Slipstream/Chipotle H3O is on a week-long tour of the east coast that kicks off Sunday, June 1 with the CSC Invitational in Arlington, VA and wraps up June 8 with the Philadelphia International Championship in Philadelphia, PA. The squad of one-day masters - Maggy, Martijn, Meatball, Frischkorn, Farrar, Donald, Caldwell and Cozza - is looking forward to putting some of their hard-earned spring classics experience to the test for the home town crowds.
The fun kicks off the CSC Invitational, a 100 km race that takes place on a 1 km circuit. Then the Argyle Armada sets sail for Philadelphia for the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling. The first of the three Philly races, the Lehigh Valley Classic, is on Tuesday, June 3. This 136 km race takes place over 12 laps through Allentown and Salisbury townships. On Thursday, June 5, the second day of the Commerce Bank Triple Crown takes place in Reading, PA. This 120.7 km circuit includes 11 challenging laps and Mt. Penn at 215 meters.
The final event is the Philadelphia International Championship on Sunday, June 8. In its 24th year, the “Philly Race” is the longest running single-day road race in the US. The 250 km course climbs the legendary Manayunk Wall ten times before the three finishing laps and the finish on Benjamin Franklin Parkway. In his American debut, young Martijn Maaskant hopes to add this race to his palmares.
