Print The 2011 USA Cycling Masters Track National Championships resumed Friday after rain shortened Thursday’s competition at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center in Breinigsville, Pa. In all, more than 400 of the U.S.’s top track racers from more than 30 states are competing for over 140 national titles over six days, making the event one of the most heavily attended ever in the country. The nation’s fastest 30+ tracksters plied their craft at sprint races and two men’s age groups contested the madison.

Chip Berezny (Coopersburg, PA/Lehigh Wheelmen Association/Bike Line) took top honors in the men's 60-64 category while Ronald Hargrave (Colorado Springs, CO/Hammer Racing Team- TVG LTD.) earned the gold medal for men 65-69. Earl Henry (Pinellas Park, FL/Florida Velo) won the Men's 70-74 sprint, while Thomas O'Rourke (West Bloomfield, MI/Cadieux Bicycle Club) collected another gold medal for the 75+ group.
