The Action

The 1998 Low-Key Hillclimbs opened as they have traditionally closed, with a climb of the epic Mount Hamilton Road. And what a dramatic opening: David Wyandt of Palo Alto Bikes/Specialized blitzed the climb with a time of just over 1 hour 10 minutes. On the women's side, Cornelia Fletcher of JAH LOVE/Menlo Velo took the women's category by more than 11 minutes over Phyllis Orlich of Alto Velo/MCR. In the Low-Key spirit, four mixed tandems, a recumbent, and a tricycle also completed the brutally long climb.

Thanks to coordinator Kevin Winterfield, with help from Mike Buchanan, Tracy Colwell, Gary Czeropski, and Todd Studenicka for making today's climb possible!
