Season
By the
Numbers

Three men didn't miss a single ride this season. Through heat, fatigue, and whatever else life throws at a cyclist on a Tuesday morning — Claude Luu, Allen I, and Thomas U were always at the start line. Thomas also racked up 80 PRs along the way.

Donald Hersam won 8 out of the 21 GC titles — that's more than one in three races. With an average finishing rank of #1.3 and a spread of just ±0.6 positions, he's the most consistent top performer in the men's field by a significant margin. He also strung together a 3-race winning streak.

Jim Palmer set 111 personal records in 20 rides — an average of 5.5 PRs every single time he showed up. That's not just improving; that's systematically dismantling his own previous bests across every segment on every route.

A Moon Mission (April 14) was the season's PR massacre. 597 personal records set across 11 segments — so many that at least 10 riders hit the theoretical maximum of 11 PRs in a single outing. Something about that route had everyone flying.

Consistency is its own discipline. Donald Hersam's GC rank barely moved — averaging #1.3 with a standard deviation of just 0.6. Hannon Ayer is the consistency dark horse: averaging #7.4 over 18 rides with a spread of only ±1.6 — a metronome in the middle of the pack.
