Squaw Creek Race Report

Sunday was a good day for the Green Team at Squaw Creek.

Ladies first: Nichiole Nicole Fiala and Deb Wood finished 1st & 2nd resectively in the women cat 4 field.

Paul Deninger won the masters outright and later served masterfully in the cat 1|2 race.

I counted 11 American Equity guys toeing the line in the cat 1|2|3 race. The 3's would race with the cat 1|2's but be scored seperately. We opted to race it straight up, without regard to categories, since our 3's are so strong. Our strategy paid off when after several attacks by our 1|2's to soften things, Louis DeWild attacked the field taking the right combination of adversaries with him to neutralize the peleton. In the end, Louis finished 2nd overall and 1st in the cat 3's. Joshua Wandrey, in only his 5th bicycle race ever, went on to take 2nd in the cat 3's. The balance of the top ten cat 1|2 results list included several American Equity names.

Hats off to Larry Howe and HBA Racing for hosting a super event!
