55+ Mead Roubaix

It was an early wake-up call for another Colorado dirt road classic.  Steve B, Butch, and Bill shook off the cobwebs from a tough day of time trailing at the Haystack raced, and hit the dirt in Mead.  You know it's going to be a hard day when you're on your trainer getting ready to race, and instead of warming up, you're just getting tired! 
There was some aggressive riding on the first of 3 laps from Steve B the Natural Grocers boys and Chris Beaudin which whittled the front group down to 10 guys.  Bill hit it hard up the hill on the 2nd lap and did some further whittling down to 5.  Chris B almost slayed us all the third and final time up the hill with a big attack, but he couldn’t follow up over the top and Bill and one rider from BO held on.  This set the stage for a 3 way sprint, which Bill took handily for the win.  Butch and Steve B came in with the next group rounding out the team placings in 11th and 12th respectively.
