O'Neill, Powers win Mt. Hood opener
Nathan O'Neill (Health Net-Maxxis) and Alison Powers (Rio Grande-Sports Garage) won the opening stage of the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic on Wednesday in Hood River, Oregon.
O'Neill covered the three-mile time trial stage in six minutes and seven seconds. Powers did it in 7:17.
The course gained only 150 feet in elevation, but it was not flat. Riders were greeted with a steep hill immediately out of the start house followed by a descent of more than a mile and a steep climb at the finish.
Second for the men was Ryan Trebon (AEG-Toshiba-Jetnetwork) in 6:16, followed by Ian McKessick (Recycled Cycles) in 6:23.
Second for the women was Dotsie Bausch (Colavita-Cooking Light) in 7:17, followed by Suz Weldon (TRIA) in 7:30.
On Thursday the men are slated to race 84 miles over a mostly flat, technical and possibly windy course. The women will race 56 miles over the same roads.
