Curciut racing in Dubuque - Eagle Point

-This isn't Eagle Point-

The closed 1 mile Circuit in the beautiful Dubuque Park is probably a lot more fun than what these guys are doing.

Richard, Landon and I drove thru very heavy fog for the 50+ 9:00 oooold guys race. I believe there were 13 of us at the start line and when it was over fast guy Tom Eaton took the group sprint going away. We were more than happy with our 4, 5, and 7^th place finishes. Richard was a wild man out there today – he was all over the place – animating many fine moves.

After an hour break the three of us decided to race the 40+ - why not we drove over 100 miles and it is one of the best venues we race on all season. But, apparently we were too tired and in way over our heads. The main group shot of the line like a bullet and 6 of us were left with our pants down – never to make the bridge. All I can say is that we had a very good workout. I was disappointed that the three of us didn’t take the opportunity to works some tactics on the two guys we were riding with. Attack, counter attack, attack, count… We weren’t going to have much fun racing for 14^th place, but we could have had some great fun working some team tactics.

Our very fast Kevin Temple and our good friend Karen S. were also at the races, but they are going to have to report on their events – I had to get home for 2:00 work.

Iowa City next week end. Road Race on Sat. and the nearly famous Old Capital Crit on Sunday. This is a good time racing and watching.
