August Race Update:

It has been a busy month for the team.

First, the team of Justin Andre, Andy Brown, Nathan Bush and Eddie Dimaguila traveled to Wausau, Wisconsin for the 24 hr. Nationals on August 2nd. They raced in the national class and had a respectable finish in 5th place. A special thanks needs to go out to Norm @ Synergy Broadband for helping out with the additional license fees required to race in the class.

Next up was a local race in Rockford Michigan, at the Pando Ski Resort. The team decided to try something different and did a "solo" race. Rob Elliott, Nathan Bush, Eddie Dimaguila, and Andy Brown all entered their respectable 6 hr. solo class. Nate and Jordan Elliott (Rob's kids), raced the 2 person 6 hr.

Andy = 1st (29 and under)
Nate = 2nd (30-39)
Eddie = 3rd (40-49)
Rob = 7th (30-39)
Nate Elliott & Jordan Elliott = 2nd

Next event will be the Hanson Hills Bike Festival in Grayling Michigan over Labor Day weekend to show off the Soul Cycles and do some bike demos.
