MELON CITY CRIT

Muscatine Iowa hosts the third race of the Memorial Day Week End Races.
It is more of a circuit race - in the beautiful Weed Park.
The fields are big and very fast.

The field is narrowed down to 6 going thur this hair pin curve

John in the old guys race in the same corner
I spent the entire race marking the Mack guy - in blue and red
he was riding well and I could match his every move without too much difficulty.
Going into the sprint I had him where I wanted and I was feeling a win coming on.
HERE COMES THE SAD PART
In the last 100 yards the guy behind me in white and green went fling by
and I didn't have enough road left to catch him - I was closing!!!!

This is how it ended up

Our best race of the day belonged to Mike Johnson
Spend a lot of the day toward the end of his 100 plus pack.
And with about four laps to go he started moving up.
He felt good and confident
and ended up in 5th place in his group.
The first Iowan

A happy boy and his partner

Here goes Richard into the hair pin
