Elm
Creek mountain bike TT results:
After three consecutive rainouts, the absence of Mr. Smith
apparently kept the trail dry for the final Rott mountain bike time trial of
the year at Elm Creek. Although rain threatened, it was a wonderful
evening for biking. As the Dog’s lined up to weave their way through 12
miles of trees, grass and dirt, the excitement was palpable. Constant
Kate elected to ride the 8 mile loop, so The Only John, faced Nobody leading
the way, and Nobody following him. “Nobody was really looking strong at
the start line, but my legs felt good, so I liked my chances” stated Only
John. Waiting the requisite 1 minute, Only John, started out fast determined
to chase down Nobody. A few minutes later Kate also headed out also
chasing Nobody.
“My strategy was to stay ahead of Nobody and ride under
control through the bike grabbing trees in the Grizzlyland section of the
course and then hammer for home” stated Only John after the race. “That
strategy worked to perfection as I caught Nobody in the open area, and was able
to pull away from Nobody without even working hard. Nobody really gave it
a great effort, but I was just too strong tonight. It is sure a lot
more fun totally beating Nobody than getting thumped by John C in the TOM.”
Meanwhile, Kate was totally dominating her competition and
completely left Nobody in her dust. “I rode a smart race tonight, and was
able to catch and pass Nobody without any difficulty” reported a smiling Kate
after the race.
The final results were as follows:
8 mile course
Kate
55:30
10 points
Nobody else DNF
12 mile course:
Only
John
56:32
10 points
