Emily's Punk Periodical~


Why I love to Mountain Bike:

  1. 1. When I fall, it doesn’t hurt like concrete
  2. 2. My bike is called a “Yo Eddy”
  3. 3. I don’t fear getting hit by a car…just getting poison ivy.
  4. 4. I can play on the trails for hours and never get bored
  5. 5. I can now successfully clear a (small) log without hitting it
  6. Squirrel
  7. The little dirt ramp in Denmans
  8. I can get lost in the mountains in Colorado
  9. Cam
  10. When my bike is dirty, it looks tough…not just dirty

So, don't forget to join me at 5:30 on Mondays at Ashworth Pool!

PRC Wins the Iowa State Championship Criterium~


PRC's Sara, Keely and Kelli showed up to race the Iowa State Championship Criterium in Cedar Rapids this past Sunday and brought home three medals!
Sara started us off in the women's Category 4 race where she worked hard the whole race, raced smart and had a great finish to win the field sprint pack of 8 women. Congrats to Sara for winning the Women's Cat 4 State Crit gold medal! We know Sara's been sleeping with a smile since. :) It was SOOO exciting to watch Sara's first victory!!
Ten women took the line for the women's cat 1/2/3 race. The field stayed pretty tight until a six women break with 5 laps remaining. PRC's Kelli Mente made the fast break and took 3rd place in the final sprint. Unfortunately Keely didn't make the break but she still took 7th place overall.
Only Iowa licensed riders are eligible for the state champ medals so with the race winner from New Zealand and 2nd, 4th and 5th places all from Wisconsin, this meant PRC's Kelli Mente in 3rd brought home the gold Iowa State Championship Criterium medal for the second year in a row. Kim Eppen from Mercy took 6th place which gave her the silver state championship medal and then our own Keely Shannon received the bronze medal. We had great competition. Super cool!
Congrats to our PRC teammates for their hard fought medals and for another successful weekend of racing!!


BUMMER...~


No Monday MTB Ride.
The rain from the weekend has left the trails too muddy and wet.
Sadness sets amongst us all.


Iowa State Championship Criterium~


The Iowa State Championship Criterium takes place THIS SUNDAY in downtown Cedar Rapids. The course is flat, .6 mile in length per lap with 4 left hand corners and crossing 4 bridges per lap. Crazy.

Several of our women from PRC are making the road trip. Our awesome Category 4 women will be racing at 11:30am with our Category 3 riders ripping up the course at 1:15pm. GO PRC!

There's racing from 9am til 4pm so stop by if you're in the area!
