Junior and “experienced” riders from around the nation headed to southeastern Wisconsin at the end of June for American cycling’s premier event of the season — national championships.

With the time trial essentially in our back yard (yeah, never mind those two- to five-hour drives home), a half dozen GVR riders went to the line for across four different age and gender groupings.

Matt Hall was the first to the line where he finished 16th.

Matt Becker powered to an 12th-place finish in his age group.

Jon Lester was 12th, Nate Phelps 16th and Derek Moran 16th in their age grouping.

On the women’s side, Julie Phelps rode to a 5th-place age group finish followed by Sally Lester in 8th.
