With the threat of getting pulled after being dropped on the minds of most riders, we lesser riders all tried to hang on as the pace went up in the first couple of laps. I recall seeing high-40s, low 50s km/hr on the straights. Corner #3 was a bit of a bottleneck when the pace slowed as 90+ riders tried to move up through the crowd. But otherwise the course worked very well considering the speed and size of the group. There was one unfortunate crash when Duncan Beard's front tire washed out in corner 1 about 15 minutes into the race (heal up buddy!). The race results:
The perfect weather helped with the good turnout and it is a good lead into Preston Street Criterium. The CJOH crew were there and featured had two segments on the 6:00 pm news which will be good promo for Sunday's races. Doug Corner of BRO sends these bits of information about Preston Street:
Reminder that there will be no warming up on the course on Sunday and riders should not park inside the course. Amongst all the cash and primes, the Senior 1,2, Master 1 top three will win $1000, $500, $300 in the main event at 3:00 pm.
