Our First King of the Mountain is Crowned!

Chris Donahue dominated the first event in our King of the Mountain series! Although the ride was cut short (by unanimous decision), Chris rode away to victory on Warwick Turnpike and crushed everyone on the Mt. Peter climb - even beating one of our racers by a little more than a minute!

Steve Boshart and Gerald Hawkins battled for second on Warwick Turnpike but Gerald beat Steve by the width of a tire. Refusing to go down without a fight, Boshart came back on the Mount Peter climb to take a commanding second place.

Our only Mother on the ride, Angela Barrett, hung with the boys all day and showed everyone how to bomb down hills at 40 plus MPH - even dodging disaster when a car pulled out on our way down to Rt. 94 and opted to drive at about 10 MPH. With catlike reflexes she passed them as if they were standing still. Go Angela!

The lone team racer, BJ Kisch, had a good showing getting to the top of Warwick Tunpike in the lead. He chased Angela down on the descent, also dodging slow autos. Then Donohue crushed him on the Mount Peter climb. He gave it everything but timed his kick too late to gain any ground on the well-paced and consistent Donohue.
