Peak Centre Winter Racing Series – Stage 17 Results

---

Mike Nash didn’t break the course record of 33:45.9, but he put on an impressive display of power on his was to winning yet another stage of the Ride with Rendall/Peak Winter Series. After the stage, Nash commented how he left nothing and risked everything by going out fast. While he didn’t fade or blow up, Nash averaged an incredible 402 watts on his way to a time of 34:07.4. Second place went to Nash’s RWR teammate, Marc Boudreau, whose blistering time of 35:46.7 was overshadowed only by Nash’s incredible ride, but should not to be forgotten. Third place went to Ron Amos with a time of 37:00.8. Amos has had a consistent winter series and his growing form should pay dividends once he hits the roads outside.



In the women’s category, the record was not broken either, but once again we were treated to excellent rides. Elite triathlete, Cynthia Wilson put the final touches on her winter training by setting the fastest time on Stage 17’s time trial course. Her time of 39:01.7 was over a minute faster than second place rider Tenille Hoogland. Hoogland still managed a solid ride of 40:19.5 to safely secure second. Third place went to Steven’s road rider Wendy Blagdon, who turned in a time of 42:27.0.



In Vancouver, Ted Russo put up the fastest time with a 37:58.4 which was good enough for 6th overall but not quite fast enough to challenge the Vancouver course record of 37:23.6 set by Russ Stead earlier this year. Brian Griffin took the 2nd place spot with a 38:57.7 and Mike McIvor took 3rd place with a 39:42.2.

With one last stage to go, and with the stage returning to the extended time trial course, riders have one more chance to, in the words of Mike Nash, leave nothing and risk everything for the final bragging rights.

With only one stage to go, RWR would once again like to take the time to thank all of the riders and the series’ sponsors, Easton, Pedal, Maxxis, and the Peak Center. With one race left in the winter series, riders will have the season to look back on the hard work put in through the winter and we would like to thank all of those who came out and wish them continued success.



Cheers,



Mike
