Big Wheel Racing

The Big Wheel Racing Team had great numbers at the 2007 edition of 24hrs of Sage in Gunnison, Co.  The 24 hour mountain bike race took place at Hartman Rocks on a 13-mile looped course, and the goal was to see how many times racers could complete the loop in a 24-hour period.  Big Wheel Racing team members Jen Albright, Jeff Hemperley, and Matt Turgeon all raced as solo racers on singlespeed bikes, and Lisa Wishard raced as a solo rider on her geared bike.  Lyn Alter and Jeni Turgeon raced as a duo in the women’s duo category.  198 entrants competed in this, the largest field ever for the 5th annual http://www.24hoursinthesage.com/.

The team did quite well, with Matt taking 1st place in the solo singlespeed category, and 3rd place overall.  Jeff took 8th place solo singlespeed, and Lisa and Jen took 6th and 9th places in the Women’s Solo Categories.  Way to go solo riders!

Jeni and Lyn raced in the duo category against teams comprised almost entirely of men.  They captured 2nd place in the women’s duo teams, and 10th place in all duos. 

Thanks to all the team supporters for this effort!  Big Wheel Racing had a great day and represented quite well.
