Travis Fender wins the omnium, Mike Jackson second in the RR.

6/7/08

Last weekend the Settler’s Life Bristol Omnium took place in Eastern TN.  Heading up this year for BioWheels were: Mike Jackson, Mike Small, Travis Fender, and Nicole Crane.  In the road race up Roan Mountain Mike Small was able to help Mike Jackson take second place in the 40+Masters catagory.  This is Mike J’s biggest result so far, and he was very happy.  Nicole Crane made a return to competition to finish mid-field in the women’s race.  Travis Fender settled for 4th in the cat.4 race.  He was also thinking about the overall and was the only one competing in the entire omnium.

Later on Saturday Travis rode a fast TT/Prologue to take second place.  He was now looking forward to the crit. on Sunday.  In the crit. he rode smart and made sure he beat the few guys he had to, and took the overall.  This is Travis’s best event so far and hopefully he will move up to the cat.3 ranks soon!
