The bar has been raised for my house guests. I have had a number of guests to stay at my house so far this year, but none that have brought home the hardware like this. This past week my friends, Tiffany, Nicki, Jenna and Steve stayed with me. The reason, the International Cycling Classic. A series of bike races in Wisconsin and Illinois. Tiffany and Nicki participated in the Women's Professional category. And I am happy to announce that following their final race they walked away with the two top prizes in the event.
Nicki won the overall race series. She had the Yellow Jersey from race one. In fact she won the first two races outright and then continued to pile up over points over the next 7 races. It also makes the 3rd straight year she has won the overall title in the International Cycling Classic.
Not to be out done, Tiffany won the Sprint series (Red Jersey). Just like Nicki, Tiffany got out to a quick start winning 5 of the 6 first Sprint Laps in the 1st two races, and wore the Red Jersey from race number one through race number 9. Tiffany even capped off the event by taking first place in the final race on Sunday. Congratulations girls and I hope you come back next year.
