Team Kaos Riders Have Fun on Mountain BIkes

Team Kaos riders John Rokke, Kevin Limpach and Nate Lewis took advantage of our warm spring with a great time racing at Jewel Park the last weekend of March. The weather was ideal, the trails were in great condition and everyone had a ton of fun.  Rokke crashed once and lost a little bit of time but ended up 6th in the Cat 1s and Limpach was 5^th.  Nate Lewis rode great and ended up 2nd in Juniors

 The evening brought a short 20 minute fat tire criterium in Belllevue.  The pace started fast with Kevin Limpach covering some moves. Eventually 2 riders got up the road, and the chase group let them go as they kept an eye on each other, and the chase group came into the last lap together.   Limpach and Rokke attacked together on the last hill, but Limpach slipped a pedal and Rokke got caught.  Kevin Wilkins made a good move to get away from the other chasers, and Rokke rolled in 2nd in that group.  Limpach ended up 4th in the chase group, ending up 4th and Rokke 2nd overall in Cat 1 40-49.   Nate Lewis rode his first crit and despite being nervous ended up riding great and getting 5^th in the juniors.

Sunday was the Swanson Park cross country race. Rokke was unable to attend, but Limpach rode strong again to finish 4^th, not far behind Mark Savery, Kent McNeill, and Steven Jarrett.   Lewis rode great again too, grabbing 2^nd place among the juniors.

All in all it was a fun and satisfying weekend for our three Kaos riders.    Next up:  Twin Bing in Climbing Hill Iowa just south of Sioux City, Sunday April 15th.  It is a fun race on a hilly course.
