Race #1

June 1st, 2003

Scott Hammack of Kansas State Cycling pulled of a coup by winning the 4/5 race and immediately jumping into the 3/4 to take 2nd. RCRC's Kurt Shelman used his aerobic ability to win the 3/4 race and take the Masters 40+ bonus. The 3/4 plus Masters Bonus race was the largest of the day. An aggressive Dean Parker placed 5th an won the Masters 50+ bonus. Perhaps the strongest rider was Team X's Steve Songer who faded the last two laps to finish 14th.

Brian Cahill of Dublin, Ireland showed the 4/5 men how to sprint up the hill to finish 2nd. Dan the Diesel Hughes placed a credible 5th. Climber Chris Hall struggled with his summer cold.

Lawrence's Philip Ciesielsiki enjoyed a strong finish placing 2nd in the Cat 5 race. Steve Wahke won the day's race.

The University of Kansas Duo of Jennifer Tiley and Jessica Drees won the top two spots on the podium. Glenda Taylor surely enjoyed the competition!

Steve Tilford and Bill Stotle demolished the field with their small break away. Andy Malcom dug deep to hold onto 3rd. Chris Tilford's antics up the Dragon's Back were as spectatcular as usual.

 

Youth Podium - Team X's Ryan Jackson ran away with the Youth race and Josh Wade finished a strong 2nd.

 

Junior Podium - Austin Fick won the Dragon's Back with Joeseph Schmalz within fighting distance. Adam Lang and Garrick Velocity paced themselves into 3rd and 4th.
