We prepared to win the State RR in our meeting lead by Pam and that's what we DID!!! Every SC Velo rider on the course did their part to deliver Ruth to the finish line and this is how it played out:
Lap 1 - The attacks started very quickly with Bonnie and NOW rider up the road and when that came back, Pam was up the road with another NOW rider. Then Lisa went with NOW….followed by PC on a solo break. Bonnie attacks just as PC is being brought back into the pack so NOW, Bonnie and La Grange are up the road.

| Pam away with NOW rider |
 |
| Ruth capturing the "bear"! |
 |
| Dotsie taking the field sprint for 3rd with Bea and Pam following (4th and 5th) |
 |
| Lisa covering critical moves! |
Lap 2- Lisa attacks and Melina from La Grange follows, this break comes back and PC goes like “Hussein Bolt”, she holds it 2/3 up the climb where she decides to carve out a more difficult route to the top. The pack decides to play it safe and stay on course where Coryn Rivera attacks three times, Dotsie covers them all to then do her own attack towards the top of the climb. She gets caught on the decent. The group splits a bit on the decent where Lisa and Ruth stay back with La Grange while Pam and Bea get up the road in a small break. Lisa and Ruth let the La Grange girls' chase on and just as they catch the lead group ahead……… Ruth takes a flyer on the inside and gets up the road. Melinda from La Grange tries to catch on the train but chases to the finish line to capture 2nd. Meanwhile, in the pack the fireworks are ensuing with Kendall Ryan, Coryn Rivera and Julia from NOW shooting off the attacks. The TEAM covers them all which sets Dotsie up nicely to win the field sprint with Pam and Bea right behind.
What a day……
