While much of the Mix1 team was racing at the National Masters Championships in Bend, Oregon, Mix1's Matt Vawter and Peter Ismert decided to race closer to home and participated in the Steamboat Springs Stage Race. The fields were a bit small, but the racing was still big. Matt had the best overall success by claiming second place in the end, propelled by a solid time trial result, a good second place finish in the road race, and a hard fought 3rd place finish in the final criterium. After four days of racing, he was only 14 seconds out of first place overall. Peter just missed getting into the top 3 spots on the podium for the final overall, but was able to come away from the weekend with success by winning both criteriums. Matt and Peter's performance put the final stamp on the Mix1 45+ team's successful season which ultimately ended in winning the ACA Best All-around Team competition and Peter coming in second in the Best All-around Rider competition for the 45+ category. The 45+ team is due some well-deserved down time for the remainder of the year as 2012 is just around the corner.
Podium for the final stage with Peter taking the win and Matt in 3rd. We apologize for Matt's belly sticking out!
