Past news: Duluth Classic/Alpe Bl'Huez

Climbing the Alpe and racing in stages

May 23-26, 2008

BLUE MOUNDS, WISC. -- "It hurt."

That's a common phrase after the time trial at L'Alpe Bl'Huez at Blue Mounds State Park where six BFR'ers took on the nasty 3.5 mile climb that rounds out the 10-mile TT.

Elmer Colyer (4th) and , well, Elmer Colyer (24th) were the top male finishers on the team, while Julie Phelps (81st) was the lone female from the Flyers.

Colyer rode the course two times in two different bike classes. This after pre-riding the course earlier in the week.

Rick Green captured 38th while Mike Buelter took 49th, David Goetzinger 59th, Nate Phelps 78th, and Daniel Johnson 114th to round out the Big Ring Flyer effort.

Overall winner Jeffery Otte set a new course record finishing in 27:48.

Video of people suffering on the last part of the climb can be found here:
