Report

It was a gorgeous opening day for Low-Key 2012!

After getting strung out on leaving Steven's Creek Reservoir, the group hit the base of Montebello in full force as a lead group soon formed. It was from this group that super-junior Adrien Costa of the Garmin development team made his move, soloing in for the win, coming oh-so-close to the Low-Key record of 25:32 set by Chris Phipps in 2010. Fellow junior 17-year-old Tim Aiken was second, with Rob Manchester the first of the oldies finishing a strong third. Lisa Penzel, riding this year for Team Brown Zone, was a solid first in the women's group with Lynn Sestak second and Helen Casabona third, while we had an excellent group of three tandems to open up the new tandem scoring division. And in Hybrid-Electric, Bill Bushnell set a new Low-Key record with his time of 17:24, beating his standing record of 18:10 from 2010.

In the all-important team contest, Brown Zone has taken a commanding lead over SJBC and Western Wheelers, with Google making a strong showing in fourth. Team "Pan y Agua" finished 6th: commentary on the Brown Zone refrigerator? And special note to the three-generation Team Colwell, which finished four riders, or five if you count the bear.

We had a super-crack group of well-drilled volunteers who really made things go smoothly today, with a special thanks to the results squad. With a start like today, you know it's going to be an excellent Low-Key season!
