The Junior Women's Road Race was the first race of the road racing section of the UCI World Road Racing Championships. The course featured some Belgium style cobble climbs, one up Libbie Hill to the top of Church Hill and the second even steeper one up 23rd Street back up to Church Hill again. The racing took in one more climb before the finishing line, but at least the asphalt was as smooth as silk by comparison. Emma White (Team USA) was the first to attack on the first lap up the much feared Libbie Hill. White had taken the Silver medal earlier in the week in her class's Individual Time Trial. I am elated to say that she garnered silver again at the finish line 7 laps later.
This is an original small watercolor and ink painting that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from
www.richesonart.com. These paintings are created live while watching the races through a feed provided by the Richmond 2015 Worlds organization. For two more days, you will be able to watch me create the works live at the Fanfest area at 5th and Marshall Streets near the finish line. You can also purchase either the originals or one of two different sizes of prints while you are there, or later at
www.richmond.com.
