Hanford Criterium Race Report

From Ben Jacques-Maynes:

I participated in the hanford crit this last weekend, a local figure eight course that served as a last tune up for the opening NRC races next week.

The start was fast and I immediately made a break with my brother Andy, his teammate and defending champion ken Hanson, and symetrics strongman svein tuft. We rolled hard for about 45 minutes and when the late race attacks opened up we caught the third group with 2 laps to go. With 2 giant strawberry riders we were hard pressed to overcome their combined efforts, and a few heroes from the lapord group also confused things. In the end I battled through lapped traffic and came just short at the line for a second place finish.
