Memorial Day Races

What a great weekend of racing. 4 days of racing with some great results turned in by Team DICE. By my count I have 61 DICE race entries. If I missed anyone please let me know.

It was really cool to hear about DICE driving the train from Wapello to Burlington and seeing DICE in the lead coming over the crest into Burlington.

Seeing my son Bryan lead the charge up Snake Alley on multiple laps, and then pulling out a 1st place finish.

Watching Dice taking charge in Muscatine and not letting up the pace.

Seeing different racers take the lead in their races in Rock Island.

Congratulations to all!!!
You guys ROCK!

Full Rock Island race results are available at quadcitiescriterium.com.

I posted some pictures on Bryan's website.
