Report

Mid-weather chill hinted at the coming winter, but today Low-Key asserted its meteorological influence and riders had perfect weather for TBZ's Black Mountain time trial.

A few riders were late to their starts, but otherwise everything went super-smoothly, with riders providing positive feedback to the challenging course.

Due to a small topologica/logistical issue involving car keys and a locked car, the massively parallel computational array for real-time results generation and sorting was not available. However, the Brown Zone crew was not deterred: with some frenetic finish-line work, the traditional TBZ awards ceremony took place, with gorgeous trophies ("this is better than any T-shirt!") presented to the top riders in each division. And as a happy side effect some worn cogs and chainrings were spared from landfill.

On the climb, it was Bill Bushnell leading the hybrid electric division by producing a fantastic ride to score a strong 113 points for Team Low-Key. He then photographed ever other finisher. Bill's finish line photos have been invaluable in several Low-Keys this year.

Among the women, it was a super-strong turnout as 18 completed the challenging course. In a remarkable tie, third place was shared by Janet Gardner and Trish Pacheco. Lynn Sestek did an amazing ride to finish a strong second. But the big winner was the 2012 overall women's champion Lisa Penzel, who scored 125 points, the top score for a women in Low-Key 2013 so far. Her strong result, combined with a volunteer credit from week 3, put her in a strong second-place position behind her teammate, McLovely Brown, who volunteered today.

In the men's standing, it was 2013 first-timers taking two out of the three positions. Jacob Berkman of Team Mike's Bikes finished just two seconds ahead of series leader Stefano Profumo to take second. The top position was long-time Low-Keyer Carl Nielson, who scored an impressive 130 points with his convincing lead on today's course. This was the top weekly score this year by a rider over age 18, the third overall.

Both Carl and Lisa broke the standing Strava KOMs for this climb, which were held by Adrien Costa and Brianne Szolusha.

In the overall, Stefano Profumo leads with David Collet at the top of a close contest for second place. Joe Sullivan put in a solid ride today to put himself third overall.

On the team side, Sisters and Misters of No Mercy had the top score for the week, thanks in part to Carl's impressive ride, with The Brown Zone second and Bike Trip/Symantec putting up an impressive score for first. But when McLovely's volunteer points get factored in, The Brown Zone's score toward the overall was highest, so they strengthen their top position, which at this point appears unassailable.

So Low-Key moves toward the end-game, with four climbs remaining. Next week: Patterson Pass, another in a series of first-time Low-Key climbs this year.
