Levi / Trow 100 - Hatfield, WI
Race Report
Team Vesrah Brakes at Levi / Trow 100
What a beautiful weekend for the Team Vesrah Brakes family. There was absolutely nothing that could dampen our spirits. There was camping through a full night of rain, but the family returned that soaking with nothing but smiles and some blanket drying. The race course was spectacular, with awesome fast descents, little bit of sand, very technical climbs, and awesome views of landscape.
Team Vesrah Brakes finished the day up third after a hard fought day of racing. The race started off as usual. Ken Melville started again and brought Team Vesarah Brakes in at the top of the leader board. Mike Laney rode next and managed to keep the race close by following Chris Shotz. Michael Peet next to ride had a crash on one of the slippery but fun bridges, and also flatted somewhere out on the course, but this did not stop Team Vesrah Brakes progress. Even with some miscues Mike Peet came in with a respectable time. Mark McCrimmon next to ride pulled some distance back on the leaders. Ken Melville on his second lap put together fast lap to gain time. Mike Laney out on his second lap held our position even after the pain set in. Mike Peets second lap went much better, and kept third place in sight. Mike Peet was able to hand the duties to Mark McCrimmon with only a two minute and thirty second deficit to make up to take third. There is always drama in the camp. Mark was able to make up that time quickly and made the pass for third about thirteen minutes into the lap. Mark then was able to enjoy the rest of his lap making sure no technical miscues would put Team Vesrah Brakes out of the race. So again after a beautiful day with the families Team Vesrah Brakes finishes third.
The day was truly made when the Team Vesrah Brakes kids totally dominated the kids races. Every Team Vesrah Brakes kid walked away with a medal, as well as all the other competitors. Jason the event organizer along with the rest of the volunteers really went out of their way to make it a great weekend for everyone at the event.

averaging approx ? mph.
