Foothills Climbfest
Results - May 24th
The 2014 Foothills Climbfest, contested on May 24, 2014, climbs well over 8,000 vertical feet in just 80 miles, tackling some of the most challenging paved roads in the foothills
to the southwest of Denver, including High Grade Road (a 3,000 foot Front Range classic!), Shadow Mountain/Brook Forest, Parmalee Gulch Road,
High Drive (it's not called high drive for nothing!), and Brook Forest/Shadow Mountain (in reverse...a "beast" of a climb at the end of a long day.
The weather was unseasonably cool with a persistent threat of thunderstorms throughout the day. Riders were greeted by chilly temperatures in the upper 40s while ascending Deer Creek Canyon, which was lined with mounds of hailstones from the previous evening's storm. Temperatures did peak in the upper 60s as clouds succumbed to some sunshine during the afternoon.
There were 25 ride starters and 24 finishers. Congratulations to Mindy Gehrs of Lyons, CO who shattered the women's course record with a time of 5:06 (15.9 mph). Congratulatons to Steve Rudolph and RMCC new-comer, Steve Kupecz, for sharing the fastest men's time of 4:53 (16.6 mph).
