The Contender Club

Hopefully this will inspire you to participate in our roller race! You have until Saturday!

Congratulations to Dylan Cirulis for a great ride down in Australia in the Wildside MTB finishing 9th in the open class and 21st overall. Plus he didn’t just catch air on the mountain bike; check out the video!

Reed Wycoff is the current leader with a distance of 5.88km. It’s gonna be a tough one to beat. There are people lining up to take their shot though so it’s going to get interesting.

Reed Wycoff 5.88km
Kevin Van Loon 5.09km
Graham Greenlee 4.95km
Sandy White 4.55km
Brian Meacham 4.21km (previous best was 4.08)

Recently we have had some people around the world sporting the Contender colors.

First, we have Todd of our Minnesotan contingent who was recently in Cyprus. Although you can’t tell from the picture. Just looks like he is hanging out with Bibs but it is none the less exciting that he was riding in Cyrpus.

Next, we have Dylan who is down in his motherland, Australia, to participate in the Wildside MTB. Dylan also ran into DJ of our Seattle contingent sporting the kit. Although Dylan isn’t sporting the kit in the photo at least he is rocking the socks!

Finally, according to a source who will remain anonymous due to the fact that he doesn’t want to admit watching American Idol, a Contender jersey went whizzing by on the last night’s show when they were filming outside of one of the preliminary stops in Denver. Never thought a Contender jersey would ever be on American Idol!

Good thing that Graham had the longest distance yesterday considering he wasn’t able to finish the entire effort due to an incident about 9 min 30 sec into the 10 min effort (see video below). Looking forward to many, many efforts in the next couple of weeks!
