Grinnell Crit--Dee Take 3rd in Cat 1/2/3

Dee M came off of the grimy gravel roads to put the light, fast bike on the pavement and see what she had in the tank. She proved that the time on the tandem has been well spent as she placed 3rd in this race.

Congrats to Dee!! We all know she will be back after her and Dave demolish Leadville!

Megan Takes Rose Fest Crit and Road Races

Big Congrats to Megan K for winning both the twilight crit and the road race in State Center. Beside these awesome victories, a new slew of pink racers were initiated.

Melinda R came out for her third race and placed 7th overall at the Road Race. Erika Y tried her hand at the Road Race and took 8th overall. Both raced in the Cat 4 race. This race was a single lap with plenty of hills. Both of these gals hung on and then raced fine races through the 20+ miles.



Megan hung at the front of the pack and sprinted to victory in Road Race to follow up on her first place the night before. Megan is leading the Iowa Cup points race this year.

Melinda and Erika both celebrated their places:



Rock on to the pink ladies!!!

Squaw Creek May 7

Squaw Creek crit was raced on a sunny Saturday in Marion, IA. The compact course contained several steep climbs including one at the finish. The 1/2/3s raced along with the 4s leading to a very fast start.
The pack stayed together until the long, steep down hill and sweeping left turn. That combination netted out the meek from the courageous.


Megan K sat off the wheel of front Mercy gals for the whole race. She showed her
mettle with a burst at the final hill to take second place. Lee held on for a fourth place finish.
