Cherokee County, GA 6/5, Road Race
The PedalRight team raced the Cherokee County road races, with Cheryl, Colleen and Jennie (1st race as a Cat 2) taking the start in the Pro 1/2 race, and Janice and Susan competing in the Cat 4 race. The Pro 1/2 race was three laps of the course, which "featured" two tough climbs, including the infamous Woodmont hill. Ultimately, Colleen utilized her great climbing form to break away with Kitty Wickes of AtlRoof.com holding on, and was able to outsprint her for the win, with Cheryl taking 4th after doing a lot of work all morning. The Cat 4 race was during the worst heat of the day, and was 2 laps of the 16-mile course. Susan utilized her triathlon time trial skills to ride away from the group early and soloed to the win, ahead of a lone chase more than 5 minutes back! Meanwhile, Janice was working hard to bridge up to 3rd, but eventually finished 4th in the field of 12, a solid showing after her tough crash in Elberton. Another big day of racing as the team took 1st and 4th in both races!!

Elberton, GA 5/22 - 5/23, TT, Pro 1-4 Criterium, Pro 1-4 Road Race
The PedalRight team traveled to beautiful Elberton, Georgia, the self- proclaimed "granite Capitol of the world" for a weekend of racing, with a time trial, crit and road race. In the morning TT, Cheryl won the event, with Jennie putting in a strong Top-10 effort. The crit was on a tight, flat course that featured a full 90-degree turn. Cheryl, Colleen, Jennie, Janice and Gillis all raced the the event, which also featured two prior winners of the Athens Twilight crit, as well as members of Team Type 1. Cheryl stayed near the front all race, but Colleen slid out on the difficult 90-degree turn. She got up, re-entered the race and drove the pace up from the front for about 7 laps. Once the sprint began, Cheryl held off Morgan Patton of TT1 for 2nd. Colleen took 4th in a very strong field. On Sunday, the team rolled up for the road race, a pretty circuit around Lake Richard Russell. Unfortunately Janice had a bad crash when another racer didn't hold her line. Still, she got up and finished the race. Meanwhile, Colleen got away with Rebecca Larson in a break, taking 2nd in their sprint, and Cheryl took the bunch sprint for 3rd. Another great weekend, with 4 more podiums for the team.
