Frederic Lions' Classic Bike Race

Frederic Lions' Classic Bike Race

The Frederic Time Trial is one of the oldest continuously held races in the state. The 2009 edition was held on a new course with a significant amount of fresh pavement to go with large hills and a tough headwind on the last section. Kerri had so much fun at Rib Falls that she talked her husband Scott in buying a TT bike so he could do the race also. Jim B, and Ann, Joan and Jim P also made the trip to northwest Wisconsin. Joan continued her streak of wins after a close race with Iron Woman Maggie Fournier. Kerri also picked up a gold in her age group. Ann finished second in her age group and Scott scored a bronze in his. The Jim's made good efforts, but neither could get to the podiums. Regardless, the weather and the course made for a great test of June fitness and everyone had a good time racing with friends.
