MIVA Boxwood Criterium 130806
42 lap criterium w. 5 primes
For most of the race tonight, the pack stayed together, although there were numerous attempts to get a break going. Justin Mark from Speed Cycles was very active and took three of the intermediate primes but just couldn't get away. After challenging Justin for the first prime, Chris Cameron stayed quietly in the bunch. Other strong riders including Ian Smith, Ray Wagner, Paul Thompson and Mike Sevcov also were involved in break attempts but to no avail. With twelve laps left, Nick Kupiak and Paul Thompson opened up a six second gap but again failed to get away and the bunch was back together for the fourth prime which was won by Ian Smith. With eight laps left, Ray Wagner made yet another break attempt and, seeing the danger, Nick bridged and the duo stayed up to ten seconds up for the next four laps, Ray taking the final prime in the process. However, the pack finally came to life and managed to pull the two escapees back with two laps remaining The last lap was the fastest, being covered in 1' 34" but Kupiak made one final effort and, showing his class, finished five seconds ahead of Chris Cameron who took the sprint for second, ahead of Ian Smith, Mike Sevcov and Justin Mark.
In the youth event, Aiden Hare and older sister Abigail rode together until a lap from the end when Abigail puked away from her brother to win by sixteen seconds..
Thanks to Jason Hare, Paul Callow, Mark Wieler for marshalling and to Iain and Brodie Hay for course set up and take down.
The remaining 2013 criteriums will all be held on the Boxwood circuit.
MIVA 20km Time Trial
Nanaimo River Road. 130801
Tonight saw the biggest turnout of the year for the last twenty kilometre time trial of the season. There were a few new faces, including a visitor from the U.K. - Ian Brown of the Brenton Wheelers - who had some very nice things to say about the Nanaimo River Road course and the organisation. The wind had dropped and the cooler temperature provided the opportunity to do some fast times.
In fact, there were a number of personal bests for the course: Shawn Boyd, Justin Mark (Speed Cycle), Nick Kupiak (first tt this year), Patrick Burnham with his fixed wheel, ever young septuagenerian Dave Steen, Matt Evans, Lorrie Baildham, Chad Dalrymple, Mike Gill, Jamie Gauthier, and youth riders Ian Gillmore ( new male youth course record) and Aiden Hare (warning for drafting).
The mens category was won by Don Gillmore, still wearing road rash from his crash in the Tuesday Arbutus criterium. First woman was Lorrie Baildham, and winning youth male was Ian Gillmore.
Thanks to Jason Hare for holding the starters and to Reagan Lovig for acting as turn marshal.
