Liberty Classic

Hello all,

Juice Plus had four determined riders ready to battle the hard course, and the worlds best riders in the Liberty Classic "Philly". The team consisted of Holli, Rachel, and two guest riders: Amity, and Steph. Laura was sick, but still came to cheer us on, and Gina was not able to get away from her shift in the ER. Nonetheless, our team had a great race, and we finished it with all four starters! We all raced well, covered moves, battled for position, and finished with Steph 9th, Amity 35th, Holli 49th, and Rachel 58th. Steph would have won the U23 jersey, but only Americans were eligible for the prize. Amity stayed in the fount group the entire time, and was right there through to the end. Holli rode with pure class because she was coming down with respiratory infection which drained her of any energy. It was very impressive for her to finish, because the general rule of thumb for this race is you have to be in top form just to finish it. Hats off to Holli! I was sad to see Holli sick, but she wanted to battle to the end. So I lead out the sprint from our group, and she beat all the riders that were in our group. All in all it was a good race for Juice Plus, and we cannot wait until next year!

Thanks for reading,
Rachel
