Sunshine Hill Climb

This past Saturday was the Sunshine Hill Climb. No question on the classification of "hill-climb" needed for this one, just check out the statistics; 3000+ feet of vertical gain, in just over 9 miles, finishing at nearly 8500 feet up. And no question that plenty of the local "big guns" showed up for this one. Ewam, Wes, Hutch, Dan, and Nick showed up to race this one.

Even before the 8am start, it was getting hot, and with plenty of fast guys to keep an eye on, the race started out at a very civil pace. Of course, the problem with that, usually means that when it's "go-time", things are going to go that much quicker! And they did! By the second steep section, it was every man for himself, as the field began to explode. Dan contined with his string of solid, consecutive finishes, and was the 8th man over the dusty finish line at the top of the dirt climb. Not bad at all, considering the depth of the field, and the fact that he left a couple Tour of California riders in his wake, among plenty others.

Hopefully we'll get Randy or Nate to post an update from their trip out to Fitchburg, it sounds like Randy isn't a fan of Massachusetts-Meatballs...

Tomorrow is the 4th of July, and HART wants to remind people, "Light fuse, get away!"
