| A cool evening with a slight, rising breeze on the home leg, and a |
| damp road meant really fast conditions for tonight's 15km time trial. |
| the women's event was won by Janna Gillick, who finished with an |
| identical time to her ride last week. |
| The big news was in the men's race, where Alberta import Cyrus |
| Kangarloo came within 21 seconds of Don Gilmores course record. |
| Cyrus is staying in Lake Cowichan for a few weeks and says he will |
| be a regular competitor in both the time trials and in the Tuesday |
| night criteriums. In other performances, Corey Friesen beat his last |
| week's time by 4 seconds whilst Charles Hamer improved by 39 seconds. |
| Thanks to John Hannon, who is still nursing broken ribs, for marshaling the |
| turn. |
| Next week's event is a 15km 2 person team time trial, so riders should |
| select their team mates early.

The Mid Island Velo Association executive has recently appointed Iain Hay as the club's volunteer coordinator. All organisers have problems getting enough helpers to run a safe and well-run event. Without these volunteers, there would be no races, so get your name in to Iain at roubaix5312@hotmail.com. Remember, all volunteers who are MIVA members will get 5 points towards their series totals each time they help out
