Hillsboro Roubaix RR

On March 31st the team headed to Hillsboro, IL for what we all knew would be a tough day of racing. In the men’s cat 3 event, 8 of us along with 100+ others raced the 3-lap 66-mile course of hills, cobblestones, gravel strewn tight turns and at times merciless wind.

Notable high and low moments for us included Jon's chain self destructing, Jim's tire going flat in the closing moments of the race, Steve's amazing 22 mile breakaway on lap 2 and Chip and Eric's titanic work at the front when it counted. Yet we all still finished!

High finishers for us were Seth in 4th and Lee in 8th.

In the women’s 1-2-3 event Devon and Megan took on the pros. On the same course, with the same conditions and distance, Devon and Megan very impressively finished 6th and 16th.
