The second last crit of the season saw our largest turn out in several weeks with 21 riders taking a gamble on the weather to come out and play. It was especially fortunate that the weather held off with 8 CVAA riders making the trip down from Comox/Courtenay. Having Evan Luksay in the field for his first crit of the year as a youth rider the first two of forty laps were ridden at a neutral pace. The tame start to the race caught several riders flat footed as the pace increased sharply with the Comox riders attacking each other making several attempts at a breakaway; all of which were quickly brought back in.
The Comox riders swept up the three Primes with Kevin Park taking the first two and Harry Reddiw taking the third.
After the third prime with five laps to go Nick Kupiak attacked trying break away from the pack. His attack united the CVAA riders who gave up attacking each other and worked together to reel Nick in with three laps to go. Knowing he was caught Nick sat in and worked on positioning himself for the final sprint to win the race followed by Janna Gillick (fresh off a hard week of racing in the lower mainland for Super Week) and Kevin Park.

As always a huge thanks to our volunteers Lorrie, Mike and Michael for watching the corners.
Unfortunately it looks like the rain has taken over today so we are cancelling the crit for tonight.With only a couple left we hope for big numbers next week.
This is our weekly call out for volunteers to marshal the crit race on Tuesday. Comment belwo (on fb).Racers if you haven't taken a week off to help out please do. Thanks in advance.
After eleven weeks of racing in circles, Broad Street Cycles' Nick Kupiak leads the Sr. men standings. It appears that Kupiak has the series locked up. There is, however, enough time for an epic battle between James Sage (MIVA), Mike Sevcov (Cycle Therapy) and Chris Cameron (MIVA) for the coveted second-place bragging rights. Let's hope we see some aggressive racing in the upcoming weeks from these three!
Meanwhile, Ayden Houle (MIVA) continues to be in the mix with the Sr Men and is leading the Jr Men's category. Janna Gillick (ATAC) leads the Sr Women's.
