Bike Club TT Recap

Results Posted on SkinnySki.com.

After 3 years of rain and cold, we finally got a sunny day for this event. The ESE winds were relatively light, and the times were fast.

According to my GPS, it was exactly 25.8 miles (41.52km). Timmer smoked the course and everyone else with a 55:36. Congrats Timmer, you earned it. He says the $200 is going for Tubulars. The top 5 were:

Tim Mulrooney - 55:36
Dan Casper - 56:48
Aric Hareland - 57:21
Gordy Paulson - 57:21
Curt Wood - 58:12

Linda Sone won the women's 40K in 1:08:32. Nice job Linda. Jordan won the Juniors < 15 by over 10 minutes in 41:55. Way to go buddy. He won a pair of Tifosi sunglasses from Now Sports for his effort.

After a couple of disappointments on the TT bike this year, I had a good ride. I ended up 6th overall in 58:21 and 1st in the Masters 35+. They paid the top 5 overall. I hate when that happens. My Masters 35+ teammates, Goblirsch, Rennert, and Baker ended up 8th, 9th, and 12th in our category. Nice work guys. Several other Loons rode well including Horrigan, Ludwigson, Hailstone, Lyner, Rotach, Frye, Loecken, Tegeder, Silbernick, Paidosh, and Xu.

Jordan won a pair of Castelli Ergo shorts & Jersey in the Raffle. Super Rookie won the Hed Bastone Wheelset, lucky bastard. Silbernick won a Shimano Wheelset for taking 5th from last in the women (I have the gift certificate Melinda). Diane Ostenso won a single speed bike. Congrats.

The free Brat, Chips, Beer, and Soda was a nice touch. The 40K results took forever to post, but it was a perfect day to sit outside and catch up with everyone. Jordan loves hanging with the bike crowd, especially Hollywood.

Unfortunately, there was an incident at the finish. I didn't witness it but it sounds like a young child stepped out in front of a women racer (Camilla from Birchwood), and they collided. I heard she was pretty banged up. I don't know about the child. Sorry, that's all I know.
