Fun time was had by all.

Results from the end of season CAMEBA Road Race

If only it could have rained.......  5 cyclist lined up at Chris and Maren's place ready to face the elements which in this case were sun and warm temperatures.  After a demanding 50 km and the dodging of a raccoon carcass a winner emerged.  This is how it ended:

1st.  Marc Dubuc
2nd  Tom Leroux
3rd.  Pierre Leblanc
4th.  Kendall Bharath
5th.  Maren Butkovich (thanks for lending me a tube and CO2)

Results from the First Annual Eddy Merckx Hour Record Retro Time Trial

4 determined cyclist looked to the West and said to themselves, "So You Think You Can Time Trial?".  Stripped of all aero aides, carbon goodies and self dignity, they rode out on two nights to prove it's all about the legs.  Many things were discovered:
Childbirth will not slow anyone down
Weekend Bachelor parties are a good excuse to get in a workout
2 hours of wailing from 4 year olds is reason enough to ride in a downpour
And finally, a summer of great riding culminates in a course record. 

Here are the results:
1st.  Dean Neville  23:53  (course record)
2nd  Tom Leroux 24:33
3rd Christian  Belair  25:33
4th Maren Butkovich  26:20

Schedule for Tuesday, September 8th to Sunday, September 13th

Just a reminder to everyone that the remaining time trials on the Wednesday and Thursday night schedule will be starting at 6pm due to the decreasing hours of sunlight.
As well, the Sunday, September 12th CAMEBA Road Race has been rescheduled to Saturday, September 11th due to the fact that many riders will be attending the UCI Road Race on the Sunday.
