Matt Keane - Hill Climb Champion...

Congratulations to Matt Keane the Wintergreen Hill Climbing Champion. I don't know how a "flat lander" did it but he did! Great job Matt! Picture credit goes to Martin: Picasa Web Albums - Martin

I wish I could have done better, but a combination of a stomach bug and lack of proper preparation did me in. I should have gone up with the team the weekend before and ridden the route with people that have done it before so that I could be mentally prepared for the suffer-ama that Wintergreen is. The fact that my stomach has been "off" and cramping for the three days before Wintergreen and is still not right didn't help either. Anyways, I will chalk this one up to a learning experience and be better trained and more prepared next year.
