MIVA KILPATRICK HILL CLIMB 130926

The fourth event in the MIVA climb series series was held on the 3.2 kilometre Kilpatrick/Benson View roads, finishing opposite Witchcraft Lake. Like the Aho Road race, it was a massed event withal with all participants starting together. After a kilometre, six of the ten starters were still together but soon afterwards, Mike Gill dropped back. after a brief attempt to regain contact, he settled into his high cadence and continued alone, between the leaders and the slower riders.The lead pack reached the sharp right hand turn onto Benson View and, as the road kicked up to twelve percent, first Phil Birrer and then Sean de Pol were dropped. Now only MIvA rider Nick Kupiak, Justin Mark, Steed Cycles and Doug Merrick, CVCC were left. First Nick and then Justin turned on the juice, leaving Doug to find his own way to the finish. As road dipped down slightly before the final two hundred metre rise, Steed and Kupiak were still together and that's the way they finished, with just 0.2seconds separating them. These two have battled each other for the first four hill climbs with Justin winning three and Nick one. The final two events will give Nick the chance to catch his Vancouver opponent. The lone woman, For Theresa Price, UBC Tri club, this was her first hill climb and also her first start in a MIVA event. She has just relocated to take a position at NRGH and weare sure to see more of her. Abigail Hare finished behind Theresa for the female youth category and brother Aiden brought up the rear for male youth.Thanks to shutterbug Patrick Burnham for taking some photos, which should be upon the web soon.

Final Criterium Standings

With Ian Smith a no-show last night, Justin Mark wrapped up the series, winning the Senior Men title. Second place was Ian Smith who started off the season strong, but faltered to Justin during August and September. Finishing a strong third was Nick Kupiak, who went from being dropped in April, to winning races in July.  

In the Senior Women, Charlene Hay went uncontested as she was the only one to complete the required five race minimum.

 

In the Youth Men, Brodie Hay walked away with the win, regularly placing ahead of many of the Senior Men. The second place rider, Aiden Hare, is deserving of a mention. In addition to having perfect attendance since the start of July, he's also showed vast improvement on his speed and bike-handling skills. He's certainly one to watch as he moves into his teens.

 

In the Youth Women, Abigail Hare hung in there to take the win, showing great promise as she becomes a stronger and stronger cyclist.

 

Overall, our series attracted a grand total 61 riders. Thank you to all who participated - and a big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with marshaling, scoring and course take-down. See you next season!
