ABD'ers Rock the Indoor TT's!

I just wanted to give a shout out to all the ABD'ers who are flying out of the gates this year with great results at the indoor TT:

Susan Peithman & Jessi Prinner were the two fastest women this past weekend, following on the heels of Susan & Maya Tubic's great times in TT#1!

- Actually, all of the ABD women are off to a great start with Katie Chaddock, Joy Houser, Gina Kenny, Donna Maday, Allison Moe, Jenny Cerwin, Vicki Heck and Irene Pang all riding to top 5 results.

- The future looks bright with young riders Graham Clark, Konrad Witt, MJ Redlich and Joseph Glinka all taking podium spots in a quickly growing AM15-5k class. 

- ABD Juniors Alex Bowden, Alex Billingsley and Theo Quednau look very strong, with just one second separating Billingsley and Quednau in the current overall standings!

- The "fast" gene must run in the families, as Ken Glinka and Ted Quedna, Sr. have both posted top 5's in the CM40-49 category!

- It's good to have Big Tom Pedrick back and his 4th place finish in the CM50+ at the first TT.

- Speaking of Tom's, check out Tom Egan's smokin' time to take the AM60+ category at TT1, followed by Bill Kallas - who's taken 2nd at both of the TT's.

Pat Murphy has won his category at both of the TT's, and we'd expect no less!

Rob Jungels is riding strong in both the 30+ and AM1/2 categories with top 3 finishes in both.

- New Elite Team rider Ryan Baumann did us proud this last Sunday with a 14:34 - the only rider to come within 10 seconds of one of the "Druber monster's" times.

Jim Flechsig uncorked a great ride this past Sunday to actually beat his flat 10k time by one second and place 4th in the AM4 category.

It's going to be fun to see who steps up at TT#3 and TT#4, which are only separated by two weeks!
