Keith Wineland tapped the field at ro und five af th e RMTA Trials Series at the Riding Rock Ranch. Rocky Mountain Trials Association Round 5: Riding Rock Ranch Wineland Bottles :#Ate~:~~er Win FLORISSANT, CO, JULY 25 A fter a week of unseasonably cold and rainy weather, RMTA /"'\ride rs were treated to bright and warm conditions at round five of the championship ser ies, held at the Riding Rock Ranch near Florissant, Co lorado. The previous week's rain did leave its mark, though, as many sections remained slippery throug ho ut the day, contributing to the techn ical (tho ugh safe) nature ofthe day's eve nt . And technical it was, as loo p scores in the 20s and 305 were the norm fo r the day in mos t classes. Champ-class rider Keith Wineland con tinued his winning streak, posting a total score of 10 for his three loops' work. Riding smoothly and confidently, Wineland has yet to be beaten this season. Zach Cleme nt challenged early, posting th ree points to Wineland 's two after the first loop , but he faded in the final two loo ps as he co ntinued to battle the pain from a separated shoulder. Nevertheless, Clement hung tough to finish seco nd o n t he day w it h a total score of 28 . Mon te sa-mo unt e d Stevie Darrow rou nded out the to p three . Advanced-class action was the tightest of the day, with all the riders separate d by on ly fo ur po ints at th e con clusio n of the second loo p. With scores in the mid- to high-20s and very few cleans , the win was up for grabs heading into the third loo p. "I was just trying to keep from getting any fives on the last loop ," Nicole Bradford said at the conclusion of the third loop . Bradford's stra tegy paid off big. PosL a 17-point final loo p, ing she separated herself from the pack by 10 po ints to take the class win - her first of the season . Patrick How ie and Ian Smith tied on the day with BO-point scores, but Howie was awarded the second-place position based on tie breakers. Cory Willo ughby was the Novice-class winner, but that also was decided by tie breakers. Secon d-place finisher Mike Moore kept Willoughby on his toes, beating him on the first loo p by one point and follow ing that up by giving up two on the second loo p. Moo re once again beat Willoughby by one o n loop three to tie the score, only to lose o n cleans . Katie Sonju rounded out the podium, finishing I I points back fo r th ird. The RMT thanked Gary and Rose Owens for so graciouslyand A generously opening up the ir land, and especially for Rose's handpainted trophies, wh ich helped make this a trulyspecial event. eN RESULT5 JR A: I.
