Road Race
Team MACK’s Luke Schneider made a bold move on lap 2 of the 5-lap race launching an aggressive over-the-top attack that earned him a $20 sprint bonus. His daring break sparked a five-man group that maintained a strong pace all the way to the finish line, overtaking the earlier-starting Cat 3/4 riders who began five minutes before. In the final sprint, Luke powered through to claim a decisive victory, taking first place!

Time Trial
On Saturday, Luke also competed in the time trial finishing 9th, just 90 seconds off the pace—an impressive result for only participating that day.

Masters 50/60+

Team MACK entered seven riders in the Omnium, including Price Cooper and Michael Twigg (50+), and Jeff Bohanan, Kent Bostick, Thomas Burridge, James Halpin, and Thomas Soeder (60+). Facing strong competition from current and former National Champions, our riders held their own.

On May 29, during the 45-mile road race, Price and Michael showcased resilience on challenging climbs and fast descents, finishing 10th and 34th respectively. Despite battling a stomach virus, Michael performed admirably.

Masters 60+
5/29
Road Race
The 60+ squad worked cohesively amid numerous breakaway attempts. Ultimately, a solo rider finished a minute ahead, but James Halpin responded with an excellent lead-out, winning the field sprint for 2nd place with Jeff Bohanan 11th, Kent Bostick 13th, Thomas Soeder 14th and Thomas Burridge in 22nd.

Masters 50+
5/30
Road Race
A grueling 7-lap course with 4,000 feet of climbing, Price Cooper made a decisive move with two laps remaining, bridging into a race-winning break with four others. The group collaborated effectively, building a significant gap. Price pushed hard up the final climb and secured victory in the finish. Meanwhile, Michael Twigg finished 34th, having expended significant energy defending the chase.

Masters 60+
5/30
Road Race
The challenging 7-lap course, featuring 4,000 feet of climbing, proved tough once again for both the 50+ and 60+ categories. The team showed perseverance, but fatigue from the grueling climbs and heat was apparent. Jeff Bohanan placed 9th overall, with Kent Bostick close behind in 10th. Thomas Soeder finished 19th, Thomas Burridge took 20th, and James Halpin, who had been on the podium yesterday, unfortunately, did not finish.

Time Trial on May 30th, only the MACK riders competing for the Overall Omnium took part. In the 50+ group, Price Cooper finished 9th, and Michael Twigg was 20th. For the 60+ category, Kent Bostick secured 8th place, with Jeff Bohanan close behind in 14th.

Masters 50+
5/31
Criterium
This criterium was incredibly fast, and the heat made it particularly difficult. Price Cooper finished in a respectable 11th place, and Michael Twigg came home 26th—not bad, considering he was sick all weekend.

Masters 60+
5/31
Criterium
This criterium also had very warm temperatures and fast-paced action. We had James Halpin in 8th, Kent Bostick in 9th, Thomas Soeder in 14th, and Thomas Burridge in 15th, while Jeff Bohanan did not finish.

The McClintock (55+ Age Group)

Giorgio DiPaolo was the sole MACK starter in the grueling 100-mile gravel race, featuring challenging 12% gradient washed-out roads and a demanding course with 11,500 feet of elevation. Despite the cold, rainy weather reducing the field size, Giorgio pushed through to finish in 8:42:51, earning 6th overall and 2nd place in the 55+ category. This was Giorgio’s second attempt at this race—last year ending with a flat—and his first finisher.

2026 Team MACK Elite Masters Rider Announcement

Peter Megdal 60+
Memphis, TN

Peter Megdal’s competitive cycling career spans more than four decades, reflecting a lifelong dedication to athletic endurance and technical precision. His trajectory in the sport is punctuated by a focus on the "hour record"—universally regarded as one of cycling's most prestigious and grueling benchmarks. As defined by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), this record measures the maximum distance a cyclist can cover on a velodrome track within sixty minutes from a stationary start. It is a solitary test of physical power and mental resilience that has been contested by the sport’s greatest legends.

While Megdal previously held the World mark for the 60–64 age group, that record has since been surpassed. However, he continues to dominate the masters circuit as the current formal holder of the UCI Masters World Hour Record for the 65–69 age category. In September 2025, at the high-altitude Bicentenario Velodrome in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Megdal delivered a historic performance by covering a distance of 47.220 km (29.34 miles).

This achievement shattered the previous 65+ world record by more than a full kilometer, underscoring the possibilities of high-performance aging. Megdal’s career remains a definitive example of how technical precision and long-term commitment can result in world-class achievements at the highest levels of the sport.

We welcome aboard Peter Megdal as a valued team member and sponsor!!

Long Run Circuit Race Day 2

Masters 40-50-60+

Ben Beger, Kent Bostick, Tom Burridge, Price Cooper, Kevin Johnson, Trent Long, Michael Twigg and Tommy Wilson were extremely pumped up after our team meeting about an hour before the start of the Derby City Omnium stage 2 at Long Run Park. The course of sharp turns, steep climbs and descents was perfectly suited to or strong squad. After the start Price Cooper hammered the first uphill section of the day with an early aggressive move with the assistance of Tommy and Trent. This aggression put the 60+ field onto their back foot. While the chase group of Kent Bostick and Tom Burridge were able to weld back on after a lap of chasing ultimately Kent was the only 60+ that was able to make the selection 3 laps in. Kent then rode in for the race win and locking up the omnium championship. A chase group of six 60+ competitors along with Mike Twigg were left to sort out the remaining spots. While Kevin Johnson and Burridge attacked the group on multiple occasions it came down to a field sprint.

Price Cooper with the assistance of Trent Long and Tommy Wilson managed to move clear with David Richter, Jason Meidhof and Jonathon Jacabs. Richter won the sprint for 1st over team MACK’s Price Cooper. After two days of racing results are below.

The Derby City Omnium

Louisville, KY
05/09/2026

Team MACK started 8 riders today at the Derby City Omnium day 1. Kevin Johnson, Michael Twigg, Kent Bostick, Tom Burridge, Tommy Wilson, Price Cooper, Ben Beger and Trent Long.
Ben Beger rode aggressively the first 6 laps breaking away a couple different times. It was obvious that there would be no breaks from the 50/60+ riders, so we started setting up for a field sprint finish. Wilson, Long, Beger, Twigg and Johnson started ushering Bostick, Burridge and Cooper to the front where they would have a shot at the 50+ and 60+ victories.
It worked out well Price Cooper finished up 2nd in the 50+ and Kent Bostick nailed down 1st in the 60+.
Tommy Wilson , Trent Long, Michael Twigg, Tom Burridge, Kevin Johnson and Ben Beger did fantastic jobs all in the top eleven!!

Masters 40+
(Thanks Camden for the race report)
- Road Race - Camden Simon and Tommy Wilson were scheduled to go to the RR on Saturday. Unfortunately the area received 2.8" of rain over 12 hours, forcing a cancellation of the Road Race. It might be rescheduled, they are considering options.

- Time Trial - Sunday brought far better weather, albeit unreasonable low temperatures of 44 at 7am. They pushed back the start times by one hour. We had 55 degrees, cloudless skies, and 10 to 15 mph cross winds out of the NW. Camden raced in the Masters 40 division on a new-to-him borrowed TT setup (thank you and shout out to friends Kahwai Muriithie and Andrew Crater for making it possible!!!). Camden was scheduled to roll at 9:33:00. After a snafu of the starter talking to the timer, they got him rolling at 9:33:36am...... fortunately he was in the start cue 9 min early, so he was not penalized the extra time on corrected results. It was a flat course of 35.6 km and 200 ft elevation gain. Camden rolled generally well as this was his first real TT in 12 years. Unfortunately in trying to pace properly, at 4 miles to go he realized he missed the mark and had paced to conservatively and had way too much energy left. So he pushed harder to try to make up the difference. He came in at 51:40 for 2nd place which put him 1:07 out of first.
A hard course with noticeable cross winds and no real respite or places to recover. Overall, a solid day!
