"Sweet Motivation"

"Would the promise of Girl Scout cookies at the top be
enough motivation to get you to ride your fastest up
Ester Dome?  For a small, but strong contingent of
cyclists participating in "Hill's Hill Climb" on
Thursday evening it was.  Junior racer William Coleman
and Ben Barton battled it out at the end each coming
in first in their race categories.  Junior and Men's,
respectively.  Barton finished on top with a time of
37:36, and Coleman a close second at 37:49.

  Local race organizer Dan Harris finished in second
place with a time of 46:05, followed by Jarrod Gillam
at 49:11.  

Although all four racers were out of breath at the
finish, they were all smiles when they saw the
cookies! "
