HEARTBREAK HUNDRED RIDE RESULTS
100 miles - 8,500 feet of climbing
Stage Three of the King of the Mountains Century Challenge

The weather was perfect for the 2009 Heartbreak Hundred -- and riders turned in super fast times on this one-of-a-kind course!

Congratulations to everyone who rode Heartbreak to complete the third stage of the King of the Mountains Century Challenge! All Official Finishers received a pair of the exclusive Planet Ultra 2009 King of the Mountains finisher socks, and earned the right to wear the awesome King of the Mountains Official Finisher jersey, vests and shorts. The top riders were awarded awesome trophies, courtesy of Planet Ultra, and prizes donated by VDO Altimeter/Cyclometer, Hammer Nutrition and  Detours. The support and enthusiasm for the King of the Mountains Century Challenge is incredible - and we thank all the riders and volunteers who made it great!

Special thanks to our friends at Bicycle Johns who hosted a wonderful and delicious finish-line barbecue! Riders sure appreciated the great hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, cookies and cold drinks after a long day in the saddle! For those of you who don't know, Bicycle Johns is one of the very best bike shops in Southern California - with four locations: Burbank, Northridge, Acton and Lancaster. The folks at Bicycle Johns are passionate and enthusiastic about cycling - and they wanted to show their appreciation not only to their customers, but to all of the dedicated distance cyclists who make our sport great. In addition to the great post-ride fiesta, Bicycle Johns is raffling off some great prizes, including a Serotta frame! And everyone who participated in either the Mulholland Challenge or Heartbreak Hundred is eligible to win.

Heartfelt thanks the the wonderful volunteers who made this Heartbreak Hundred particularly awesome!
