Erin and Meghan racing their bikes!

Erin and Meghan both got out and raced their bikes today. They ride for ICCC team (International Christian Cycling Club). They love to race, but have NO interest in practice. They still look so cute in their kits!!!

Fed Center Registration and Bake Sale

Once again, a successful year at Fed. Center running registration. This makes for a long day, but worth it. We have a great team that steps up and helps in all areas. We did a bake sale this year to help raise money for our SW 1-2 training camp. Rachel, ATH and Jenny made awesome breakfast burritos, nothing but good things to say about those yummy burritos!

This looks familiar

Another podium finish with Jeannie, Megan and Terrie. This is looking all too familiar, I think we need someone new up there!!!

VonVon working hard

VonVon went out hot and set the pace high for our race, I thought this picture was so cool.

Fed Center Race

We had a great race. Seems like no other team wanted to race their bikes today. I think the presence of Jeannie freaks everyone out. Megan Hottman did her fair share of the work, but our thought was- we don't want Jeannie to think that the Colo. peloton doesn't know how to race bikes hard. We were not content to sit on her wheel the entire race, we worked hard to keep the pace high. In the end, Megan and Terrie got away with Jeannie until the last lap when Jeannie put the hurt on everyone and did what only she can do, leave everyone behind. Megan and Terrie battled it out between the two of them and the rest of us did our best to hold the peloton off. The MOB gals finally got out to race their bikes at the end of the race, which made it fun for the rest of us. They did a good job of attacking and trying to bridge the gap that Terrie and Megan had. In the end Megan was 2nd and Terrie was 3rd. VonVon who took a flyer early in the race to set the pace high ended up 4th. Turbomama hung in there for a 6th and I was 7th. Lisa Renee did a great job in working hard at this race, ending up with our chase group and finished 9th. Nice job ladies, 5 riders in the top 10 is the reason why we are winning the BAT this year.

Steamworks Beer for Prizes

I think a huge reason that everyone loves this race is because we give away Steamworks beer for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Who wouldn't want to go home from a race with a case of this awesome product???
