A small field assembled after a rain delay for the Castle Rock Crit. After numerous attacks, Matt Segur got away with 5 other guys. Matt, realizing he was away with sprinters, started attacking the break and succeeded separating some of the wheat from the chaff. With a few laps remaining Matt started attacking in attempt to get away from the sprinters. Unfortunately he was reeled in time and again. Blown from his manly efforts, Matt ended up 4th. Behind in the bunch gallop, Lee led out so fast, he ended up taking the field sprint for 5th and Josh finished 6th.

The race began with a furious pace, with riders trying to break things up early. Matt, the energizer bunny, Segur put in some huge digs and due to his efforts and others, the field was quickly cut in half. Boulder Orthopedics send Carlos off the front about midway through the race, but Jim Thies and Michael kept him in check and Carlos was caught late in the race. With a field sprint looking likely, Mix One massed at the front for the lead out. Things got confusing with one to go as a few of the other riders sprinted one lap early, but Josh and Lee were paying attention and with Lee leading things into the 2nd roundabout, the fix was in. Josh launched out of the 2nd roundabout and was not caught. A real team win!
