Grumpy’s/LGR Riders Continue To Make Themselves At Home On Podium!
Jun 09, 2008 in Uncategorized
Over the past week Jake Helmbrecht, who recently upgraded to Category 3 after winning the Category 4 race at the Duluth Classic, has placed 2nd in both the Freewheel Bike State Fair Affair and in the State Championship TT. Both of these races were the first events that Helmbrecht has contested in the Category 3s and he has quickly become a rider to watch on the local racing scene.
Meanwhile on the dirt, Margaret Montgomery placed 3rd overall and first in the singlespeed category at the Wooly mountain bike race outside of Osceola, Wisconsin. This was just Margaret’s second mountain bike race and she has found some form that has impressed many top mountain bike racers.
Another top result from the past week includes Jason Prudhom’s 4th place overall at the Wooly race and first for singlespeed. Finally, it should be noted that Linsey”Lindzilla”Hamilton just finished competing at the National level Minnesota Fixed Gear Classic at the Blaine Velodrome. Lining up against the fastest women to ever compete at the Velodrome was quite a daunting task for Hamilton, but she was able to hold her own and found herself gaining valuable experience for future competitions.
