A damp Sunday morning greeted 74 eager cyclocrosser’s in the second provincial race of the weekend. This second year event attracted riders from Washington State, Alberta and Vancouver Island. The circuit was a mixture of thigh burning mud, sodden grass and relentless climbing that had all participants on the rivet.

Vancouver Island was well represented with Drew McKenzie and Dylan Tremblay taking 1^st and 3^rd in the Men’s 1-2 race and Joelle Guynup taking 1^st in the Open Women’s race. Other notable finishes were Matt Hornland taking 1^st in the Cat 3 race (his 1^st Cat 3 race) and Matt Drown taking 1^st in the Masters 35+ Men.
