Hello friends, family, sponsors and fellow cyclists. Sunday, May 31 was the Trek Store Canada Cup/Ontario Cup#3 up in the outskirts of Barrie, Ontario at Hardwood Ski and Bike. It was gorgeous weather, plus 20 degree, possibly even touched 30 degrees each day I bet! The night before we all consumed some good pasta put on by the mothers who were in attendance at some sweet fancy little condo venue by Horseshoe Valley, but the bread was demolished by some hungry people after Logan and I prepared some unexpected Bruschetta bread after confusion of forgotten bread was misplaced, or kept in a van! Course was super dry and in dusty condition, bone shaker was ready to rattle some bones...and the BMX track was ready to be pumped around on!
First the Older fellows (Paul finished 21st, Duane 23rd and Mike 25th) were battling themselves in their own category finishing less than 1 min behind one another, it was good seeing them stay together battling and coming close to each other in the end. Bob rode to a very strong 6th place finish in his group. Ryan also raced at 9:30am with the older fellows and he finished a respectable 16th. Then the elite pro race along with juniors raced at 11:30 and as the heat increased so did the quality of the racing. Simon finished 49th, Jamie 46th, and the crazy boy himself Logan 36th after he almost came close to becoming a victim to the boneshaker. Samantha scorched her own competition in the junior expert female category finishing a solid 7th. At 1:45 pm the Z man himself, Zoltan was hammering away with Nathan in the final laps until he had a crash which gave him a flat to let Nathan have the victory of their battle on the last lap. Corey finished a respectable 16th in senior 19-29 expert male. Danielle had the only bad luck on her side on this race day with a early first lap crash that ended her day. Everyone had solid finishes and places throughout the day. Overall it was a great first overnighter race for the 2010 season of Two Wheel Express.
Ontario Cup #4 is up next up in Midland, Ontario!
