Aaron and Sue at the Whiteface Race. click for bigger. more pics here image courtesy albear1947You may have already heard about the amazing time trial performances happening lately in Ottawa. Celia McInnis posted this analysis on TriRudy about the August 5th OBC Thursday Open Time Trial:

New course records were set for both genders! Aaron Fillion did an impressive 18:17 - that is 49.225 km/h - while Sue Schlatter did an incredible 20:02 for an average speed of 44.925km/h!

Imagine what they could do if they had both low air pressure and no wind!!! Aaron is looking to break 18 minutes (50km/h), while Sue is just 2 seconds slower than 45km/h.

And another course record was set Sunday August 8th, at the Almonte Bicycle Club’s 40km Time Trial. Celia's analysis again:

local riders win Whiteface Uphill Bike Race

click for bigger. more pics here image courtesy albear1947Nice little article in the Lake Placid News about Aaron Fillion and Sue Schlatter's results at the Whiteface Uphill Bike Race on Saturday, June 19. There is an in-depth interview with Aaron, too bad they didn't talk to Sue at all. Here is a excerpt:

Saturday’s fastest male and female cyclists both hailed from Ottawa, as Aaron Fillion and Sue Schlatter again won Whiteface Uphill Bike overall championships. Fillion, a 30-39 men’s age group competitor who was tops at Whiteface in 2008, was the first to cross the finish line this year, breaking the tape in 44:53.75.v

This year marked the third time Fillion has competed in the race, and now he has a pair of victories to go along with a second-place result from his first appearance in the event. Fillion, who specializes more in road racing and pedals between 10,000 and 20,000 kilometers each year, started in the third wave of the day to take the win.

Bear Mountain Spring Classic in NY

Allison Lampi let us know about a pair of amazing results at the Bear Mountain Spring Classic in New York this past weekend, Sunday, May 16.

Aaron Fillion won the Bear Mountain Spring Classic in NY yesterday. Jennifer Stephenson was 2nd in the women's Pro/1/2 race. Here are the results:

Not bad considering the pair drove 7 hours with Noah (almost 1 year old now), arrived at 1 AM, had to be at the race prior to Aaron's start at 9, and literally exchanged parenting duties 2 minutes after Aaron's finish and 2 minutes before Jen's start. A pretty amazing family.
