Giro del Cielo

It was a great weekend of racing in New Jersey for To Be Determined at Skylands Cycling's Giro del Cielo 2012. The squad had four riders attendance and after some heated racing during the crit Matthew Vandivort took 2nd and Daniel Cleiman scored a top ten result.

On Sunday the team raced hard during the 50 mile road race but got bunched in during the finale, still managing a seventh place finish.

Pictures from all of the action are posted on our Facebook page

It was a harrowing finish for the team in the 2012 Giro del Cielo Cat 3 Criterium – after being swamped before the final corner the team still managed to pull out a second place finish by making up lots of ground during the finishing stretch.

With brilliant weather all weekend the 2012 race was the perfect opportunity to shoot racers competing in a wide variety of fields. Team Sixcycle-RK&O posted several hundred pictures from the race on Facebook - see the link above. Some of our favorite pictures are included below.
