torphy1torphy1May/3 - San Luis Rey CA. Road Race. David Santos & Eric Bierman

At the beginning of May, Dave raced the San Luis Rey Cycling Classic road race in Bonsall, CA. After a rider broke away in the last 5 miles, he managed to put over 300’s yards on the rest of the field. With time running out, Dave took action and began to chase. He was able to finally bridge the gap on the final climb, catching the leader within the last 50 yards. 2 other riders followed and tried for the sprint, but Dave had enough left to hold them off for another win.
