Today kicked off the criterium racing season in the valley. The juniors race was first off - bright and early at 7:30am. We had 3 riders out today for the juniors 9-12...Barrett, Liam, and Emma. After some warm-up laps - which in the chilly morning air was needed - they were off! The pack stayed close together for the first 2/3 of the race. Liam was out front with Luke, who was riding in the category just above his. Barrett was locked in a tight battle for 2nd with 2 other riders. Emma, riding unopposed, stayed with the juniors boys for most of the race. After 10 laps, Liam broke away from Luke and kept the lead to the finish. Barrett came in strong just missing the podium in a solid 4th place for his first ever road race. Emma also came in solid finishing ahead of some of the boys field. It was another great race. These kids are getting fast!!
