Cam and Kent at TTT
Nearing the end of the race it was Cam Kirkpatrick ( Rasmussen/Orbea) and Kent McNeill (Midwest Cycling Community) fighting it out for first place. Cam drops the hammer on the last lap to take first.
The fourth race in the Psycowpath Mtb Series, the Tranquility Tire Tantrum served up some fast and exciting mountain bike racing along with the blistering 96 degrees weather. With the lack of any recent precipitation in rescent days made for very dusty conditions.
 
The highly contested Expert race was lead off with Kevin Limpach (Midwest Cycling Community) of Omaha, Nebr taking the holeshot  along with Darin Schlake (Monkey Wrench) of Lincoln, Nebr and Kent McNeill (Midwest Cycling Community) of Omaha, Nebr. close behind on the first lap.  In the end it came down to Cam Kirkpatrick (Rasmussen/Orbea) of Urbandale, IA  and Kent McNeill to battle it out.  Kent McNeill took second and was with Cam until midway through the last lap, losing 20 twenty seconds to Cam. Coming off of the Leadville 100 Kent said “My legs were still a bit tired, but I felt pretty good.  Cam put the hammer down on the last lap and I tried to go with him, but my legs ached quite a bit and I was just unable to respond.”  Cam is currently leading the Psycowpath Series.
