We started off with the toughest road race course in the midwest on Thursday (and the proposed Olympic Course for 2016). After two top 10 finishes for Team BH, we then headed into a series of criteriums over the weekend in Waterloo, Grafton, and Manitowoc. Along with several top 10 finishes, we also managed to win the leader's jersey for a day!
After a day off of racing, the full squad headed up to Fond Du Lac for race #5. The sun also came out in full force with temperatures reaching the mid-90's! (yikes!!) The race started out slowly... i think we were all a little intimidated by the sizzling sun. However in lap 2 out of 6, the racing began and after a series of attacks a break of 7 formed. The break worked well together and stayed away for the next 4 laps. In a close sprint to the finish, Team BH took home a W and we'll get to wear the leader's jersey for another day. With other teams trailing very closely behind in the overall, it should turn out to be 5 more days of exciting racing!!
Outside of racing, we have gotten to tour other sides of America's Dairyland... particularly the frozen custard. This is one of the best culinary delights that Wisconsin has to offer. The cool delicious treat especially hits the spot after a hard day of racing. My favorite place to go is Kopps -- they have a variety of yummy flavors, nicely sized portions, and some pretty good cheeseburgers too. I'm looking forward to a butter pecan cone tomorrow -- MMmmm!
You guys are racing great! Keep it up! Tell Jason I am ready for more radio wars. :) Stay cool!!!
