Garret Lemire Memorial GP- LVG Wins!

Laura Van Gilder wins, Mackenzie D 2nd (Colavita), Nicky Wangsgard 3rd (Bicycle Johns)

Kelly, um, daintily tresspassed to complete this easter picture. Ojai has some characters.
Sometimes you get to stay in a host's house that is soooo relaxing that racing your bike just doesn't seem to make sense. Wanda and Kurtis Sakai cooked us up a breakfast of champions.
The backyard was amazing at their house, we even had a "meeting" in the hot tub with beer and pizza, post race of course.
Helga, the most docile guinea pig I have ever met, reminded me that just because you pet someone and think you are friends, they may still pee on you.

Indio- too hot, too hot!!

Laura Van Gilder wins, Brook Miller 2nd, Brenda Lyons 3rd. It was 95 degrees.
Podium girls waiting for Podium women. Short short tall.

We won the race, won Team Classification, 2 of 3 Sprints and some art. That's some cash.
14 yr old Coryn Rivera shot sideways out of the charging 3-4 field to take 2nd place (far left). This tenacious teenager also raced the 1,2,3 race later in the day to a top 20, and then had a great showing at Ojai the next day to attack at one point, and place 11th in the 1-3 field.
Mike and Kim were exceptional hosts. Mike escorted us to the course like a true VIP.
What team IS this guy on?
