Bill Warburton and Spencer Bushnell grabbed some primes at the beautiful Twilight Crit in downtown Portland on Friday before Bill tried to lead out Spencer for the win on the last lap… Spencer, who had already gone down once, skipped a pedal on the last corner so Bill and he ended up 6th and 7th, respectively. It was a demanding course which made it very hard to move up and the rests were infrequent thanks to all the nice primes…

In the PRO race, Brant Buchholz hung with the leaders as they lapped the main field and battled away at ridiculous speeds for such a tight course. Therapeutic Associates, Inc. was a sponsor of the race and it was great to have our riders so well represented in both fields. Nice job to everyone who had the courage to race such a notoriously hard race!
