Tour De Dells Crit. Sporting the New Endeavour / Advantage Benefits Jersey. The team has yet to get the new Team shorts. Posted by Hello

Saturday I went down to the race in Muskego Crit with Gary and Evan I was planning on racing the Jrs Race and when we got there I desided to race the 3's race and the Pro 1,2,3's Race. The course was about a mile long with a small but steep climb and a down hill finish that I wasn't to happy about, down hill sprinting is not my thing . As the race got started the first few laps were fast and lots of attacking going on as i just sat in the pack waiting for something that looked desent to stay away then try to bridge it. About half way through the race there was a crash right behind me so I glanced back to see an IScorp Rider sliding across the road as he looked ok. THe next lap they stopped the race as the rider had landed face first and was not responding to anything and had to be air lifted to the area hospital.As they didnt finish the Cat 3s Race .
PRo 1,2,3's Race
The race started out kinda slow and didnt thin out the feild very much with it being about 40 strong. As the attacks started the pace picked up I went to the front of the pack to help cover moves for the team . With about 7 laps to go two riders got off the front.They didnt seem to be gaining anytime and with 1 lap to go they were still dangling off the front as the sprint started todd was able to get on Andy Crater's Wheel but wasnt able to pull around him and finished 4th with the two guys off the front finishing just ahead of the sprint . The team did good covering moves for Todd Miller to finish 4th and maybe take over the points series .

Tour De Dells Crit

Well I woke up Sunday morning not planning to race and I was outside doing stuff when I thought its a nice day for a race so I asked my dad if he wanted to go to the race in Wisconsin Dells he said sure. The race started at 3:50 and we left the house around 11:30 and arriving around 1:30 with plenty of time to sit around and watch the other races . The race course was one of my favorite types about a mile long with 1/3 of it being down hill and an uphill finish coming out of hard left turn. About 1/3 way through the race two riders getting off the front as nobody chased . After a few laps they were still gaining time on the field two teams started to chase as 1 of the riders droped off the lead and the pack picking him up as 1 rider remained off the front with about 4 laps to go and no chance of catching him and every 1 stoped chasing him. With two laps to go I attacked going over the top of the finishing climb and Me and two others got a gap but none of them wanted to do anywork as we got caught. Again with 1 lap to go I attacked in the same spot and again this time me and 3 others got a good gap on teh rest of the field but again nobody wanted to do anywork and was got pulled back with a half lap to go, I was sitting 3rd wheel going into the last turn and coming out teh guy in front of me lost contack with the leaders wheel as I had to go around him but couldnt get around the leader and finished second in the sprint and 3rd in the race I was happy with my result for not even planning on racing Sunday .
