Le Tour De Mont Pleasant - 06/13/2009

Le Tour De Mont Pleasant:
Small on the Mountain- Big on the Pleasant.
This was a first time event for the organizers of Le Tour de Mont Pleasant but they did a great job of making it seem like it's been going on as long as Le Tour de France. Speaking of which, the racers and onlookers were treated to 9 time Tour De France racer Frankie Andreu as the event commentator!

Here' a rundown of the weekend events:
Saturday Criterium:
Women's Cat 4 Crit:
Danielle Rearick 3rd
Amy Jenema 4th
Women's Cat 1-3:
Susan Vigland 4th
Sunday Road Race
While the Pro's where out on the 105 mile loop, we all raced a basically flat course with the occasional false flat or freeway ramp. The short distance made the races fast and furious.
Women's Cat 4:
With Amy Jenema and Rachel Decker controlling the main pack, Danielle Rearick and Arrianne Whitaker got in a break away for a 5th and 6th place finish.
Women's Cat 1-3:
Susan Vigland 4th
We're sending a shout out to Marci Bultimier and Laura Webb for some aggressive riding in the beginning of their race.
Men's Cat 4:
Jason Whitaker 6th
Joel Graff 7th
Masters 35+
The guys took turns attacking the field to try to form up a break away. The breaks didn't materialize as they hoped but were still able to knab a 5th place finish for Tim Barrons. Thanks to Craig, TJ and Peter for the aggressive racing and hopefully breaking the 15th place curse.
Masters 45+
Scott Pryde 5th place Way to outfox and out sprint your competitors!
Don Fedrigon 6th
