Click on the Image above to compair times with prior years. The short course was changed in 2007 making it 2 miles longer.
Another year of Colesburg is done (18 of them so far), and this year was a good one: a new course record, near record participation, not a single hospital visit, injury or wildlife alteration. The Chain Reaction club made $400, we handed out $800 in prize money and $100 for the course record and hill top prem. New this year was a guess your time which split $50 to two racers who got it exactly right.
Our race sponsors were Bicycle World of Dubuque with cash value gift certificates in bottles and a finish line shade tent, Free Flight Bikes of Dubuque for the other finish line tent, and Momentum Sports in Platteville who brought a huge crew to the race.
We had a great group of official volunteers (Jody Bramel, Traci Andre, Bill Stoffel, Karl Steichen, Sherry Spahn, Martha O’Conner Leigh, Christopher Bramel and Mimi Vaassen). We also had a great group of neutral support crews from all parts handing out bottled water to the racers!
Our short course is mile for mile hillier than the long course, we just cut out all the long flat sections…

Gravel conditions were loose and sketchy in parts so the record times are even more amazing… This is an open category 41 mile race, so the cat 3, 4, 5 Sport racers get to mix it elbow to elbow with the pro, 1, 2 and Experts in a white knuckle 30 MPH gravel start… oh the fun!
