Marty McKeon - Green Mountain Cyclery took 1st Place Sport Men Senior1. Marty said he felt strong the whole race and just kept a steady, winning pace. He thanked Matt Thompson - Wooden Wheels for a "competitive race" so I assume they rode together for most of the race. 2nd Place was Kyle Gery and 3rd was Charles Goss.

Tammy Coleman - Gung Ho Bikes won the Sport Women 34 &under. After crashing into a tree and bending her brake lever, Tammy was able to clean the last rocky singletrack section into the finish. Looks like her broken foot last year hasn't slowed her down but made her faster. 2nd Place Amy Breyla - Bike Line has been training hard this year and although her fitness is no where near peaking she has shown that she is more than ready for this season. 3rd Place Lori Wagner - Team Harrisburg must be in good shape as she looked full of energy and able to carry on a short conversation while riding (not walking) the last rocky section of singletrack.

Susan Draino won 1st Place Sport Women 35+. 2nd Place Claire Hayes - Bike Line who is a busy mom and also has a full time job had never seen the course before race day. No need to pre-ride for her as she too was riding and talking during the last rocky section of singletrack. Gwen Livingston - Wooden Wheels must have found enough time to train this early in the season as she placed a respectable third.

Matt Thompson - Wooden Wheels showed he has what it takes winning 1st Place Sport Men Senior2. Joel Hoerni - Cycle Works placed second and John Ayre third. Robert Lyon - First Capitol Velo won 1st Place Sport Men Vet1. He ran a smooth race taking his current fitness to just the right level, avoiding leg craps near the finish of the race. Judd Kulas placed second and Gordon Davies third. Donald Pagano Jr. - Yellow Breeches Racing won the Sport Men Vet2 race. David Lowe placed second and Bryan Habertstroh third. Taylor McCain - Yellow Breeches Racing won the Sport Junior Men race with Alex Horwath - Valley Mountain Bikers placing 2nd and Denny Reel third.

Steve Heede - First Capital Velo won first place in the Sport Men Master1 race. John Williams placed second and George Rhodes - Rhodes Chiropractic placed third. In the Sport Men Master2 race Paul Konhaus won 1st Place with Jac Frech - Tailwind second and Randy Hitchens - First State Velo Sport third.

1st Place Clydesdale was won by Brad Jones. Mark Fitzwater - Wooden Wheels took second after racing last week at Blue Marsh. John Kula was third.
