Team Battles Winds at the Bruce Edwards TT, Earns Several Podium Spots

It was almost looking like a repeat of the weather conditions that Big D experienced at Bazaar just a couple of weeks ago. As luck would have it, the rain scooted off just south of us, and the Big D team just had to navigate the TT course, while battling some gusty winds.

Donavon Hottman had the highest podium finish, getting first place in the Men’s 65+ category. Bill Jennings was right behind with a 2nd place finish. Jennings mentioned this was the first time he was able to beat David Wamsley, so congratulations on that positive experience and show of improvement!

Doug Young and Greg Vaught earned some valuable KBAR points in the Men’s Master 50+ category. Thanks to Greg again for his efforts in hauling the trailer and other equipment.

Joe Kleidosty placed 2nd in the Master 40+ category.

Bree Ginden, Amy VanNieuwenhuyse, Josie Measures, and Roberta Dierks represented the Big D Women’s team with strong placements in their respective categories.

One of the more exciting highlights of the day was Nigel Vaught’s 2nd place finish in the Juniors 9 – 13 age category. Peter Whalen was not far behind, with a 4th place finish. Greg had the pleasure of escorting his son around the course during the race. Nigel did not get his shoe laces tucked in properly, and they became stuck in his chain. He handled the situation like a pro, avoided a mishap, and still earned a silver medal! Congratulations to our Juniors! Thanks to Keen Wealth Advisors for sponsoring the junior entry fees.
