Provincial TT results and race report

Ride With Rendall hoClara Hughes tuning up for the world champs. click for bigger.sted the Ontario Provincial Time Trail Championships this past weekend in the City of Clarence-Rockland (Clarence Creek).  This marked the first time in many years that the Championship event has been hosted in Eastern Ontario.  The Ottawa area has always had a large number of participants in its weekly time trail series, and this event gave many of these riders a chance to race against some of the best in the Province and the Country.

There was 15 Championship Categories that were contested, plus 2 spotif races (20km & 40KM) for both Men and Women, and races for U13 and U15 (non championship).

The course proved to be a fast one, the intermittent rain all day seemed to keep the wind to a minimum which also help to produce some really fast times.   Aaron Fillion (Ride With Rendall), was the only rider to go under 50 minutes with a time of 49:44 (48.3 Km/h), and kept is Ontario Provincial Time Trail Champion Title for another year.  After missing out on the National Championships this year due to illness, Aaron has been setting new course records in the Ottawa area over the past couple of weeks, as he continued to rebuild his form for this event.

The event also saw the current Women's National Champion (Clara Hughes) participate in the event.  Although she was not able to win the Ontario Champion title as she is a Quebec resident, she used the event as preparation for the World Championships.  Clara posted the fastest time for the women at 54:28 (44.1 km/h).

Ride With Rendall would like to thank everyone that made this event possible, as without these people racing and events like these would not happen.
