Team Athens was quite busy this Memorial Day weekend bringing in some results.
A crew of Ben, Dale and Sean made the trip down to Thomas, WV to do the Tour of Tucker county. If you haven't seen the course profile, its pretty vicious. Ben finished 18th out of 33 in the the mens 1/2/3, Dale 33 out of 46 in the Mens 5, and Sean 10 out of 18 in Masters 40+ men.
Katsu spent over 1300 miles and 24 hours in a car this weekend racing in 3 states. First up on Saturday was the Tour de Frankenmuth in Frankenmuth, MI. An 80 mile road race that averaged 26 mph. Yes 26 mph, that is crit speed. With 10 off the front, KT took 7th in the field sprint for 17th overall in the Pro/1/2 field. Sunday it was down to Newmark criterium where KT found himself in the winning break of 8 late in the race. With 80 miles of racing in the legs, KT pulled off a nice 5th place finish. Sunday was more driving and down to Lexington, KY for the Bike Lexington Criterium. A nice 6 corner L-shaped course with a slight hill. A race dominated by Texas Roadhouse, the pace was always high with guys coming off the back every lap. When it came down to business, Roadhouse set up their leadout train and pushed the pace even faster. Sitting in a good position, KT just narrowly got into 5th position.

Just going around the web looking for posts about the Frankenmuth road race... A very long drive to Frankenmuth, he must have really wanted a road race on Saturday.
I did the 4s at that race but did a very bone headed move (I even knew better) and got dropped on the first lap...
