Haystack TTT

Race Report and Results: Haystack Mountain Time Trial, Boulder, CO
In the ITT Burt Henry put his name at the top of the list for 45+ riders with a scorching 34:02. To put this in perspective Peter Stetina won the Pro’s in 32:17 (Peter was 4th or 5th in the World as a U-23 rider last year). Burt’s time was 10th fastest among all competitors on Sunday.
Last year Jim Dickerson, (Colorado TT Champion) won the 45+ with a 36:29.

In the TTT the 35’s put on a stellar show to finish 3rd (keep in mind only one guy was in his 30's from our team).
