Heart House/CADV scores two NJ championships in first season as title sponsor.
Tuesday, 26 August 2008
In its first season as title sponsor of the CC Evesham Elite Cycling Team, Heart House/CADV became a double state champion sponsor in late August. In June the team scored a surprise victory when Ryan Petit was dropped off by Pete Fitzpatrick with 125 meters to the finish line of the NJ State Road Race. Petit easily won the sprint for the victory, even having time to zip up his team jersey.
Petit later returned the favor at the NJ Senior Men's 1/2/3 Criterium Championship dropping off Fitzpatrick with around 100 meters to go. Fitzpatrick used his track racing speed to win his first NJ Senior Men's Title.
This is the first time in several years where one team has won both the road race and criterium titles in the same year.
