Cherry Pie Criterium by Holly

Fun course, fast competition, 45 minutes of hard racing! Quite a few breakaway attempts, but nothing stuck—the competitive racers weren’t about to let anything escape for long. With a large contingent of riders, Colavita raced aggressively and kept things interesting. Although Colavita was the largest team, the field responded hard—especially the Cheerwine and Value Act women. I just tried to stay out of the wind as much as possible, saving what I could for the finish. In the end, Brooke Miller took the race with a super fast and long sprint, uphill into a headwind. I finished mid pack, leaving plenty of room for improvement as the season continues!
