The Australian National Team came to Bike Jam with a plan.
The plan was to set up Bridie O'Donnell (Australian National Team) for a solo attack.
With Bridie O'Donnell (Australian National Team) off the front, Colavita and Team Type 1 began to chase. However, the remaining members of the Australian National Team weren't finished executing their plan.
Bridie O'Donnell (Australian National Team) built a solid lead until a crash in the filed neutralized the race. Upon the restart, Bridie was allowed to retain her time gap.
With the race back on, Team Type 1 picked up where they left off while Colavita looked back for more support.
Team Verducci stepped in to help out only to find that those pesky Australian National Team riders had different ideas.
At one point, with just a few laps remaining, the field came within striking distance. Bridie O'Donnell (Australian National Team) felt the heat and pushed even harder.
After riding almost the entire race solo, Bridie O'Donnell (Australian National Team) wins the 2009 Bike Jam.
Laura van Gilder (C3 Sollay) pulled the field for the last 1000 meters and still sprinted for second. Erica Allar (BMW Bianchi) - not pictured - rounded out the sprint for third.
The quiet before the storm.
Russ Langley (Battley Harley-Davidson) set the stage for what would become the race theme - solo attack and capture.
Kyle Wamsley (Colavita) and Jared Babik (Indiana Regional Medical Center) in full pursuit of Russ Langley (Battley Harley-Davidson).
Russ Langley (Battley Harley-Davidson) looks back as the field reabsorbs him.
After each capture, another acceleration would occur.
Brian Butts (Battley Harley-Davidson) keeps a finger on the brake just in case. It may be the camera angle, but does Brian have a bit of toe over-lap?
Clayton Barrows (CRCA\Empire Cycling) advances his position by taking to the grass. If this was Formula One Motosport, he'd receive a time penalty for that.
Jon Bruno (IF\Lionette's) follows suit by cutting the corner.
It looks like majority rules. Everybody begins to use the grass.
Team Mountain Khakis rode aggressively all day. Here, Will Hoffarth has a go at it, only to be chased down by a Colavita rider.
Colavita and Kelly Benefits never took their eyes off each other.
A wide run-in to a slightly narrower finish would cause problems later on in the race.
Scott Zwizanski (Kelly Benefits) shows the strain of the pace.
Winner a day earlier in Wilmington, Delaware, Zack Bell (Kelly Benefits) gets a pedal in the spokes and searches for his radio as he runs to the pits. Maybe wearing bib 13 wasn't working out for him.
Upon arriving in the pits, Zack Bell found that teammate Alex Candelario (Kelly Benefits) was experiencing a bit of misfortune, too.
Next to try and escape was Colavita's Luis Amaran. It wouldn't last for long.
After that, Jonathan Page (Battley Harley-Davidson) tried to get away but it was not to be today.
Ramon Benitez (Immediate Mortgage) rode the final few laps with hand, elbow, hip and thigh injuries.
With the entire field still intact on the final lap, things were going to get a bit crazy.
Sure enough, riders go down after getting the bell.
Kirk O'Bee (Bissell Cycling) outsprints the field to take the win.
The men's podium (l to r): Aldo Ino Ilesic (Team Type 1), Kirk O'Bee (Bissell Cycling) and Lucas Sebastian (Colavita Sutter Home).

Baltimore's Patterson Park provided a great backdrop but the riders did not have time to enjoy it as it was a fast race.
Kirk O'Bee (Bissell) tries to stay out of trouble in a race filled with crashes.
The previous night's rain left some puddles along the race course.
A crash took out some of the favorites including Frank Travieso (Champion Porche) and Frank Pipp (Bissell) with one lap to go.
A pile of bikes at the start line: Not what you want to see with one lap to go.
Aldo Ino Ilesic (Team Type 1), Kirk O'Bee (Bissell) and Lucas Sebastian (Colavita/Sutter Home) start the sprint.
Kirk O'Bee (Bissell) came from behind in the sprint.
The sprint gets a little hairy as the riders shift to the barriers.

A Battley HARLEY-DAVIDSON/Sonoma rider leads the peloton around the Pulaski Monument.
