2012 Zealous Racing Iowa Cup pb Tompkins Industries Round #4

Posted on May 29, 2012 by

Another fun and exciting weekend of Iowa Racing is done and with it so is round #4 of the Iowa Cup. In the Men’s Elite race Matias worked to cement his lead while Carpenter jumped up to second place. Thus helping Mercy open their gap over BikesToYou in the team standings.

In the Women’s Elite, strong showing by Kim Eppen and Vanessa Curtis has Mercy controlling the podium placings in the individual race and opening a virtually unsurmountable lead in the team competition.

The Men’s 3s have Rekemeyer, Wandy, and Kullbom fighting over the podium spots. While Lincoln Eppard and Joe Peterson have a one point difference between them for first place in the Men’s 4s. Nicole Fiala continues to lead the Women’s 4s with Catherine McMullen making ground on her.

Chris Eastburn has opened up a sizable gap on Greg harper in the Masters 50+, but the 40+ race continues to be close between Cochran and Deninger.

Zealous Racing Weekend Wrap Up

Posted on May 14, 2012 by

I have lots of people to thank for this weekend, but most importantly is my wife Sheri. Without her, none of this would have happened. I would also really like to thank all the people that traveled from all over the midwest to come race with us for the last two days and made the weekend a success for us. The crowds at Water Works and on Breeder’s hill were spectacular, and the 20 juniors we had at Water Works was well worth the time and effort the team put in to make the event happen.

Next round of the Iowa Cup is happening over on the east side of the state over the Memorial Day weekend. Thanks again for coming out!

Zealous Racing and Tompkins Industries Race Weekend

Posted on April 30, 2012 by

Back for another year is the race at the state fairgrounds with a new name. Breeders Hill Criterium is the same great course with all new asphalt on Breeder’s Hill, and another increase to the pay outs. So make sure to come back for some Snake Alley practice and valuable Iowa Cup points.

We are also happy to announce the return of the Water Works Park circuit race. Water Works was kind enough to completely repave the old loop, and mother nature was willing to hold back the flooding. For those of you who missed out on these races in the past, you are sure to enjoy a crowd favorite.

Online registration is now open over at USA Cycling, and will remain open until the night before each race. So save yourself the hassle of day of registration and some money with early registration discounts. Hope to see everyone there.

Tompkins Elkhart TT #1 Results

Posted on April 13, 2012 by

Thanks to all the riders who came out yesterday for the first of this year’s Topmkins Eklhart Time Trial Series.  Baseline times for the year were set under sprinkling skies dry and moderate south wind.  On the men’s side Jon Toftoy (Eden Prairie, MN) set the time to beat so far with a blistering 15:57, one of the fastest times we’ve ever had in an April round.  On the women’s side, Loren Uscilowski (Des Moines / VeloRosa) won with a 19:30.

We also learned last night that Kippy’s Place in Elkhart has a nice patio for when it warms up this summer and some humongous tacos!

Thanks as always to our volunteers and official Bruce Pesch for helping keeping everything safe and smooth out there.

Official results have been posted at the USA Cycling website. See you all in May!

2012 Zealous Racing Iowa Cup pb Tompkins Industries

Posted on April 9, 2012 by

The Iowa Cup is back again in 2012 for what we hope is another exciting year of racing. We have been working hard with promotors this spring to get everything lined up to keep the same benefits that the leaders have had the last couple of years, and slight changes to the Iowa schedule has led to some shuffling for us, but we think its going to be worth it.

In its 7 years of existence, the Iowa Cup competition has really become a part of the fabric of Iowa Cycling. It’s the best points system we have to truly recognize the best road racers in the state in each category.

For a 3rd year, Zealous Consulting is back with us as a team, but we have a new title sponsor for the Iowa Cup in Tompkins Industries. The format and schedule will be very similar to previous years, however, we are always looking for ways to improve the series, including awards and a proper awards ceremony. With East Village no longer the last race in the series, and not wanting to infringe on the State Road Race awards ceremony, we will be looking to host something to present awards after that day. Watch for details on those fronts, as they come. (there are whisperings of award tshirts again…)
