Our friends are streaming back in their cars, SUV's and 1 RV from points east and southeast while the results of their efforts, pour in from various news agencies.  Let's start with the most impressive....

.....Lori finishing 1st, for the 2nd consecutive year, among all women on the long route of 90 miles with 6630' elevation gain at "Blood, Sweat & Gears".. A participant texted me afterwards saying George Hincapie was talking to her during the ride and later, everyone wanted to know if "that woman" won again.  Apparently Lori is quite the celebrity in certain circles.

In the overall, Luke Russell finished 5th with a time of 4:04, with Marty in 17th at 4:08, Matt McCune in 35th at 4:16, Steve Fields in  42nd at 4:18, Lori at 51st. and Yianni at 85th.

Lots of central Ohioans visited Maryland to participate in the Garrett County Gran Fondo and one of several distance options; Diabolical Double, Savage Century, Masochistic Metric, Fabulous 44, and Garrett's Greatest 25.  It's an interesting format with no overall timed result, instead 7 major climbs are timed, which encourages regroups at the top of each and group riding to the base of the next climb. There were some technical issues with some of the timing mats and not only are 7 major ascents timed, for which you have to have 5 timed climbs to qualify for the leaderboard but some of the timed "climbs" include descents.  Some of the descents were wet so.... Anyway, Peggy Cook finished 1st in her age category, David Smith was the top central Ohio finisher at 55th, Flyin Tuna was the top central Ohio female finisher at 25th but here is where, and I got this from Cindy, the technical issues blend in.  Lisa Ramsey had results that would suggest she would have finished top 3 or top 5 but while she rode the 100 mile route, she had only 4 official timed climbs so that shot her off the leaderboard.  Other finishers were Gus Cook, Amanda, Mark V, Paul Djupe, Eva, Jennifer and Frans,

Looks like you can email them with your garmin/Strava data, I may do that as the Dry Run climb's mat near the end of the Century had the most issues. While Eva was 35 out of 92 women 40+, and I was 37, we were both thinking of doing the DD next year...we shall see. a lovely, tough ride to say the least. I ran into Tym Tyler who was doing the DD as well at the last rest stop. Congrats to Peggy Cook who was the top 60+ woman finisher!

Lisa Ramsey's results are now updated; she placed 2nd in 40+ and 9th overall female. Congrats to Lori, very impressive, as usual.
