Team Delphine cyclists enjoyed racing on their home blacktop last weekend (July 25-26) as local Bozeman teams hosted a time trial, sprints, and road race at the inaugural Tour de Bozeman (The Last Best Bike Race) 3 stage omnium. It was great to see the team tent overflowing with TD members, and the event staging areas overflowing with racers from MT and several other states!
Positive comments were heard during the weekend, signaling the overall success of the event. All the organizers and volunteers deserve a big “Thank you!” for their efforts.
