Mtn. Biker Wins Red Bull Road Rage

Chalk one up for the mountain bikers, cause they took it to the roadies yesterday at the Red Bull Road Rage event in Tuna Canyon, California. One would think that given the even was on pavement the roadies might have the advantage, but I guess those mtn. biking handling skills have some crossover effect.

Here is a link I found with some pictures of the event.


Here are some results:

Myles Rockwell 4:24.7
David McCook 4:25.9
Brian Lopes 4:28.6
John Wike 4:33.1
Mark Weir 4:36.1
Erik Saunders 4:36.1
David Clinger 4:37.9

The original prize purse was doubled to $10,000 thanks to Avid Brakes and broke down as follows:

1st place: $ 3,000 - Mountain biker Myles Rockwell of Durango, CO (Time: 4:24.7)

So, it looks as if Myles was buying drinks last night!
