Team BH finished off 10 days of racing at the Tour of America's Dairyland this past Sunday. We battled steep climbs (they exist in WI!), endured hot and humid weather, and competed against strong fields. With Verducci, Kenda, and Lipsmackers fielding strong riders, we had an intense battle for the overall jersey. We were able to wear yellow for a couple days, but ended up 2nd in the overall to a very strong Verducci squad (Congrats to Jessi and the team!).
Throughout the individual races, we also fared quite well with a number of top 10's and 4 podiums! Here is Madeleine taking 2nd after her last minute solo breakaway at the Fond Du Lac crit (sorry for the poor photography):
Here is Devon standing on the top step after the Greenbush RR drinking the winning recovery drink (chocolate milk --- mmm!):
Overall, ToAD was a super venue! The races were well run and a ton of fun! The promoters also prioritized the women's racing -- putting out great primes and a prize list that was competitive with the men. The women's field wasn't huge this year, but hopefully the good word gets out about this series so that the numbers grow in years to come.
Team BH now has a short hiatus in our race schedule... for some of us Sunday was race number 16 in the last 19 days -- time for our legs to get a rest!
