Finchford Roubiax

This past weekend, a few of us raced at Finchford Roubaix over by Cedar Falls...Tracy, Finn, Will, Sean, Bryan, and Lee (not pictured).
The race was on a 5 mile loop for a total of 50 miles. The race started out pretty fast with lots of attacks going.Eventually on the 3rd lap, Bryan went on the attack after one of Sean's attacks was brought back in. Only Clark Priebe, Jarod Osterloh (All 9 Yards) and Paul Deninger (Zoom) went with and that was pretty much the break that would stay away.

Then with about a lap and a half to go, Sean bridged up solo! With two B2U/WOB guys in the group of 5, the attacks started coming from the other 3 riders. Bryan and Sean managed to follow the attacks and eventually Bryan launched off and only Priebe came with about 6 miles to the finish. With Sean sitting on Jarod and Paul's wheel, Bryan and Clark started working together and were able to stick the break.

In the end, Priebe had a little bit more left so Bryan rolled in taking 2nd place. Then in the next group, Sean (after bridging up solo the previous lap) came in for 4th place just behind Jarod.

Overall a great race for the team with two B2U/WOB riders landing in the top 5.
