EDWARD JONES POINTS SERIES -- CRIPPLE CREEK TT
	Cripple Creek Time Trial -- Aug 20th, 2009 -- 11 miles

Oh what a night! The weather was perfect with clear skies and 
temperatures hoovering around 60 degrees. And, as this was a time trial, 
no wind!! Riders left the start line with smiles one minute apart. 
Anywhere from 28 (yes 28!!) minutes to 47 minutes later riders came back 
with red, sweatie, and grimmacing (is that why they call it Cripple 
Creek?) faces as they struggled up the last incline to the finish line 
near the Parks Highway.

In what proved to be one of if not the fastest fields (for average time) 
to tackle the Cripple Creek Course the field scorched the road. The 
largest field ever for FCC for a racing season finale had 25 riders, 9 
of those riders were vying for a spot on the Points Series podium. Tyson 
Flaharty set a course record with a smokin' 28.58.78 followed very 
closely by the Hanneman brothers with Logan stopping the clock at 
29.47.42 and Reese (freshly back from skiing in Colorado) at 31.02.82.

In the ladies field Heather Best again claimed the win by more than two 
minutes over a charging Laura Leblanc. Heather complete the course in 
36.18.51 for the win followed by Laura at 38.29.96. And continuing to 
she her mastery of the Cripple Creek course was Gail Koepf crossing the 
line at 40.08.64, narrowly missing the sub 40 minute mark.

Competition for the sport men was very tight. Rick Steele edged all 
competitors with a time of 33.22.24. His time was followed closely by 
Chris Wyatt at 33.38.82 and John Petersen, fresh off his triathlon 
training, at 33.56.89.

Super Domestiques were once again amongst the worlds best. The Cripple 
Creek Time Trial places the greatest demand on volunteers to monitor 
each turn around, the stop at Isberg intersection, and the ever required 
start and finish area. Each of these individuals stepped up to meet 
those requirements and are much appreciated; Alina Wyatt, Madeline 
Button, Mary Brunner, Alejandro Beltran, Sam Herreid, Lisa Ciarcell, 
Jeff Oatley, and Davya Flaharty filled out the volunteer contingent... 
and they were great!!
