Hello all! Last night SKINourishment p/b Paceline Projects lined up for the start of Tour of America's Dairyland in Shorewood. Weather was perfect! So was the chocolate milk after the race. The stuff in between the pleasant staging atmosphere and the chocolate milk was a little rough. Or very rough. Literally. The racing was mellow, but the roads were horrific. There is one stretch in particular that hurts just to think about. The only smooth section is in the gutter. Literally you can catch air on parts of this course. No launching for me or Justine, but we did encounter some technical difficulties. I hit a pothole early on so hard its a wonder I didn't flat, but my position sure suffered as my bars dropped down. Made for a painful and somewhat unsettling race. We attempted to move around a bit in the race and had decent position with 3 laps to go, but couldn't make anything happen and was hurting too bad in the end. Justine and I rolled in, thankful to have stayed on our bikes and maybe a little mentally fatigued from that jarring course.
Tour of America's Dairyland continues today in East Troy. More updates coming soon!
SKINourishment p/b Paceline Projects focuses on the National Criterium Calendar and hopes to give aspiring riders the opportunity to gain experience and exposure at the professional level in the US.
