Saturday saw riders head off on their respective races under threatening skies. The majority of Red Jacket - BlueSky Health riders opted for the 35 mile citizen race. Seven Red Jackets worked together in the men's race, and were a force to be reckoned with: Hamlin, Szubielak, Carpenter, Hackney, Lehto, Bialas and Pletka worked together throughout the race. In the end, it was James Bialas who led the team with a 6th place finish, edging teammates Pat Subielak (7th) and Brett Hamlin (10th). Lehto (14), Pletka (16), Hackney (17) and Carpenter (18) can all be pleased with their performance.

Tammi Lehto, racing in the women's 35 mile race escaped in a quartet early on in the race. Though one of the strongest in her group, her prospects for a victory were dashed when heavy rain began to fall and the Red Jacket rider opted for safety as the breakaway descended down Marquette Mountain and she let the riders in the break roll away. Nevertheless, Lehto held off the field on her own and finished fourth.

Racing in the 55 mile Cat V race were Red Jacket John Gershenson and two Dorfblick riders, Joda and Smith. Succumbing to knee pains midway through the contest, Gershenson became separated from the main field and comleted the race on his own.
