It was a busy weekend. Saturday started with a road race, Sunday was a criterium and Monday was also a criterium.
Saturday was the Velo Cause Road Race. It was held in Palmyra, WI. The weather was a bit windy with lots of sunshine and temperature was in the 80's. The course was just over 8 miles per lap and had one climb that was challenging for me. I had to do 5 laps. I placed 7th. Here is a video of some of the last lap and finishing sprint.

Sunday was the MOSH Criterium and was held at the Midwest Orthopedic Specialty Hospital in Franklin, WI. This course was AWESOME! Very technical that went through the parking lot. You were always turning. It did have a slight hill on it. The weather was not great, but I was happy to just stay dry for the most part. Very cloudy, windy and the average temperature was 54 degrees. It was a very active race with lots of attacks. With the unpredictable weather the fields were very small. M1,2,3 only had 11 or 12 racers. I finished 5th and that was good enough to win $20.00. Here is a video of the 1st and last lap of the race.

Monday was the Velo Cause Criterium and was held at Concordia University in Mequon. Weather was partly cloudy, very windy and in the 70's. The course was relatively flat. There was a 3 man breakaway that stayed away. When the break happened I was pretty gassed from being very active to try to make sure I wouldn't get caught out of a break. I finished 6th. Darn it, 1 position out of getting any $. Here is a video of the first and last lap.
