Hard Fought Win

AB Crit Champs

Dan Wood, Nick Jendzjowsky, Cameron Jennings

Great things come to those who get back up (and have a brother to pull shoes and a bike from)!   Huge props go to Dan and the WHOLE TEAM for gritting it out  in the Provincial Crit Championships AND still being able to crush it the next day for the road race win!  Josh “Breaking Away” Krabbe nabbed a well deserved 3rd.

Our club secretary, Kyle Potts, was likewise victorious in the Cat 5 race over tough terrain and vicious wind.

Full gallery of crit images will be posted on Flikr.

Quick Thinking Jon!

Invasion of the Podium People

Congratulations to our two podium people, Tim Kulak and Tanner Broadbent. Tim took second after a loooong two-man break in the provincial RR at Lethbridge; Tanner took second at the Perogy mountain bike XC race at Sunridge Ski hill in Edmonton, after a spectacular crash in the opening minutes, on a very technical course. Good luck to Tanner this weekend in the provincial mountain bike championship and XC enduro, at Hinton!

And very best wishes to our club members competing at the Ironman Canada event in Penticton, Michelle MacWhirter (bib No. 2602), Paul Tichleaar (bib No. LUCKY 13!) and Travis Anderson (bib 536)!
