The lone ranger...



A fine course was laid out for the Fraser Meadow cross race yesterday. It involved a nice bit of BMX track, some very bumpy straight away sections through a stubble field (keeping company with a farmer who was baling hay), and some deep ditches to carry your bike through. I was hopeful that I was not going to be the only FGBC member in the group, especially when I was passed by Juan in his car (with bike on top) - on my way over to the park. No such luck...but they were a friendly bunch who waited at the park, and a good time was had (complete with tea and cookies after the race).

Here are the results...

Marc 58:32
Kevin 59:32
Dallas 60:05
Gary 60:54
Ian 62:49
Allan 63:53
Lee Ann (-2) 60:10
Johnny (-2) 63:57 - I was a dominant force in the 200+ lb class, complete with accompanied wheezing.

Note to self: next time, don't ride to the race (everyone else chauffered their bikes) - plus the ride home felt like eternity. Wish I would have had a jersy to show off...oh well - looking forward to getting it tomorrow night.

Nice work Johnny N. He loves it. Nice that at least one FGBC rep was present.
