Gary Gellin sprints with Kevin Comerford (Phil Dubach) |
With perfect climbing weather, strangely pristine asphalt, and no issues with cars on the narrow road, Welch Creek road was a spectacular success.
There seemed to be that extra bit of happiness at the finish today, as riders knew they'd accomplished something notable in making it to the top of this climb. But that extra bit of happiness was evident in riders from Sisters and Misters of No Mercy, who showed absolutely none today in leading the men's (Brian Lucido) and women's (Janet Martinez) standings today. With Carl Nielson's assistance on the men's side, the team took control of the day's team ranking, and are now solidly in second place behind Western Wheelers.
Special thanks today for the fantastic volunteer crew who once again did a absolutely excellent job with results, but thanks as well go to the riders who came out and did so well against so challenging a climb.
