The Barry Wolfe Grand Prix women's pro 1-2,3 field was decorated on this Memorial Day weekend with the usual powerhouse suspects Lagrange, NOW and always amazing SC Velo/Empowered women on wheel teams. A sprinkle of sorry single but always a factor to be reckoned with riders from the always in the mix Dara Rogers, faster than fast Kendal Ryan and the light speed San Diego future Olympian Jennifer Valiente all out to race the day with their hearts! The spectators were in awe and the comments from the gallery was, "now that was a real race"" The suspense was always incredible with zero dull moments as numerous serious breaks going, forming, changing with everyone guessing as to who, what how the show would go down. We showed our strenght throughout the race. Thinking we were in good shape with Beatirice Rodriquez creating the break when we soon realized Kendal Ryan was so strong she was attacking the break and blowing up the break. We had to go to plan B so it was Katie Donovan to first make the bridge and when the final break with the changed players came to the final laps it included Lisa Cambell, Bonnie Breeze,Katie Donovan and Myself(Pam Schuster). As planned we kept the pressure on when Bonnie Breeze breaks away for the win with 2 to go only to be caught and Lisa Campbell counter attacking with one-half lap to go but with victory so close the eager sprinters were closing every move. When it came to the final turn it was the break attacking super star Kendall Ryan who arrived first. We raced with our hearts on the day, Barry was smiling from above as we pray many veterans were.
