Quad of Mongo’s Race Strong!
Team Mongo was well represented this past weekend at the 20th Iceman Cometh. Jon Bennett, Andy Correll, and the Larson Brothers, Bob and Gary, competed and finished strong. On a day that will better be known for its incredible November weather, 50 degrees and sunny, the Iceman provided for a great event for more than 3900 riders from all over the world. To quote Ray Dybowski of the Wolverine Sports Club, “If you missed the 2009 ICEMAN, WOW, you missed a great one!” Ray, a Team Mongo Bike Coach, enjoyed both the race and the weather as he worked his way to a second place finish in the Elite Clydesdale Group. Way to go Ray.
A special thanks to Tom Demerly who has been great to promote Team Mongo when he is announcing; “It was so cool to be at the start, with all those Elite Bikers and have the Announcer specifically recognize Team Mongo!” said Jon Bennett. “Tom mentioned the great stuff that we do in the community, which was awesome!” Andy Correll echoed Jon’s Comments, “While we were waiting for our wave to start, the announcer spotted Jon’s Mongo kit and took a minute to praise the team and all that they’ve done for the community. It was really unexpected as there were literally hundreds of guys all lined up for our start.”
The Race was face paced, fun, and sandy too. Although there were numerous crashes, we are glad to report that all Team Mongo riders finished safely. Here are the results:
- Jon Bennett 1:51:47, 16th in Age Group
- Andy Correll 2:03:22, 77th in Age Group
- Bob Larson 2:11:29, 23rd in Age Group
- Gary Larson 2:30:59, 52nd in Age Group
Gentlemen, WELL DONE! We are all proud of you and your efforts. Rumors have it that Team Mongo will be out in force in 2010. Can’t wait until next year!
