The Best All-Around Rider Award (Male/Female) at the year end banquet is awarded to the TT racer who has the highest overall average speed over all 3 race distances combined(15k, 20k, and 40k).  

Below is a quick screen shot of the current standings.  If you recall, this came down to the wire in 2012 with Don Gilmore narrowly edging out Paul Auton by a miniscule 0.23km/hr average over 75km of time trialing!  This year Don holds a commanding lead to date, but the battle for the rest of the podium is tight as you can see.

The final TT of the year is this Thursday, August 29th.  It's a 15k, let's have a big crowd out for the finale.  Rehydration afterwards!

Updated points based on the 27-Aug-2013 Boxwood race. The tie between Ian Smith and Justin Mark was broken with a head-to-head comparison with Ian winning that by a single point.

MIVA Boxwood Criterium 13/08/27 30 lap criterium

As Iain Hay and son Brodie were setting up the course for tonight's race, ominous clouds were gathering and the first drops of rain were heralding the advance of a steady downpour. Still, there were ten stalwart souls who were going to ride, whatever the weather. It was decided to cut the event to thirty laps and to dispense with the primes as a safety measure and at 6.35pm, the pack, including youth riders Abigail and Aiden Hare set off.

The first couple of laps were neutralised to allow Aiden and Abigail the opportunity of riding in the group for a while and then the race proper started, with Iain Hay already five seconds up on the rest of the bunch, taking advantage of his wet weather skills. Abigail was still managing to hang onto the back end of the seniors, with Aiden already several lengths back and by lap four, both had lost contact and continued with their own contest.

Iain was soon back in the pack since no-one else was prepared to join him and for the balance of the race everyone stayed together. The final sprint was predictable and the top for places from two weeks ago were repeated, with Justin mark out sprinting Hay for the win with Nick Kupiak third and Mike Sevcov rounding out the top four. Justin's win put him just two points ahead of Nick in the series standings but, with two events left, Kupiak still has a chance to take overall honours.

In the youth event, Abigail Hare showed her improved speed by lapping her brother just before the finish to tie up the women's youth contest.

Thanks to MLA Doug Routley, a MIVA member, Glen Gordon and Brodie Hay for doing a great if soggy stint as marshals and to Jason Hare for a photographic record.

With the series close to wrapping down, here are the updated results. A bit of a shakeup on the Senior Men's podium with Justin Mark storming the last two races and moving up from 8th to 3rd overall. With three more races on the schedule, it's statistically still possible for Justin, Nick or Ray to join Ian with 60 points. Where this could get interested is that any ties will be broken by examining the riders' head-to-head scores (i.e.: total points for races in which both riders competed).
