Welcome!
Metamora Results Are Posted - go to the MM4X50 site! |
2007 was a great year for UltraMidwest events. And the 2008 season is off to a
great start! The Balltown Classic and Balltown century were held on Saturday the
31st of May. There were more participants this year than ever, as 28 riders rode
the hills of Balltown and nearly all finished! There were more 100 mile racers this
year, including a mixed tandem and a recumbent. Bill Ford took the overall best
time for men, and this year's sole woman rider, Randy Love, established a new course record for women. For complete results, see the Balltown home page!
The Metamora 4X50 was held
August 9th, running out of Black Partridge Park in Metamora,
IL. Despite an early crash, a few more hills due to last minute road resurfacing,
and a morning rain, this was a record setter. For results see the Metamora 4X50
page.
And the big one - the UltraMidwest 24 hour Challenge - along with the 12 and 6 hour
races will once again be held at the Riverdale Jr High outside of Port Byron, IL.
Those events will be held on the Saturday before Labor Day, August 30, 2008.
In 2008, UltraMidwest is again producing races that are sanctioned by the Ultramarathon
Cycling Association; the UltraCycling Cup, and the World Cup. We are
proud to be associated with the UMCA and all the cyclists that compete in these
races!
