Superweek Day 3- Bellin Health Village of Howard Cycling Classic

Bellin Health Village of Howard Cycling Classic in Green Bay was a nice flat crit with a strip mall on one side and a farm field with big bales of hay on the other. Strange.

The race was full of attacks and counter attacks. Maia and Kelly mixed it up as well. Kelly got in a two woman break, but it didn't stick. There were lots of attempts at breaks, but nothing really got too far away. The back side of the course had a slight up hill rise and had a pretty good head wind. Coming into the finish, Kelly jumped too early and had a good gap, but couldn't hold the 34.8 mph to the line and ended up 4th. Maia finished 16th and thought it was a really fun race.

Overall, Kelly ended the day in 3rd, and Maia ended in 21st.

The money winners for the day. (Well, John Coyle took 24th, but his daughter didn't race.)

Ray finished 6th in the 40+ and then doubled up in the P/1/2 race later.

Brent took a flyer on the last lap and motored home for a W in the Cat 4!!

Kroske rode strong and finished 7th in the Cat 3 race.

Luke finished 20th in a race won by the Aussie Olympic Gold Medal Pursuit winner.
