bicifest 2007!!!!

Thanks Everyone who came out for the best bicifest in years! We had a great turnout, acceptable weather, excellent venues, and wonderful volunteers! I would like to send a shout out out out to our organizer Greg Yaniki who pulled everything together. I would also like to thank Joanne and Tracy Kissel for securing the Strathmore time trial venue and other work. I would also like to thank Campione Cycles (906 12th ave), Bow Cycle, and Eurotech Cycle for their genourous support. Thanks to all the bicisport members who volunteered to ensure the race ran smoothly. Thanks as well to Manuel Latrouwe for supplying fantastic rijs tart. We are already getting requests for the same race next year.

Velocity Stage Race Results!!!!

Despite driving up in a snow storm and then battling killer crosswinds in the TT and RR, bicisport did fabulously last weekend in Edmonton.

Julie Beveridge crushed all comers, including me, in the time trial. She then cruised to fourth in the crit and made the break in the road race for another fourth securing 1st in GC. Jessica Kissel performed splendidly with a sixth in the time trial, a solid performance in the crit, but just missed the break in the road race. Regardless, Jess took tenth in the GC and she will be representing Alberta, however, at Junior Road Nationals in July. Joanne Breau took eigth in the time trial and 11th in the RR showing again she is a serious force. Lauren Lankester, and Ellen Sparling, in her bici debut, also had fantastic performances. I smell dynasty.

Other notables:
Shawn Bunnin - 3rd in RR
Jesse Collins - 4th in crit
Me - 8th in crit
Chris Sparling - 4th in TT and 7th overall
Ryan Campbell - 4th in RR

Bob Veroba, Bob McKerrel, Eric Wong, and Brayden McDougall all also made solid contributions.

If anyone has pictures please e-mail to me and I will post them up. I especially want the one where we are stuck behind the cultivator and the snowplow.

Pictures from Defi in Montreal!

Lisa Stowe and Jaye Milley recently represented bicisport at Defi in Montreal! They look cold, wet and hardcore. Stay posted for results.
