Congratulations Brad Nauman, 2009 Sport Series Champion - and winner of the Sigma light set!

Well, we finally got the 2009 Jubilee Challenge in the books!! I wanted to take a minute and thank EVERYBODY involved in getting this thing going - especially our Race Coordinators Tony and Howie, our Registration Ladies, all of our Patrollers and Course Marshalls, Robert as always for being our mechanic, and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that came out and raced. Another big thanks to all of our sponsors (SKS, Hammer Nutrition, ALL of our local bike shops, etc) Oh, and I can't forget to thank Mother Nature for FINALLY letting us get this race in. Thanks to everyone that showed up for your patience and understanding with all of the re-scheduling that had to be dealt with. I know our Race Coordinators will have the results page updated as quickly as they can. In the mean time, everyone get ready for the race next weekend in the Quad Cities at Scott County.
