After some pretty nasty weather while I was away the last three Tuesdays, I was happy to see a very pleasant night for a hillclimb. This resulted in a good turnout of 14 riders.

Thanks so much to Jonathan OK for doing a spectacular job of running these events in my absence. I tried to talk him into taking over the reporting duties while we were at the starting line tonight but he wasn't buying it. I even tried extreme flattery.

There were a whopping 6 PRs tonight - Luke by 3:04, Garret by 1:06, Ryan by 0:56, Richard and Shawn by 0:27 and Mitch by 0:10. Up until yesterday, I liked to tell anyone that would indulge me that I don't like to use my age to make excuses. Since yesterday was my big 70 and since I came in last place and was off my PR by 4:50, that all changes from this point onward!

Sam stays atop the men's hillclimb leaderboard (with Ryan a mere 3 points behind) while Melissa maintains a slim 2 point edge over Madeline. In the Overall men's series, Andy holds a substantial 21 point lead over second place while the women's competition is flipped - Madeline with a 5 point lead over Melissa. There are only 2 time trials and 1 hillclimb left in the season so it's probably going to come down to the wire.
