A dark and stormy start greeted a number of the first riders off at the Kansas Time Trial Championship. Early promises of ideal weather gave way to lightning, blustery wind and rain. At least one athlete chose not to start due to nearby lightning strikes and race crew and county officials were forced to delay the later categories by 30 minutes. The next wave of riders were plagued with several flat tires from the washed up road debris. Post event spirits were raised by an invitation to all to attend a local barbecue/indoor award ceremony. A healthy prize list including Kansas Championship medals were passed out and many burgers were consumed. A raffle exclusive to the 17 first time riders (courtesy of Trek Bicycle of KC/Localcycling.com) gave goody bags to two lucky competitors. Riders up to age 70 and from several states participated in this epic.
Roger Lomshek, The KCA and all the helpers put on a first class event under challenging circumstances. Results here. Click the read more to view the Kansas medalists.
