Show CaptionsHide Captions

After a spring of wet conditions, it was perhaps only fitting the Rocky Mountain weather gods ordered up heavy rainfall in time for Wednesday’s season-opening event of the Summit Mountain Challenge mountain bike series, the Frisco Roundup. Due to the rain, all races, save some junior divisions, were postponed a day. Once Thursday came along, though, pristine early summer Summit County weather greeted more than 100 mountain bikers who returned to the Frisco Adventure Day Park Lodge.

In total, 26 divisions of more than 170 riders took to the trails at the Adventure Park and surrounding Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area on Wednesday and Thursday. In the end, the winner of the Expert Men 40-49 division, Jeremey Reimer of Silverthorne, rode to the fastest overall time on the two-lap course. The best women’s time on Thursday was earned by Veronika Hewitt of Dillon, who rode in the Expert + Singlespeed Women division.

The Summit Mountain Challenge is scheduled to return with the annual Gold Run Rush event on June 19 in the Wellington and Lincoln Park neighborhoods of Breckenridge. Until then, here are the podium-placers in each division from the Frisco Roundup:
