August Happenings

August 14-15 Weekend
Quick updates from last weekend...

-Sarah has been spending some time on the track in BC and hopped into a crit in Steveston last weekend. Got herself on the podium again!

-Tricia headed out to the Bromont Canada Cup. It sounded like a challenging and technical course (with the first half of each loop climbing and the second half a technical decent). She was 11th out of 20 finishers and 26 starters. Good job Tricia!

-I raced in Elliot Lake, which was a fun adventure (and an 8 hour drive!). Over the weekend there was a crit, a hill climb and a road race. The crit course was a bit challenging, with a downhill/off camber corner and rain starting 10 minutes before the race finished!

The hill climb was the result I was most excited about over the weekend, 8th place, and only 32 seconds behind the winner, over 3.5k. I think (hope?) this shows improvement in my climbing. The road race ended up a bunch sprint, where I was 8th again.

Just so this post doesn't become too long, I won't go into too much detail... but some other stellar August results for Stevens Racing p/b The Cyclery ladies:

-Sue set another OBC TT record on August 12th, going under 20 minutes - a feat only accomplished by a handful of men ... awesome!

-Michelle got on the podium at GP Cycliste Vaudreuil-Soulange, August 8th. Nicely done!

-Lastly, although slightly (haha) less prestigious than the OBC TT, I set a new ladies course record at the Speed River Club TT this evening. Lots of fun.
