Week 1 - Montebello
Main Album (please share your photos if you have them)
It was a picture perfect day on Saturday: mild and sunny, probably the best I've experienced at Montebello! We had over 130 riders participate for this week. While warming up, I watched an utterly massive Alto Velo B group flying by in the other direction. What a turnout! They undoubtedly caused some confusion with the mass start, and some unknowing riders probably hopped onto that group. I arrived back near the start of the climb around 10am and was met by only one other rider by the time the start was planned at 10:10. Oh well!
On the women's side, it looks like Louise Thomas had a huge improvement over her last year's time to take the top spot, while Kayla Regulski and Steph Hart were separated by a single second to round out the top 3!!
Meanwhile for the men, Erik Levinsohn knocked off another few seconds off his own KOM, and him and Andrew Ernst distanced the rest of the group by over a minute. It pays to work together! Jurd Hurd got himself a strong third.
