Course Records (2) Meghan Gillmore 34:23 (-0:30) Ayden Houle 32:49 (-0:15)

Personal Bests (7) Lorrie Baildham 33:20 Lorraine Hepting 39:06 Wendy Hicks 39:36 Matthys Redelinghuys 31:38 Derek Steel 33:52 Meghan Gillmore 34:23 Ayden Houle 22:49

Janna Gillick led the female category with a good race, only 44 seconds off her course record, this on tired legs after a week of suffering (and placing top 10) at BC SuperWeek on the mainland. Lorrie Baildham, the current series leader tied her personal best in a quick 33:20, followed by Rose Houle in 37:37. Both Cycle Therapy riders Lorraine Hepting and Wendy Hicks set PBs on the final 20k of the year, nice work!

Paul Auton took the male group in 28:28, followed closely by Johan Lindkvist in his first 20k TT (29:34). Patrick Burnham narrowly took 3rd on the podium in 31:30. Matthys Redelinghuys set a massive personal best tonight in 31:38, averaging just a sliver under 38 km/hr! Early this season Matthys rode a respectable 34:17, but his hard work has lowered his PB by 2 1/2 minutes. Great way to close out your TT season! Derek Steel also set a PB tonight knocking 42 seconds off his best 20k time!

Meghan Gillmore set a new Youth Female course record in 34:23, knocking 30 seconds off the CR! To show how far Meghan has come, in 2015 she raced a 42:08 in her opening 20k. Nearly 8 MINUTES is incredible. Ayden Houle came with his game face on ready to ride as he set a new Youth Male course record in 32:49 (averaging 36.6km/hr), knocking 15 seconds off his old record.

The BAR (Best All Around Rider) Standings don't move much, updated after tonight to read:

The Series Standings have fleshed themselves out a bit more as well, with Ayden Houle clinching the Youth Male TT Title, and Abigail Hare taking the Youth Female TT crown. The mens race will have a repeat winner with Paul Auton clinching another trophy. The womens race has yet to be decided, with Lorrie Baildham holding a 106-96 lead over Janna Gillick going into next weeks final race.

TT#10 of 16 on the season was a nice night after on again off again storms all day/week long. Temps and attendance were low but times were still fast. A big thank you again to our volunteers, and to Jason Hare for doing the hour drive (each way) to time an event neither of his kids could race in. The number of hours board members put in behind the scenes can't be understated and their efforts are so appreciated.
