SpringSeries Spring Breakout Race 1 sponsored by Bob's Bicycles
Team Mercedes turned out in full force, for the first race of the Spring Series sponsored by Bob’s Bicycles. The weather was miserable, about 40 degrees at start time, and rainy much of the race. The Men’s Pro/1/2 race started promptly at 9: am with about 23 riders. We are fortunate that we are allowed on the course, to photo the race. Most of the photos are the Pro/1/2 race, but there are numerous photos sparsed about of the Men Cat 3 and a few of the Men Cat 4/5. The field came back together in the third and fourth laps and the finish was close, with Kai Applequist of Team Mercedes taking first, Paul Warner of Team CLIF Bar second and Jeremy Ward of Team Mercedes third. The team did the job to take the win in the first race of the season for most riders. More riders in the Pro/1/2 Category this year and likely more competition ahead. The Pro race was 66 miles, 4 loops of the course, the Cat 3 was 50 miles and the Cat 4/5 was 34 miles.
Proud of all the riders and proud of Team Mercedes. Thank you to Vern Ward and Bob’s Bicycles for putting on the series. A great job from what we see.
Enjoy the photos.
