Roland in his newly won skinsuit, the 7th in his collection, if I counted correctly.
The beginners' field was the biggest one for the season with 21 racers.
Ian can't wait for the fun to begin.
Dee is happy and has the perfect kit for my bike.
Liam Farrar took the lead immediately and won by almost 2 minutes.
Phillippe Janicki (I think) in 2nd place.
Thomas Doyle in 3rd place.
Katie and Ian being obviously entertained by the beginners.
One of the TLC Slackers.
Thomas chasing Phillippe.
Ian Lindseth.
While remounting he muttered something like, “I can't do the jumpy-on thing.”
Very gracile. I think this may be Dan Leonard.
This looks pretty good.
Mary Wakefield, No 1 in the beginner women's category. Looking very stern.
Josh Erickson in Triple Shot kit! Yeah!
Another one of the Slackers.
Caronline Tansley, who came into 3rd place.
That Stumpjumper looks heavy!
Attack!!!!
Now that's a seriously aggressive expression!
Spectators and racers being numbered.
Galen and Jasper Davidson, the youngest competitor of the day! Well done, Jasper!
A proud father :)
Una and Lister Farrar. Una was the youngest girl in the race and she did really well.
Una got annoyed that she couldn't ride everything! She should have watched the experts later on, I bet there was enough pushing going on.
Mary Wakefield is still in the lead...
... and still looking stern.
This face says everything.
This photo too.
Galen and Jasper.
Una and Lister.
Una.
Dee going over the barriers.
What a smile she has on her face?
Dee seems to have lots of fun! This is how it should be!
Liam finishing first.
That was a good start for Liam's cyclocross career. Intermediates, watch out for this young gentleman next year!
The interemediates are on the run.
Geoff Wong, a Tripleshotter is just coming over the hill.
closely followed by Ian Ross, another Tripleshotter.
Geoff.
Ian.
Roland coming out of the nasty climb.
Ian obviously enjoyed the climb. Not.
Roland looking like a gazelle with a bike. Mitch is on the chase - this is the final lap.
This is going to be tight.
Uh oh ...
The fight of the Mustaches!
Mitch won it, which he obviously enjoyed.
The Rabiens.
The winner - Geoff Pendrel - singing?
Josh after his first CX race, in which he came 6th! Well done, Josh!
Ian was a bit grumpy at the end because his brakes didn't work due to maintenance negligence. He crashed 4 times - always in the same spot.
Katie Duncan-Rabien, the best spirit on the course :)
Kristen Magnusson.
Chelsea Bilsbarrow.
Jen Erlendson., who came third overall in the women's category! Great effort, Jen!
Glenowyn Carlson, who carried out a battle with Jen on almost every race. Glen ended up 2nd overall! Woohoo!
This is me, in my new Easter Egg kit :) Yeah Triple Shot!
Amanda Wakelig, who chased me today and gave me an incentive to go faster. She was the well deserved winner of the singlespeed CX bike.
Roland and his cow bell.
Oh, nobody there to chase?
Jamie Cameron warming up...
.. and down.
Chelsea.
Roland chasing after Jen with his cow bell. It made me feel sick when he did it too me! Thanks Roland.
See how much fun he had!
Josh in funny trousers.
And a funny face.
Amanda was in front of me here.
But I was close behind her.
Allison Sydor double flatted and therefore came in only 2nd. I knew that there must have been something wrong with her bike when I passed her in the stream. It's not like I can develop super powers suddenly.
The horizontal muddy field.
Glen being chased by Jen.
This is me back there.
I think I had too much mud in my eyes to keep them open.
The experts - Craig Ritchey dominated it as usual.
Dylan Tremblay.
Jamie Cameron to the right.
Ouch.
Roland thought he better get a taster of the experts' race so that he'll know what it will be like next year. I've heard rumors that he didn't enjoy it too much.
Bunny-hopping Jeff.
The beast!
The slopey mud field.
It's food time!
People are calculating madly.
And they did the sums right, Roland won the series' intermediate category! Woohoo!!!
