Cascade Cycling Classic - Time Trial

Cascade Classic introduced a new course to the peloton today with the Crooked River Time Trial. The flat, winding road cuts through a lush river valley in the central Oregon desert as it slowly rises towards Prineville Reservoir.

 

8 miles out and 8 miles back, the aero track allowed strongmen back into the GC equation via large time gaps. Jamis/Sutterhome racer Luis Amaran took full advantage of the day with a convincing victory, moving into the Yellow Jersey with a 31:19 ride.

 

Nate English and Michael Creed also broke 32 minutes to earn the podium and make major moves in the standings before a return to the mountains tomorrow.
