Craig sets course record on his rigid singlespeed

Adam Craig won the Test of Endurance and set a course record.

    Adam Craig (Giant) and Karen Dewolf (Team Dirt) took home wins at the Test of Endurance 50-miler in Oregon on Saturday.

    Right from the start, the pace was intense. A group of 15 emerged from the mass start. Then Craig and Barry Wicks (Kona) jumped away together to build a 1:30 lead over Erik Tonkin. By the end of lap one, Sean Babcock (S & M), Ben Thompson (Cannondale), Evan Plews (Capitol Subaru Cycling), and Bret Nichols (Rivercity) were working hard together to try to reel them in.

    Craig was onboard his 35 x 16 fully rigid singlespeed, and he let his legs do the talking as he powered up the climbs with Wicks in tow. The two traded places and took their breaks together. Craig took the lead in the final five miles for good - on his way to setting a course record.

    In the women's race, Karen Dewolf (Team Dirt) dominated and won with a time of 5:06:01. She was just three minutes off the time of 5:06:01, set by 2008 winner Sue Butler. Dewolf was also just four minutes off the course record logged by Angela Sucich in 2005.

    The team competition pitted long-time rivals, S and M verses Capitol Subaru and the rest of the field with Team S & M Sean Spencer Wicks Explosion.Jere taking first place and the US$500 award over Capitol Subaru Cycling by 1:04. Team S & M Speedwagon won the masters 35+ team category by beating Team Award Beating Cyclepath by 19 minutes. Team Dirt "Out for Dirt" finished third.
