For at least the second year in a row Mt. Evans was the Colorado State Hill Climb Championship. For anyone who does not know, this climb is legendary. It is 28 miles of pain, that goes to the top of the highest paved road in the United States, and tops out around 14,000 feet. For most masters racers it is a 2 to 2.5 hour death march. We do have one defending champion in Jimi Gibson, who won the 45 plus race in 2009.
For 2010 the 35 plus squad was deep with guys who names start with M, Matt Gates, Marc Holbert, and Matt Segur. They would not disappoint as by the top of the hill all 3 of them would be in the top 6, with Matt Gates making the podium in 3rd place. They were sorry to miss out on the win, but it was an incredible show of depth for 3 guys.
In the 45 plus race Jimi Gibson did his magic and won the race for the second time in a row. Congratulations Jimi. Big Ring Bill came through close behind in 5th and Matt V. in 11th.
