The rest of the team were heading up To the Cascade Classic on Bend, Oregon. The race started out mellow as usual, with a few breaks by Webcor and Colavita. It came down to a final sprint with Karen coming in 3rd and Beatriz 4th.

The La Grange elite team were generally unhappy with their results from this race. Although they were in just about every break during the race, things just didn't work out in the end. Raul Frias was the top finisher in 22nd, after a 7th place in an earlier race. The La Grange team got mentioned in Velonews' coverage and are included some photos too..

It was a special treat at Manhattan Beach when the entire Women's team showed up to race. Several riders attempted breaks but it all came down to a sprint finish, which was won by former La Granger, Coryn Rivera. Amy Hutner had a little crash on the last lap. She bruised her shin but she still managed to finish with a smile.
