Another gorgeous day was in store for Low-Key, as we revisited a favorite from Low-Key 1.0, Quimby Road. We did this climb in 1995, 1996, and 1998, so it was like visiting an old friend as we gathered at the Evergreen Valley High School near Ruby Road. Unfortunately, sprawl's toll moved our start-line further up the hill, but that just meant the quality came quicker. Notable on the day: Gary Gelman, an exceptional rider as well, showed why he's been so successful in trail runs this year by blitzing the climb, on foot, running better than 8-minute miles. Gary finished ahead of all but 19 of the riders today. Further up the road, was the first men's finisher, while was the first women's finisher on the day. That last section of Quimby is a tough one, as more than one rider commented. A really wonderful hill, one worth revisiting.
Thanks to coordinator Pat Parseghian, with help from Brenda Brunner, Barry Burr, Josh Hadley, Christine Holmes, Janet LaFleur, Lucia Mokres, and Adam Tow for making today's climb possible!median time = 27:55
