Done and done

Yesterday's 145 km stage concluded this year's Banff Bike Fest, I am shattered today.

Saturday's morning Time Trial went well as it could have, nothing left at the finish line. Someday will post a strong TT result, perhaps an actual TT bike would help but still??



Saturday evening's Criterium was an effort from the start, non stop sprinting until I faded on lap 26 and got lapped. Scott rode very impressive moving up slowly placing 10th. Aaron Schooler and Tichelaar were 1,2 second year in a row.

At least the guy in front of me looks hurting as well


Eventual Crit winner, ability to suffer much?


After my lackluster performance in the 1A race, put in a solid effort for the team in the 145 km 11 lap race around Tunnel Rd.
Gord got off the front with 5 others where Sean and I spent time at the front trying to keep Gord's break out there. Laid it all out there for the team not caring about my personal results, paid off as Gord sprinted for an impressive 6th place. Reigning Canadian Road Champion Will Routley's pace when he wanted to was a whole different league, such impressive strength. 

Overall the club had a very successful weekend in all categories, boys were on podiums everywhere. Congrats especially to Chris and Matt who won and placed 3rd in yesterday's 75km Tunnel Cat 3/4 race.

Met several nice guys over the weekend from the coast, check Dave Vuckets with Trek Red Truck's nutrition consulting business - http://www.performanutrition.ca
