In the women's road race, we were subjected to several attacks on the second lap by a veritable opponent, Debbie Milne. Later on in the 2nd lap, Debbie was sidelined with derailleur problems, and a group of six determined women (three BooKoos included - Elizabeth, Stacey and Beth) worked together until ending in a sprint finish.

The women's crit started out fast and furious, and a breakaway group of three (including Elizabeth) lapped the main field later in the race. At the end, everyone powered through the uphill sprint finish, with Elizabeth clinching third place.
