Meadors, Ivan C

Thanks to Team Oregon for successfully putting on a NEW mid-week race.
The unfortunate fact that there were no hills on this 1.6 mile circuit was balanced-out by the significant head-wind and side-wind. This, plus the 180 degree turns, made for some interesting racing. The course and conditions allowed for potential break-away attempts, while supporting tactical team strategies while racing.

See you all next week!!
