Donnie's Indoor Cycling Experience will be providing 2 Compu Trainers for another chance to race.

As always Iowa City race weekend offered us challenging weather and even more challenging competition. Dominic Moraniec was able to capture 5th place in a challenging masters field with his expert handling skills, and then come back to get 7th in an even tougher CAT4 field. Scott Murphy was able to get 6th place in the CAT4 race.

Amanda Miller had an amazing 2nd place finish in the strong Women's open field holding off attacks from a much larger Mercy Specialized team.

The CAT3 race fielded a large group of experienced riders, Atlas had a strong finish in this race placing 3 riders in the top 15 with Jim Cochran getting second.

Hi everyone!

Bike to Work Week is May 15th through 19th and I have been hard at work with the planning committee for way too long now but look at what we have to show for it! The schedule for the week is posted at the website, check it out at www.cicbikeweek.org Plan to ride your bike to work that week (duh - I know you all ride to work all the time, right?!?!) and if you can only participate in one event I would recommend the Wednesday night ride from the New Pi Coop Iowa City to the New Pi Coop in Coralville. Very family oriented event, should be a good time. If any of you are interested in getting involved with the events let me know, I will update you all as we get closer to the festivities.

Racers toured the brick streets of Hillsboro in a neutral rolling start, on a 22 mile course that has all the makings of a Spring Classic: Flat open back roads heading into a northern headwind, rolling terrain, short but challenging climbs, twisty descents, potholes, gravel corners, and village cobble streets made for some exciting racing! The Category 3 race had the pack of 80 racers doing 3 laps for 66 miles, Jim Cochran would escape off the front in a two-man break-away with nearly 50 miles remaining. Tracy Thompson and Nick Martin controlled the main pack which had been reduced to about 15 riders, and Cochran would take the win with Thompson and Martin finishing 12th and 13th. The Category 4 women racers would do two laps for 44 miles. Amanda Miller again would play her hand correctly, sitting calmly in the pack for another sprint finish win for her 3rd win of the season.
