The Boulder-Roubaix Road Race was a little more realistic than
usual this year due to the 38F temperature and falling snow.
Rishi Grewal won the Pro-1-2-3 race by dropping his three
breakaway companions with two laps to go and went on to win
by over four minites. The race was held on an eight mile circuit,
80% of which is dirt. No cobbles, but plenty of Boulder County
washboard.

Bob Bieterman fulfilled his great promise, breaking away on
the fourth of five laps with his humble domestique Bret Wade.
Also known as "Bobolini" to those that have seen him sprint,
"Bobio" to those that have seen his new haircut, and "Shaver"
to those that have noted his rapid transition from the mountain
circuit to the road, Bieterman won his first ever road race
with a dominant style seldom witnessed on the Colorado Master's
Circuit.
