RoadBikeRides.com Monthly Contest Leader Board – Samantha Newman takes the win!

RoadBikeRides.com has a monthly contest leader-board where each month the RoadBikeRides.com member that accumulates the most points for contributing to the site wins a prize.

Samantha Newman pictured below takes the win for the month of April 2008. It was a close race for 1st place. Samantha Newman went wheel to wheel with Mike Weiland and edged out Mike by less than 100 points. RoadBikeRides.com will be sending her a brand new Garmin Edge 305.

RoadBikeRides.com will have an ongoing monthly contest. Each month a prize will be awarded to the RoadBikeRides.com member who has the most points for the month.

The race to the Yellow Jersey Contest for the $10,000 cash prize is currently a close race between Samantha and Mike but there is still plenty of time left for others to bridge the gap and compete for the $10,000 cash prize.

CONGRATULATIONS SAMANTHA NEWMAN!
