![]() Race date: 3/6/16 Race Name: CBR Crit #3 Location: Carson, CA Type: Women’s 1/2/3 Crit Rider: Colleen Place: 2nd Today was a very unusual day in California… there was a forecast of rain. Since it rains so infrequently all of the oils come up from the road and racing becomes very dangerous. I made the last minute call… after my morning track workout… to go race when the forecast had cleared. Even though the skies were blue there was a 17 mph wind. This made the race challenging with a very strong field of 1/2/3 women. There were a few attempts at break-aways but the wind kept everything together. There were a few teams in the race so the pace was kept high with a few lead out trains coming into the finish. I was able to get into a position at the back of one of the trains coming into the last ½ lap. When the sprint started I was in a great position and sprinted up the final uphill stretch to a 2nd place finish and another podium for Riptide-Cawes. Thank you to our sponsors who keep us rolling week in and week out. : )
