For the second year in a row Beth Fisk won the women's pro-1-2 Air Force Academy Road Race on Sunday April 18 in Colorado Springs. After a cold, foggy and late start the race was underway. A break formed on the second lap when Fisk attacked on the start/finish hill. In the break was Fisk with Colavita Baci team member Susannah Gordon. Behind the break NGXP teammates Sharon Allpress and Renee Eastman were coving attacks and policing the chase group. Fisk and teammate Eastman emerged from the cold and fog of the spring morning to finish first and fourth for the Natural Grocers presented by XP Companies squad.
In other early season race news, new recruit Garrett Peltonen took out the win at the CSU oval criterium. Peltonen joined an early breakaway that stayed away the entire race. With the field closing in late in the race, Peltonen was able to hold on for the win.
