The hills at Ponca State Park laid forth a challenging course under perfect conditions on Saturday for the Ponca's Revenge 4 Hour Marathon. Hosted by Sioux City Velo, Ponca's Revenge was the second marathon event of the 2007 Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath Series. Eighteen year old Aaron Grady (Bike Masters) got his second win of the series, completing 11 laps-- more than any other competitor. Grady's relentless pace held off regional semi-pro Cam Kirkpatrick (Rasmussen), with style pro Matt Gersib (Salsa Cycles/Monkey Wrench) coming in at third. Kevin Limpach of Midwest Cycling Community battled to fourth place after early cramping had him second guessing the previous night's campfire libations. Host club Sioux City Velo's Cody McCollough managed to get on the fifth step, while Lincoln commuting icon CVO (Monkey Wrench Cycles) took sixth. In the women's solo division, Lincoln's Sydney Brown (Badger Cycles) took the win with Donna Holmes placing second. The 2007 Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath Series continues on July 7 at Lake Manawa State Park. |

Featured Stories
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!

"The Race Across The Sky" Leadville Trail 100
"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!"
