Colavita Florida Masters 45+ rider Paul Hardison lined up for a pair of road races in Cape Coral on December 11 to determine FL State Senior Games Champions. The 20k and 40k circuit loop races on a flat and typically very windy course gave masters riders 50 and older the opportunity to garner a state title outside of the FPS series using 5 year age groups. The cycle races are part of the larger 2008 Florida Senior Games presented by the Florida Sports Foundation, which also offers track & field, teams sports, and several other competitive venues. Atheletes were vying for opportunities to contest the 2009 Summer National Senior Games to be ran in Palo Alto, CA, on and around the Stanford University campus.
