Jordan had one of his best races ever, winning the Category 3 race at the Snake Alley Criterium in Burlington, IA.
The race consisted of 15 laps, each with a steep climb up the "crookedest alley in the world" (as seen in the photo below).
Jordan made the initial selection of 12 riders, from over 60 starters. Jordan raced the Juniors 15-18 earlier in the day, and had a disappointing 5th place finish. He knew he could do better.
With 5 laps to go, Jordan attacked his group on the Snake. He established a small gap, which slowly grew. By the finish he was 30 seconds clear, taking an impressive solo victory.
The funny thing was that after Jordan's disappointment in the Juniors race at Snake Alley, he stated "I'm not racing the Cat 3's Dad." I convinced him to shake it off, regroup, and focus. Clearly, he did just that. Well done Jordan!

Well done, Jordan, indeed. I was one of the selection of 12 that got smoked by him. Eager to see what the boy can do in the next several years. Chapeau.
