SUPERWEEK INTERNATIONAL-POINT PREMIUM ROOT BEER CYCLING CLASSIC 2009 WHITEFISH BAY CRITERIUM
On a 0.8 mile; 6 corner circuit the peleton seemed excited that two and a half weeks of racing was coming to an end. However, perhaps everyone was a little jittery because in the third corner of the VERY first lap, half the peleton went down! I was fortunate enough to avoid the catastrophe; however, I glanced back and realized none of the NOW MS-Society girls were in the field. Not a problem they all joined in on the next lap and we were racing again.
A couple groups went up the road; being very active we were represented in all of them. Realizing the group was sufficiently shattered towards the end of the race it was looking like a field sprint was in our near future. We organized with five laps to go; and with the hard work of PC, Lauen and Jenjo I was able to be first wheel through the last corner and held on for dear life pulling off a 5th place.
Lauren rounded it off with a top 10 finish.
We can not say thank you enough for all the support we have received to make this trip happen. Hope you enjoyed following your very own U-25 Women's NOW MS-Society team.
Sincerely,
Julia Lafranchise
