Wade's Excellent Adventure Results

Posted Sun, 06/13/2010 - 20:26 by Mark

What a day on Fromme!  On this past Saturday, June 12, 163 Adventurers' took part in Wade's Excellent Adventure vying for the Fromme Cup!  The weather was spectacular even if the trails were still slippery in spots with 3 weeks of most often rain prior to the big day.  But the clouds cleared and it was a glorious day!

Wade's Excellent Adventure raised $3500 for the trails of Fromme!

The teams assembled at the starting line and the Corporate Teams were first out of the gate, followed only two minutes later by citizen class.  By the time it was finished, Team BFJCC representing Cove Bikes had won the Fromme Cup with the fastest time of the day at 3:29:21.  The Citizen division was won by Team Pennywise, a two person team comprised of the Traslin Brothers in 3:32:23. 

CORPORATE 1. BFJCC (Cove) 3:29:21     2. Fake Runkle did it (MEC) 4:11:15     3. Norco 4:41:50
