Rain throughout the day indicated that there would be am small field for tonight's 40km 3 person team time trial. Since none of those who showed up were already in teams and since there was the threat of still more rain, it was decided to do a 20km ITT. First off was Kristy Lee Mighton, in only her second time trial. At the turn she was on a good pace but unfortunately she flatted with just over 3 kilometers to go. She was fortunate to get a lift back to her vehicle as the lack of a spare tube would have meant a long walk in cleats.

Rhona Lettau was next off and rode a very uneventful race to finish in exactly 37 minutes. She was followed by Patrick Burnham on his fixed wheel who beat his previous best 20km time

For all you wannabe's, latent TV stars, and real racers, come on out to the Boxwood Criterium next Tuesday evening. If you have old or new MIVA clothing, please wear it - spectators as well. The club wants to make a good impression on cable TV! If there are 4 or more women, there will be a separate race for you.

Not much to report on this one. Mark Wieler took the first prime but totally emptied his energy bucket doing so and was promptly dropped. For most of the race, the packed stayed more or less together. Early breaks by Sean Lunny and Shepherd Stewart came to naught. But a solo effort by Ray Wagner, who stayed away for 8 laps, taking the second prime in the process, almost worked. However, by the bell for the third prime, the pack was together again and Ian Smith edged Paul Thompson to take the flag. The fourth prime was only 2 laps later so Ian kept up the effort and took that one as well. Immediately after this last intermediate sprint, Smith and Mike Sevcov drifted off the front but were brought back within a lap. With just 2 laps to go, OBB's Sean Lunny made a last ditch attempt to go it alone and for a moment, it looked as if he might stay away from the chasing bunchWith one lap to go, Lunny was still about 8 seconds clear but at the line, Ian Smith had exploded from the pack and beat Lunny by just 3 seconds with Paul Thompson winning the bunch sprint a further 2 seconds back.

Last weekend there were three events in Victoria: the Russ Hays time trial on Dallas Rd. on the Friday, the Provincial Road Championships on the Saturday, and the Bastion Square criterium on Sunday. Janna Gillick rode all three events and had some remarkable results as she is still a catogery 3 and working on accumulating points to get her to second category. In Friday's time trial, Janna finished second,  only 8  seconds out of first place. But her best ride was in the provincial road race. She is good at 'reading' race development and was able to bridge to the race winning break. Eventually she finished sixth, not bad for a first year cat. 3 rider!

In the Bastion Square criterium, Janna was competing against a number of other riders who were much fresher than she, having opted out of the provincial championships. Her tiredness showed and eventually she was left out the back of the pack and rode on alone, albeit strongly. She was eventually pulled when she was lapped by the bunch.

Some weekend Janna, and a portent of things to come.
