A Breeze Bars racing update


Not a huge weekend of racing the Breeze Bars squad, but we had some people out on the roads this weekend. Sunshine Hill Climb and Deer Trail Road Race saw our cyclists out in battle and in Europe, Mara Abbott is racing the Tour D'Aude this week.

Mara scored a huge win today in the Tour D'Aude. She broke away with teammate Evelyn Stevens and Emma Pooley. Mara and Emma came to the line together and Mara put in the kick and won the stage for the US national composite team. A great return to European racing for Mara.

At Sunshine Hill Climb Allen Krughoff and Scott Tietzel lined up in a stacked pro field. Scott's goal was to be on the podium for a third straight year and he succeeded. Scott was just pipped at the line for the win, but scored his best finish yet with a second place. Allen was not in his element on the big climb but had a solid race to 18th.

Sunday saw a windy Deer Trail. Allen was 10th, Scott 15th in the pro 1/2 race and Breeze Bars' own Grant Holicky was 14th in the men's 35+ race.

This weekend is a big one. Flora Duffy returns to racing and mara continues to stage hunt in Tour D'Aude.
