Ted Hanes, Momentum Endurance athlete since ’07, was the fastest amateur racer at the 48 mile Ore to Shore MTB race thus earning rights to the Golden Bike. In a field comprised of the fastest regional riders Ted finished 8th overall, right in the mix with the pro licensed riders. This Ore to Shore went down in history as the fastest one yet.
Coming off of a recent Lactate Threshold training block Ted was able to establish himself near the front early on (without the luxury of a preferred start) and stayed there for the full duration of the race. His dedication to training has really shown this season with consistently stronger results.
As the Golden Bike winner, Ted will have the chance to compete all expenses paid in the Landmine Classic at Hingham, MA on September 13th. This will be the final stop of the Gold Bike Series so it’s sure to be a hotly contested race. Here’s to Ted’s excellent Ore to Shore result and his chance to race for the bike once again! Congrats,
