Peak Centre Winter Racing Series – Pre Season stage 1 Results
Monday night saw the opening of the 2008-2009 Season of the Peak Centre Winter Racing Series with a rolling 23.5 km course that featured a number of sharp, sudden climbs and descents that kept the riders on their toes.
Even though the two top men raced separate heats, it was a close race. In the first heat, Tony Zachery of Vancouver set an impressive pace through the first half of the course, faded a little but held strong for an impressive 40:17.8. In the end it wasn't quite enough as Roger Lee of Vancouver raced steady through the rolling terrain and in the end managed to edge out Tony and take first place with a 39:48.4. The gauntlet has been thrown down so this will be an entertaining rivalry to watch as the series progresses. Bobby Howell raced a solid race and rounded out the men's top 3 with a 42:03.5.
On the women's side, Shannon Cleary of Vancouver took the top spot in her first appearance in the winter racing series with a 53:39.4. Terrie Dlugon of Vancouver also in her first appearance took second with a 54:57.10. Kate Hart of Ottawa spoiled Vancouver's podium run and took third place with a time of 56:51.0.
