Report

This week, over 100 cyclists and 1 runner converged in Fremont for a LKHC first: Mill Creek Road. This road runs in parallel to the hiking trail heading up to Mission Peak, selfie-central of the Bay Area.

Due to the narrowness of the road, this week's format was individual time trial. We had some smoking times on the climb. Ten of the men shattered the previous Strava KOM scores. Leading the charge was veteran national master time trial medalist Kevin Metcalfe. Only 10 seconds back was Carl Nielsen followed closely by Stefano Profumo.

Three gals also smashed the prior Strava QOM. Amy Cameron led the pack, followed by Lisa Penzel (this week on a bike) and MIT cyclist Shaena Berlin.

Two tandems tackled the climb: The Von Kaenels and Ella and her captain/father who often mountain bike together. Rock on, Ella!

There are lots of backstories at the LKHC. One of today's was John L, Susan Breslin, Sandra King, and Sandra's sister climbing today's climb in honor of Mark King who is in the hospital. Mark had pre-ridden the climb a few months back on his fixed gear bike. We missed you today, Mark.

Today's leading team was Stanford and Sons, followed by Sisters and Misters in second and Team Low Key in third. LGBRC continues to dominate the mega team category.

Special thanks to our crack results team for getting the results done so quickly!

Volunteer Sindy Cho, after starting riders all day, rode a 25:16 without warm-up.
