45TH BOB COOK MEMORIAL
Mt. Evans Hill Climb
Despite threatening skies and what
appeared to be a day in for rain, the
45th Annual Bob Cook Memorial,
benefiting Amgen’s Breakaway from
Cancer, provided a pleasantly cool
start and clear skies above Echo
Lake.
The race was tactical from the start
with Team Hotel San Jose setting
tempo for Kevin Nicol the 2008 Mt

the group with an attack at mile 20

anyway. We rode about 32 miles and gained 4,011’ in eleva-

enhancements to the event, the 23rd Annual Triple Bypass
on July 9th, 2011.
The Tour de France did not fail to provide us with an excit-
ing race that kept our motivation high in the final days of
training for the Triple and beyond. Let’s hope Lance makes
a successful transition into the next phase of his life – a
true sign of success! It is hard at this point to imagine him
pursuing a quiet, more private life. While his star power
prevails, this year the Tour introduced us to many emerg-
ing riders that will undoubtedly provide us with excitement
for years to come!
As we transition to August and feel the power of our riding
propel us through the plains, up the foothills and over
mountain passes, thank you to everyone who rides a bicy-
cle and drives a vehicle for the effort to share and get
along on both the roads and trails.
