The weekend will start with the Forbidden Plateau Prologue as Present by Trail Bicycles, in the afternoon the Blooming Barn Criterium as presented by Broken Spoke will finish up Saturday. Sunday morning features the Dove Creek Road Race presented by Simon Cycles. There will be tons of draw prizes from our sponsors. Event awards, and final GC awards presented on Sunday for each youth, master, and club event. These awards I can personally guarantee cannot be found anywhere else but the CVCC.

Comox Cup Clarification

Call it a complete overlook on my part on the Comox Cup standings but here are the criteria to be included in the Comox Cup Standings:
You must be a member of the Comox Valley Cycle Club ($20 fee) to be included in the standings. It does not matter where you live (Victoria, Vancouver, Port Hardy etc) as long as you have paid the club fee. As well as being strongly, strongly encouraged to supply a volunteer to help run one of the club races.
If any out of town racer would like to be included in the Comox Cup standings but cannot supply a volunteer to help run an event, please email Doug_merrick@hotmail.com to let him know/work out an arrangement.
Sorry for the oversight.

Minto Road Race Report and Comox Cup Update

Road Race Report
Warm, Sunny weather greeted the 40 racers who braved to race the 2010 Minto Road Race presented by Mtn City Cycles.
The A category race featured attacks from the big three (Black's, Simon, and Trail Cycles) for an exciting road race of 8 laps (72km). Despite the constant attacks the initial group of 20 held together until the end of the 7th lap where Eatmore Sprouts/Trails Bike Team duo Nigel Ellsay and Nigel Hutcheson iniated the 10 man break that would work successfully together to hold off the scattered chasers on the last lap. Visiting Victoria Racer Luca Segar took the win followed by Jordan Duncan and Nigel Ellsay (Eatmore Sprouts/Trail bikes) for the lead group.
In the B category race of 6 laps (54km) the group stayed together until the very end where out-of-towner Michael Brinton took the sprint by attacking early on the hill. Local junior Jake Van der Vliet (Airport Service/Simon Cycles) took second followed by Mike Brown in his second ever road race.
In the C category brothers James and Mark Grant managed to drop both Ernie Klassen and Simon Harrington for a brother 1-2 on the line.
A big thank you to Mtn City Cycles for sponsoring the event. Thank you to Quality Foods/Tim Hortons and Eatmore Sprouts for providing sprouts for the apres race food, Shoppers Drug Mart for contributing for the draw prizes. AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS!!
