Sun Devil Criterium

The Dynamix crew was up bright and early at the Sun Devil Criterium in Tempe.  The venue was ASU campus, racing around the iconic Gammage Auditorium.  The juniors went off at 7:15am.  Racing for the team were Emma (junior girls 9-10), Barrett (junior boys 9-10), and Liam (junior boys 11-12).  The all had excellent starts, and all 3 came in for the win!  This was Barrett's 1st crit win of the season.  They got to celebrate on the podium by spraying sparkling cider at the crowd.  It was a very fun and memorable event!

It was a large juniors field at the Sun Devil Criterium!
Emma - Junior girls 9-10 winner
Barrett - Junior boys 9-10 winner

Liam - Junior boys 11-12 winner

After the race, we grabbed some breakfast and then headed up to South Mountain to tackle the Summit Road - a 15 mile+ ride with 1600+ft of climbing.  All 3 made it to the top at a pretty brisk pace!  This was Barrett's first time, and he killed it!  After racing early in the morning AND climbing to the top of South Mountain, they were all smiles and loving life!  Their dedication and enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring.  These kids ROCK!!!
