For the 45s, this was a hard and hot race. The field blew apart and we finished with only about 15 or so guys left in the front group. Todd Robertson, went off the front with 30 or so minutes left and we could not bring him back. His team mate, Larry Marti did some very good blocking through the technical course. Pete Lucke, Craig Hoffer, Adam Asnes and a few other individuals did our best to bring him back. Pete and Craig did the most on that effort for a few laps, but without consistent chasing, we weren't bringing him back. Adam lead out Pete with a hard sprint on the long backstretch straightaway, next two corners and half way up the next long straight. Pete came around Adam and unfortunately Larry Marti was on his wheel. Otherwise, we might have been 2nd and 3rd rather than 2nd and 4th, but still a satisfying bit of teamwork. The promoters did a great job. This is a tough course, and it's always exciting to be in a town center, even a sleepy, charming little town like Niwot.

In the combined Pro 1-2, 35+ race CJ, Josh, Jim, and Lee started what was a fast and furious race. It was nuts, single file for the first 40 minutes, as Mr T would say "prediction, PAIN". Boulder Orthopedics had a bunch of guys and they really rode well. Josh was the only Mix1 one to finish and he took 4th in the masters race behind 3 Boulder Orthopedics riders. They rode very well.
