Cleves TT Results 5/19

[Patrick McMullen]

The weather last evening in Cleves made for some fast times.  We were blessed with high temps, high humidity (no rain), high Air Density Altitude (almost 3’000’) and a wind out of the southwest at 12 mph!

We had one new rider who drove from Bowling Green, KY to join the fun.  A big welcome to Bella Kroutil, a 17-year-old junior racer who only recently returned from racing in The Netherlands.  She is currently training for a spot on the US Olympic Team (racing as a pro for Fount Cycling Guild).  Her nine road races so far in 2026 have resulted in four 1st Places and four 2nd Places!  It is also interesting to note that Bella finished 2nd in our very own Whiskey City Challenge in 2025 in the Women’s Cat 1/2/3 Race (as a junior!).

Thanks to Ginny Lenahan and Steve Terschak for assisting at the Start/Finish!
