The Aquafina Tour de Lake drew 132 racers for the 12th visitation of the round-the-lake race. Pro/Experts and Sport riders pedaled 30K, while the junior sports, beginners, and non-point racers toured the lake only once, with a 15K course. While the course took its toll on chains, tubes, seat posts, shocks and derailleurs - not to mention many a rider's skin - Pro/Expert TJ Platt rode a super fast 30K race, finishing up his 30K tour in 1 hour and 40 minutes. The unofficial race board top three per class; Men's Pro/Expert Open: TJ Platt, Steve Hill, Joey Riddle Women's Pro/Expert OPen: Cassie Smith, Mandi Riddle, Christine Buerke.
