Team Kaos starts out the year with a bang

Team Kaos has had a great beginning to 2013, with podium wins at Tour de Husker, Twin Bing and the Chris Lillig Memorial Cup among others.  One of our new riders is Lee Bumgarner (Category 2).  So far he has been winning almost every race he has entered.  Last weekend he won the Iowa City Road Race with a broken spoke that caused his brakes to rub for the last part of the race.  In the criterium Bumgarner and his teammates put on a display of textbook teamwork, as Joe McWilliams, Jordan Ross, and Chris Spence repeatedly attacked or answered attacks.  Bumgarner stayed towards the front but was protected by his teammates.  Then at the last few hundred meters he showed his power by easily sprinting to a win.  Other winners for the weekend were Rich Pearson (Masters 60+) and Suzanne Wilson (Women Masters 35+).  Team Kaos was also the top team in points for the weekend.
