At the “definitely not a race” Bike City Fondo, Curtis Grace made the early break up the first of many climbs on the 105 Mile course. The six man break stayed away for 80 miles and worked collaboratively to stay together and stay ahead. Curtis finished 2nd after the break shattered in the last few miles.
Jared Neufer, Matt Pryzbysz and Justin Crawley traveled to Tulsa on a weeknight to take part in the USAC Sanctioned Osage Gran Prix. Jared made the early break and survived to the end to take the first road race Win of the season for Natural State Racing. Justin Crawley put down a selfless leadout for Matt, who won the field sprint.
