Michigan Race Results

Congrats to the team on another strong outing with 9 members making the trek up to Michigan State and University of Michigan this weekend. Waylon jumped in a break early on in the Men's A road race and ended up hanging on for 6th. Chicago schools oddly made up more than half of the cat D field with Bryce, Mark, Ian (in his first collegiate race), Peter (first race), Fred, Jesse and Dan toeing the line as an imposing-looking contingent in their snazzy IIT kits. Seriously, seeing the 7 guys together on the line was awesome, we need to keep this team expansion thing up! They did well this morning in the crit with Dan taking 3rd place at the finish as well as a few points in the last prime on his steel-frame-down-tube-shifting bike, and Jesse rolled in for a top 15 as well. Elena, continued her streak of top 15 finishes in the crits as well.

Full race reports to come. (if they want their race-fees reimbursed!)

Oh yeah, and remember that race a few of your team-mates did last weekend on the dirt roads and through the covered bridges in NY last weekend?

I heard some guy named Landis did pretty well. http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-of-the-battenkill-1-2/results
