Cable and Afton FUN weekend!!



Way to go Lonie and Kevin.  Great race at Afton!


Lonie and me after the Cable Classic!  I was happy to see that I still have on my pink lipstick!  HA!


 Congrats Sara Kylander-Johnson for winning the Cable Classic again!  Good race Diana McFadden too.  I was happy to race for 3rd!
My daughter I will never have Kera Fitzgerald!



Lonie and I had a super weekend of racing.  After work Friday we drove to Cable, Wisconsin.  We met up with our dear friend Brendan and new friend Bob.  Bob was nice enough to let us stay at his cabin on Lake Owen.  Lonie and I arrived at the cabin around 7:30 pm and then went for a little spin on the bikes.  Bob then took us out for a boat ride on the cleanest lake in Wisconsin.  We saw a loon up close and 5 bald eagles.  We ate a great dinner cooked by Brendan and got to bed!

The Cable Classic is a mix of fire roads and rocky single track.  Lonie and I rode to Lakewoods for the start.  Lonie had a great race and had his best finish at the Cable Classic.  I had a fun race too and placed 3rd among the women.

After the race, we rode back to the cabin and headed home.  We then decided to race at Afton on Sunday.  I was surprised at the great turnout for the race!  Lonie won his age group and I placed 2nd.  Great race by all!

Special thanks for Leopard Cycles, Bicycle Fit Guru, CycleOps, LCR, and Janky Cycles for your help and support!

Next up............ Buck Hill tonight and WORS Race on June 3rd in Wausau!
