We had 51 people doing 54 rides, which was down from 113 last year. The weather was cool, sunny, and 55 degrees with a NW wind between 12 and 23 mph. Therefore, it must have been the gas prices keeping people from traveling.

Despite having a windy day a new course record was set for the men with Bryce Mead from Jelly Belly coming down from Sterling, IL to set a blistering 25:18.42 with a speed of 29.47 mph and a pace of 2:02.2 min/mile, awesome job Bryce! Then he rode back to Sterling by bike! Paul Deninger held the previous course record at 26:13. The womens overall winner was Karen Stierler from Bike Tech coming over from Coralville, IA with a 31:29.81 and 23.67 mph, awesome job Karen!!
