In the final hillclimb of our 2025 series, we had 11 riders tackle this beautiful climb on an absolutely beautiful evening. There were 9 riders for the 5:30 mass start and 2 riders at another time. Surprisingly, the fastest time of the night was from someone who has done a few of these this year, but never reported his time to me. Beau Guenther posted a Strava time of 8:42 which put him in first over our winner Ryan by almost a minute. YIKES!

Today's official results are as follows:

1. Ryan Davis; Time: 9:35; 11.83 mph; 12 points

2. Garret Theberg; Time: 10:27; 10.85 mph; 11 points

3. Sam Veggeberg; Time: 10:59; 10.32 mph; 10 points

4. Nick Davis; Time: 12:13; 9.28 mph; 9 points

5. Andy MacDonald; Time: 12:23; 9.16 mph; 8 points

6. David Goodwin; Time: 13:08; 8.63 mph; 7 points

7. Shawn Lakota; Time: 13:40; 8.3 mph; 6 points
