Lynn Wilson, Paul Fancher and Kurt Wilson went one-two-three in their respective races at the Joseph Sheehan Road Race on April 29th, while Rochelle Schleicher picked up another second place for the ladies in pink!

Lynn Wilson continued her winning ways with a first place in the Women’s Cat4 race. Said Lynn of her 50 miles in the rain,”Glenda (Taylor, of Free State Racing) and I stuck together. The rain was crazy, and I felt like my bike was floating over the road.” Lynn took the top spot in the 4’s in a race that lot of people were hoping wouldn’t go off. Torrential rains greeted all the participants before the start, but the wet stuff slowed long enough to get the racing underway.

Paul Fancher got his second 2nd place for the weekend in a tough Masters 50+ field, While Kurt Wilson rode aggressively in the Cat4 Men for third. “I had a couple of guys with me after the break and we got a pretty good lead over the pack,” said Kurt. “We kind of had a gentlemen’s agreement to work together, but at 1000 meters to go, it was game on.” Kurt came up just short of a top spot on the steep uphill finish.

Paul Aldeguer also had a strong showing in the Masters 40+ race with 5th, Schleicher was second in the Women’s Master 40+.

With crazy cold, and rainy conditions like these, it was a victory to just finish the race upright. Five other Big D riders did so, and represented their team well.
