Week Two Race Report
Boxwood Criterium - Tuesday Evening
Tuesday night saw favorable weather and a decent turnout for the second race of the season. In the B Race, seven riders took the field with Gord and Shep getting out front to set a strong tempo. In the end though youth rider Jack Mace showed that he's been paying attention to the coaching, and passed them both with a well-timed sprint at the finish line. In the A race, Jason Basaur tried several times to establish a break and get away from the main bunch and stayed off the front for a large portion of the race. In the end though he was chased down, unable to match the sprint from Jaymi Dumper who easily powered past the rest of the riders.
River Road Time Trial - Thursday Evening
Thursday night’s time trial brought cool damp conditions for a 20km event. 9 riders came out to test their legs, this being the first hard effort in two years for some. Jaymi Dumper once again showed that he's the one to watch this season with a time of 30:43, edging out James Sage who suffered mechanical issues, and Jason Basaur who paced his ride with a 3km run in the back of his mind.
Next week
Next week’s criterium will again be a B race starting at 6:30pm, with the A race at 7pm. Thursday’s time trial will be replaced with the Witchcraft Lake Hill Climb - Check the calendar for details.
