We had some good numbers down in Torrey, Utah this year for the 2nd Annual, 2 day, 3 stage Capital Reef Classic Stage Race.
Friday morning there was an 8.5 mile individual time trial, Friday afternoon was a circuit race on a hard, 17 mile course with short punchy climbs. Depending on the category, you would do 1, 2 or 3 laps on this course. Saturday morning presented the long road race with either a 50 mile or 81 mile course with some serious climbing on the long course.
The temperature was a bit warmer down there this year than last year but, still 15 degrees cooler than in Salt Lake City.
Sam Clark won the Cat 5 circuit race on friday afternoon with a solo break on the 2nd half of the course.
Tyler Kirk was 2nd in the TT, third in the circuit race and 3rd on the road race to get into the money with a 2nd over all in the GC. Tyler wanted to dedicate this race to his wife who couldn't be there this weekend because she was home with their newborn son.
It is a great venue, with wonderful volunteer support and a difficult but fun race that will certainly continue to grow over the next few years.
