After a successful collegiate season racing for the Colorado School of Mines Zak Grabowski lined up on Saturday for the first team with his THF Realty Cycling teammates Brent Hanlin and Dan Schmatz  at the Wheels of Thunder criterium in Denver.  In typical fashion the attacks started early and didn’t stop till the end. About 20 minutes in Zak bridged across to a small group which later grew to about ten riders. After splitting the group with about 7 laps to go Zak had it down to three and started setting up for his final move which came at one lap to go. As the three  made the turn after the start finish Zak put in a dig which got him about 15 seconds that he held to the line for the victory.
