Thanks again for all the help and thanks for coming out to race. Without you, it would just be a guy on the side of the road holding a clipboard. We'll be back next year, bigger and better. Tell your friends.

And that's all she wrote. I'll update the final standings tonight. Thanks again to everyone who came out and especially to our volunteers for the evening. You guys are the ones that makes it happen.

Thank you and you and you.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, raced, and helped out for this years C4racing Wednesday Night Series. It's been one of the most fun sporting things I've done putting it together and I'm looking forward very much to next year. Thanks to all the volunteers from last night including Jess, Emilie, and Lev for getting our long last race off the ground. Special thanks to Mr. Highway Sherrif for making you guys do the prologue twice but that's racing. I'm on holidays in Ontario right now so I'll get the final results out in a couple of days and the final standing but it's enough to say that Trev crushed it last night and Rod couldn't quite hang on. Good stuff.
Once again, thanks to everyone that's been a part of the series and I'll see you all next year.

This Wednesday is points-o-rama with extra points on the line. Bonus points will be awarded for each segment with 2-1 in the prologue TT, 4-3-2-1 in the RR, and 3-2-1 in the Final TT along with a points breakdown of 15-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 for the overall.

See you Wednesday at 6:30 at the Priddis meeting spot (22 and 22x).

The Final TT: Return to Dunbow

Well, back to where we started this whole thing with a final standard TT. Despite the threatening weather it was quite a pleasant night and we avoided the rain until after the last rider made it in. With swirly up and down winds, it was a certainly a challenge. Even more so for the two unfortunate victims of flat tires out there, it doesn't really help the time out. ANyway, good job and hopefully you've had some good TT practice over the series. On with the results....


1 Rod MacAlister Speed Theory A 23:29
2 Michael Healy Speed Theory B 25:45
3 Brian Beaulieu C4 B 25:57
4 Robert Armstrong C4 B 26:23
5 Lachlan Holmes Speed Theory A 29:39

You can probably guess who had the flats. Of note, Rod's time was the fourth fastest we've seen on this course and close to the 22:59 course record which was set by Ryan Barr in the very first week. Special thanks to Jacek who was the turnaround volunteer and helped with one of the flats. Thanks to all who came out.

Next week is the finale back at the Priddis location (22 and 22X) and we'll start with a ~2km prologue TT, a 1 lap RR, and a final ~9km TT, all Merckx style. Bonus points are on offer and I'll update the standing later this week going in to it. We hope to start at 6:30 and it should be a blast.

Thrills a Minute.

This week's little excursion is a standard TT back at the Dunbow road location. Although the weather looks craptacular, I'll be there, sitting in my nice warm car watching you guys suffer. That being said, the weather has worked out so far so I'm hoping for a nice and pleasant evening.

Team Racing Redux

Back at it again. The weather held off and actually was quite a pleasant evening with a couple of new faces and many of the usual suspects. Ten riders toed the line and to keep things interesting I split them into three teams lead by Rod MacAlister (orange), Jeff Bell (yellow), and Darcy Gullacher (pink). The goal was for the captains to get 2 of their riders across the line first and the score would be the sum of the places (excluding the captains) with the low score winning. Make sense? I hope so. This time around the race was a little more 'attacky' if I can make up a word and it was quite entertaining to watch. The monkey wrench was a couple of flats which we haven't seen this year which really impacted the boys in pink. However, Yuri Lipkov rode off the front near the end to take the first finish for pink, followed by Rick Courtney for orange, Paul Rosenberg for Yellow, and David Mongantini held on for fourth across. It's all about the second riders though and in the end the final tally was...

1st Orange with 6 points
Rod MacAlister (cap'n)
Rick Courtney
David Morgantini
Willy Vansevenant

2nd Pink with 8 points
Darcy Gullacher (cap'n)
Yuri Lipkov
Neal Stoughton

3rd Yellow with 9 points
Jeff Bell (cap'n)
Paul Rosenberg
Norm Smith

All in all it was a good fun night, and I look forward to using that format again next year. I can't forget to mention my loyal volunteers for the evening which included Iron Lev Krivitsky, Brian The Hammer Beaulieu, and Rob Marathon Man Armstrong. Thanks all, it ran so smoothly.
Next week is a standard TT back at Dunbow and the following week will be the finale on this course again. I have figured out a couple of details and I can say that it will start at 6:30 at the Priddis Meething Spot with a 2ish km prologue up the hill on 22X towards town, a 1 lap road race, and a 10ish km TT from near the road race finish back to the meeting spot. As we'll be doing this on the fly, Merckx rules will be in effect. I ain't supposed to be easy. I'll time each portion and the winner will be low aggregate time. See you next week at Dunbow.
