Written by Ryan Feagan Monday, 19 May 2008 Louisville, NE - The Platte River Battle Royal Marathon, hosted in fine fashion by the CycleWorks/Moose's Tooth crew, was a huge success by all accounts. Over 70 riders enjoyed the different racing format, many doing a few laps than taking a break with friends, only to go out and do more laps later at a more "conversational" pace. It offered everyone a chance to push themselves and their limits in an environment that encourages camaraderie and all-around fun! Cam Kirkpatrick (Rasmussen) took top honors completing 12 laps in 5:59, with Matt Gersib (MonkeyWrench Cycles/Salsa Cycles) coming in second at 12 laps in 6:32. Jesse Petersen (MonkeyWrench Cycles) & Jim Winklepleck completed 11 laps, and Jeff Bergen rounded out the podium with 10 laps. Roxzanne Abbott took the women's field with 10 laps in total, just 6 minutes shy of the men's podium. Complete results are in. Please note that split times were not available for every rider on every lap. CONGRATS CAM!!
