City Bikes/Metro Gutter at the SM100
City Bikes/Metro Gutter had an impressive turnout this weekend at the 8th annual Shenandoah Mountain 100. Tropical Storm Ernesto threatened to put a damper on the weekend but the weather cleared earlier than expected on friday and trails were in good shape come sunday morning. Evan lead the City Bikes crew, turning in an 9 hour 35 minute time to crack the top 50. Kent Baake, Dietrich Wiegmann, Eric Welp, and Brian Poochigian all put in incredible efforts to come in under the 11 hours and Matt Donahue came in just outside that mark at 11:01.
City Bikes inventory manager Mike Klasmeier beat his 2005 time by an hour in spite of a bee sting that forced him to take a half hour break early in the race and finished in 11:33. Jonathan Wheaton - a recent addition to the team and recent singlespeed convert - finished his first singlespeed SM100 at 11:45 and Mike Scardaville managed to beat back the demons that have haunted him in stokesville to finish just over 12 hours.
After a string of years where scheduling conflicts kept him away from this Labor Day weekend classic, Ricky deLeyos finished his second 100 in just over 13 hours. SM100 first-timer Tris Newbury was riding a strong and steady race up to checkpoint 4 where the time cutoff forced her to stop riding.
