Paul Martin Is A BAD ASS!

Who is this Paul Martin you ask? That was the same question that we were asking back in the early 90's as a young category 3 by the name of Paul Martin was consistently getting up there in the 1-3 races throughout Ohio. That was also the same question that Eddie Van Guys (the voice of Superweek) asked in the mid-90's when Martin was on his way to securing the best amateur rider at Superweek as he consistently found himself in the winning breaks in the Pro 1-2 races. Everyone knew who Paul Martin was as he went on to win the elite men's national championship road race in 1997 and then secured a contract with the Navigators, racing with them and the West Virginia Go-Mart professional cycling team until he retired from professional racing in 2003. And now, everyone who pays attention to cycling in the US knows who he is again. Paul has continued to race while working full time as an attorney in the Cleveland metro area and, let's just say, he just had a very successful week racing his bike.

Last week, Paul won the Masters 35+ National Championship Road Race. He then travelled over to Chicago and won the 2nd stage in the Pro 1-2 category at Superweek before traveling back to Seven Springs where he proceeded to win the Elite Men's National Championship Road Race. So, that is 3 wins in a week, 2 of them being National Championships.

That is why, Paul Martin is a bad ass. Congratulations Paul!
