Report

Another beautiful weekend in the books. And yet again, depenging on which day you chose to ride, you may have seen drastically different weather! Beautiful, late summer weather on Friday/Saturday yielded to constant rain Sunday (though I also saw photos of some incredible rainbows at the top).

Alto Velo brought their A game (and their B game!) with both of their club rides heading out to do the climb. That's some serious firepower.

Andrew Ernst made himself heard, just beating out Grant Miller up the climb, and Julien Amblard also came away with a very impressive time under 30 minutes.

Louise Thomas and Robin Betz had a showdown, with Louise just edging out Robin this time around. Lily Sanders continues to consistently put up impressive times and maintains her 3rd place overall standing.

To date we have had a whopping 165 riders complete at least one week. Let's keep it up!
