Note to Jordan: Smile dude. You won! Jordan went 3 for 3 in the Juniors under 15 this weekend. He won Snake Alley Saturday, Muscatine on Sunday, and Quad Cities on Memorial day. Well done Jordan.
Jordan doubled up again on our 3rd and last day of racing. This gave him a total of 7 races in 3 days. The Quad Cities Crit course in Rock Island, IL is a flat, fast 8 corner crit right downtown.
Juniors under 15 raced 1st. Jordan attacked off the line, and drew out 2 riders, Pete Davis and Evan Hartig. He kept the pace hard, and attacked them on the last lap for his 3rd solo victory of the weekend.
The Juniors 15-18 race started immediately following the younger juniors race. This was the fastest race of the weekend for Jordan, and he once again found himself fighting for position. Unfortunately, he got caught up behind a crash half way into the race, and ended up chasing solo. The field lapped him on the final lap. He took it in stride, and savoured the success of his weekend.
I did the Master 30+ 1/2/3 race, which was a blast. I covered a couple early attacks, and then sat in the back and rested for the middle part of the race. With about 5 to go, I went to the front, and worked to close a small gap to 3 riders who were off the front. I gave it may all for 2 laps, and that was all she wrote. I rolled in solo, off the back. Teammate Doig scored another 8th place, to match his finish at Weed Park.
The Pro/1/2 race was a unbelievable to watch. Adam Bergman won from a 2-man break that got away late in the race. Teammate Woell rode a great race, and finished 15th. Nice. Zim was right there too, but got caught behind a crash in the last lap.
The best part of the weekend was it offered 3 different types of courses. Snake Alley is a challenging race of attrition. Weed Park is a cool circuit race in a beautiful park. Finally, Rock Island is a true criterium.
