Race the Ridge Success for BPR

The team made their way to the coast for the annual Race the Ridge this past weekend.

Top honours go out to Ginny Sellars, who dominated the Cat 3/4 Women - winning the road race and TT, and missing out in a sprint for the crit. Steve Ushy put in a solid effort - crashing in the road race bridging up to the lead group he was able to hang on in the main group to stay in contention. A solid TT and crit put him in 4th for the Cat 3/4 Men. Matt Ewonus was there in support of Steve - with some minor stomach issues, Matt hung in there for 19th Overall! Way to tough it out Matt. Finally - Jen Schulz was racing Cat 1/2 Women - finishing in the pack on the road race - surviving through some difficult times - showing improvement in her TT performance, and hanging in there for the Crit, Jen came in 9th Overall.

Congrats to the cyclists - constant improvements being made!!
