Boulder, CO, March 23, 2002

Teton and Gloeckner take Front Range honors with the first wins of the year.

It was 15 weeks ago that BoulderRacing.com put on the last race of the 2001 Colorado season, a tune-up cyclocross race the week before US Cyclocross Nationals. Its now the new year and BR was back in the mix with the Colorado Front Range's first race of 2002. Partly cloudy skies with temperatures nearing 70 degrees made for a wonderful day of racing. The 1.1 mile four corner course featured smooth roads and a hill to the finish that always takes it's toll on the riders legs.

But it wasn't a first race for the collegiate racers. after two races in Utah and one in Mew Mexico, the Rocky Mountain Conference has been heating up for quite some time. It was CU Cycling's turn to host a race and charma was on their side as they took first and second in both men's and women's events. Ironic enough, Sara Tarkington, Teton's sister, and out of retirement junior stud, Andrew Minart took the wins and teammates Cheynna Treto and Jeremie Texier each finished second with the help of their CU teammates executing perfect play book strategy.

The Pro 1,2 women started with a modest field of almost 20, but that didn't last long. From the get go, Emily Gloeckner (Veritas) started the attacks and finally made one stick with Renee Eastman (Vitamin Cottage). The two dangled out in front of the field for the duration of the race as the Pro Peloton girls gave chase. But Veritas teammate, Margell Abel, kept the chasers at bay, blocking and intimidating at every opportunity. On the last lap, up the hill to the finish, Renee started to fade and Abel took the field sprint almost catching the Vitamin Cottage rider.

A light breeze was blowing as the Pro 1,2 field set off at a mellow pace. This only lasted a lap as a group of riders began pushing the pace at the front. Soon the field was stretched out to it's limit. Some final pressure by Vitamin Cottage's Jon Tarkington and Forida.net rider, Hugo Pradoneto, caused the elastic to snap leaving six riders off the front. Within a few laps of serious pace making the break was down to four riders with a gap of 40 seconds. There was still 40 minutes to go with a chase group forming just off the front of the main field. Gradually the field slowed the quartet slowly increased their lead. With 15 minutes remaining the attacks began at the front of the race. Together Tarkington and Pradoneto worked to drop Pro-Peloton teammates Kelly Ruddicik and Guy Coffey in the last two laps. With two corners to go Tarkington saw his opportunity and jumped clear up the hill for the win.

Boulder Racing.com's next Spring Criterium is on April 21st in Boulder and will also be an collegiate event.
