Cycling series resumes after rainout

One week after the second scheduled race in the 2006 Kentuckiana Spring Training Series was cancelled due to wet course conditions, the local cycling series resumed on Saturday with 2WheelSports' St. Peter’s Road Race in Elizabeth, Ind.

Louisville resident Kevin Attkisson (Texas Roadhouse) finished four laps around the 15.7-mile loop ahead of the field in the men’s 1/2/3 category and moved into first place in the series standings. He had been fifth in the first race, the L’Espirit Road Race on March 4, and has 37 points.

Grand Rapids, Mich., resident Graham Howard (Priority Health Club) was the runner-up and took over third place in the standings with 24 points - one point behind Clarksville, Ind., resident David Hauber (Team Barbasol/Rapid Transit), who had won the first race.

Briana Kovac (Texas Roadhouse), a former University of Indiana star from Indianapolis, and Louisville’s Tracy Huber (Texas Roadhouse) finished first and second, respectively, over two laps in the women’s category again and held their positions in the standings. Kovac leads with 50 points, and Huber is second with 40.
