Cat4 Series Update.

Race 3 is in the bag for the CAT4 Series.
Race three of the seven race series was the Fire Cracker Criterium down in Eugene. Racing was good, really good. Although I’d have to say turn out was poor, but also expected due to the holiday weekend. Collen Flaherty of Veloce won and has added to her lead. Tamara Metz (veloce) is in a close third and will like bump Beth Burns from second after the next race, if she dosen't some one will as Beth has gotten the upgrade. Speaking of upgrades Beth Burns, Heather Gundersen, Laura McGraw, and Abby Jenkins have all been upgraded to Cat 3’s congratulations Ladies!

In house news Laura McGraw was second in her first Cat1,2,3 race a few weeks back (Salem Circuit race), I know she wanted the win, but we have a little in house rule and she knows what it is... I know a win is in the near future :). Laura is proving to be a criterium and track based rider as every time I talk about either type of racing her eye’s sparkle and she gets really excited. Now to just get her on the track more so she can improve on that sprint.

Cascade Starts on Wednesday. Hopefully I will have time to make posts. If not maybe I can get someone who can really write to do it. Thanks for reading
Cheers
