Norfolk, NE - The first day of the 2007 Norfolk Classic is history and the day one leaders left are in yellow leader’s jersey from Elkhorn Valley Cycling and Monster Energy. The morning 18-mile time trial ran under clear skies and perfect conditions. Cody McCollough (Powerade - Independent Fabrication) of Sioux City, IA set the fastest time and a possible course record, churning it out in 39:52 with an average speed of 26.79 miles per hour. Time trial winners were: Junior - Geoff Nelson (Powerade - Independent Fabrication) Women 4 – Megan Neiles (UNMC/Team Kaos)
Women Open – Morgan Chaffin (UNMC/Team Kaos) Men 5 (35+) – Dan Schuldt (Elkhorn Valley Cycling – powered by Monster) Men 5 (45+) – Jerry Arnold (Unattached) Men 5 (55+) – Richard Hake (Elkhorn Valley Cycling – powered by Monster)

The afternoon road race was southeast of Stanton on a hilly and windy 32-mile loop.

Kent McNeill along with a few others have been busy the last month and a half. France last month and Leadville 100 this month. Kent was kind enough to regale us with his account of their adventures.
2008 E’tape Du Tour
This year was supposed to be easier. I suppose in terms of mileage and total elevation gain, it was. Our route from Pau over the Tourmalet and then to the top of Hautacam was 108 miles with 11,600 feet of climbing. The past couple of years our routes have been from 125-150 miles with 13,000 to 14,000 feet of climbing and we have ridden in extreme heat conditions. This swung us to the other end of the spectrum. Hypothermia!

"Your from Nebraska?" the gal at medical check in asked. "Yes" Steve replied. "So you’re taking the high altitude medication Diamox then?" she asked. "No" Steve replied, having never heard of it. "Oh Boy!" she said with a tone of amazement and worry. "Good Luck!"
