The 2011 B24 saw record lap times, both day and night! Julia Tellman peeled off the fastest laps among female competitors. Her fast day lap was timed at 41:15.547 followed by a lap in the dark at 44:44.543. Julia earned $150 from Boone Bike & Touring and a Seca 700 from Light & Motion. Not a bad haul for two fast laps! The dude’s competition was tight! Bradford Perley scored the fast day lap with a time of 33:16.121. Defending fast lap winner Tristian Cowie turned a 33:18.606 followed by Bradford’s teammate, Sott Fredrick at 33:25.120. Those cats were smokin’ it! Bradford scored $150 from Boone Bike & Touring for his effort. Alex Ryan turned an impressive lap under the cover of darkness that would typically rival any fast day lap. He was timed at 35:18.688 and took home a retina scorching Seca 700 from Light & Motion for BURNing up the night. It’s worth mentioning that Alex comes from the same team as Bradford and Scott Fredrick. These guys along with their Champion System/Cannondale teammates set a new record in the 3 – 5 man category turning 40 laps overall.

If you were racing in the 2011 BURN, I’m guessing you didn’t realize you were sharing the trail with a 2012 Specialized test mule with a $10K estimated value. You probably missed the Carroll Composites full carbon 29er hardtail. There was even a sub 21 pound carbon 29er from Performance on the singletrack at Dark Mountain. Well, we missed it too but that’s why we’re race promoters and not journalists. We’ll leave that to Tyler and the crew at Bikerumor.com. They’ve definitely got an eye for this stuff. Afterall, that’s their job! Click on the links above to get the 411 on the test rigs in use at the B24! Thanks for bringing us the scoop Bikerumor.
