting than the real Milan San Remo. We had 24 unique riders on the segment, with more than half doing it more than once. Ultimately, It came down to Ken B, Frank V (me), and Sam F in the individual competition. Ken and myself were driving the results in the team competition for RestonRolls and IceRoad Truckers, respectively. Ken (and his team by association) was quick to rack up many repeats and was leading both of the competitions for the majority of the time. It took a lot of effort on my part to catch back up and then get my team on top in the team competition (I’m ineligible for the individual as it’s my competition).
On the final day, with a great showing of support several IceRoad Truckers came out to ride the Poggio to clench the team competition. Ken remained on top in the individual with a great margin over second place Sam F.
For his efforts Ken wins a six-pack of Peroni or his favorite Italian soda/seltzers. I’ll reach out to him directly. Maybe I can get it to him before the FS HH.Team IceRoad Truckers wins a large pizza from the Italian store. This prize will be a little harder to award, and I’ll have to take a rain check to when team can get together.
