Cold weather, hot racing!

    The Antelope Island Classic is one of the most anticipated races of the Utah season.  The course provides plenty of challenge and opportunity for discerning racers.  And for the past 3 years, the weather has been a major factor.  This year was no different.  The roads were dry for once, but the cold was there is full force.  30 degree temps greeted the racers to the island.

    The racing got underway at 8 a.m. for TBS/CFA Racing.  Blake took a hard earned 7th place in the Cat 4's to add to his upgrade point tally.  Justin Gibson was right behind on the steep uphill finish for 9th.  The Masters Men made a great showing next.  After working extremely hard to stay with the leaders on the tough power climbs on each of the 3 laps of the island, Doug Olmstead scored a season best 9th place.  Ben Towery faded back to 17th on the steep final 200 meters but made a race out of it.

    The TBS/CFA ladies also had a successful outing.  Keri Gibson made the top 5 in the 1/2/3's and Heather Smith scored a 7th in the Cat 4's.

    Manny Cypers finished a well earned 12th in the Pro 1/2 category and our best finish on the day went to Darren Goff who landed 3rd on the podium.

    This team races as a team and the success is enjoyed by all.  The great results wouldn't happen without the help of the group.  A huge congrats to Dustin, Kevan, Jody, Denis, Danielle, Jaren and Trent for finishing strong and supporting their mates!

    The busy schedule continues this week with the State Crit Champs and then the always competitive Bear Lake Classic.
