3-State 3-Mountain
2004 Ride Results
The weather gods were not perfect
but the weather was a lot better than it could have been. Unfortunately the
quick storms that we did have were just enough to make the mountain descents
quite slippery. However we had lots of volunteers and support people on the
course to help slow people down. The 2004 3-State 3-Mountain Challenge was the biggest and most
successful event we have had. With 1025 participants and 998 registered riders it set all
records for us. What a great time! And what wonderful participants. The sight of
cyclists lead by Mayor Corker and stretching as far as you could see was
something to behold.
Thanks to all who helped make this
event possible. We couldn't do it without every one of you. The City of
Chattanooga was absolutely wonderful with their support. We had the cones put
out at the end but the crossing guards were a gift from the city. What a
wonderful way to say 'Welcome to Chattanooga'. They were there supporting us all
along the way. Next year will really be big with the grand opening of the
waterfront and the Four Bridges Art Festival all happening at the same time.
Note: These results are not exact.
They are the best we could figure out. When riders came in as a group and didn't
display their numbers we may have missed some. Also we had a few
duplicate numbers recorded and don't know what the error was. I also have a lot
of patches left over so if you would like one and didn't get it after the ride,
just contact Daisy. So please help us
out. If you
see information that you know is incorrect and can help us find the correct information, please
email Daisy at DaisyBRider@cs.com.
Thanks to the Birds Eye View, photos
from Suck Creek Mountain and Burkhalter Gap are available at their web site
www.birdseyeview.net. They are listed
by time and include instructions on how to purchase. Steve Thomas, one of our members, has
taken some great candid shots from the start and various places on the course.
They are digital this year so will be easier to get out on this site. If anyone has any pictures of the
ride and can send them to me, we would love to include them on this site.
Results are still under construction and
will be added as built.
Remember, this is all in fun. The object is to enjoy the ride.
Congratulations! to all who survived
the 3-State 3-Mountain Challenge!
