Mike Williams wins Deer Trail, 4th at Haystack!

Posted on April 28, 2009 by Sam Acheson

The Peloton-Specialized Cycling Team showed strong form in the Men’s 45+ races at the Deer Trail Road Race and Haystack Mountain Time Trial over the weekend. Mike Williams sprinted to victory at Deer Trail and finished a solid fourth place at Haystack. Below is a brief race report from Stuart Culp.

Old guys rule. Mike beat (Jim) Dickerson in a sprint, Scott took 7th.

Mike took off about mile 3 with one other and was still off with about 15 miles to go. At that point they were followed by a group of 5 including Jim Dickerson and Scott Queen. Obviously (by the times) Scott & Jim’s group caught them, but Mike was still able to win the sprint after being off the front with just 1 other for at least 25 miles.

Impressive, not just Mike, but Scott’s return to racing too.

These results will no doubt boost Mike’s confidence as he rolls toward his major season goal, the Colorado State Time Trail Championship.
