CHAISSON AND FLEURY WIN IN PRESQUE ISLE
The weather was nice to the 20 racers who made the trip to Presque Isle for the ninth time trial of the series. An isolated storm blew through about two hours before the start and deluged the course. Although a lot of people warmed up on wet pavement, it stopped raining and the course began to dry just in time for the first rider to start. The temperature was in the mid 70s and a slight headwind faced the riders on the way out. A total of 17 men and 3 women challenged the 14.85-mile course that rolls alongside the Aroostook River .
Doug Chaisson from Athol, MA said, "The course was tough, I wanted to stop once or twice." He must have found something to his liking, he set a new course record at 32:39, lowering the previous standard by 1:20. There were a lot of strong performances and most riders liked the course.
Kathy Fleury of Winslow, ME was first among the women at 42:55.
Thanks to Mojo and the volunteers that made it all happen: Hal Stewart, Mark Fullen, Kale Poland , Kyle Washington, and Susan and Peter Forbes.
