Peak Centre Winter Racing Series –Stage 2 Results

 

Stage 2 was the first running of the Extended Time Trial course this season.  The Extended TT is the only course repeated through the series to allow riders to gauge improvements in fitness through the off season.  The course is 30km long with a few moderate climbs and a definite net gain in elevation by the finish line.  The current national records on the course are 45:22.9 held by Mike Nash of Ottawa and 50:44.3 held by Sue Schlatter of Ottawa.  The previous Vancouver record on the course was 50:12.8 held by Ted Russo.

 

Setting the bar high for the rest of the season, Casey Roth (Peak) put his head down in stage 2 to a convincing win a 48:42.4. For the first third of the course, Casey was locked in a battle with Jim Tsilemos (RWR). Neither rider was able to put more than 150m on each other until Tsilemos eventually conceded and faded to 5^th place. While that was happening, West coast riders Tony Zackary and Roger Lee where waging their own battle for second place.  Tony powered out to and early lead but Roger slowly started closing the gap on the second half of the course. As the course turned up the final climb, Roger tried to close the gap but ran out of road.  In the end Tony took second place and the new Vancouver record for the Extended TT with a time of 49:48.8.  Roger came in just a few seconds later in 49:56.6.

 

In the woman's field, Wendy Blagdon (Emd/Serono) took off from the gun rode strong to finish with a time of 57.27.3 ahead of Vancouver's Alison Setton (58:46.9) and Ottawa's Diane Marleau (59:19.9).

Peak Centre Winter Racing Series –Stage 1 Results

 

With the pre-season racing behind us, Stage 1 marked the official return of the Peak Centre Winter Racing Series – back for its 5^th season.  The stage was a 23.7km rolling course with a few challenging climbs that finished with a tough uphill finish.  It was the kind of course that favored the all-around rider and it was a hell of a tough way to open the series!

 

On the men's side, Warren MacDonald (EMD/Serono; 42:26.2) wasted little time in establishing himself as a rider to beat.  While some riders were using the stage to as the start of their winter training, others showed up to race. The Peak Centre's Casey Roth had a strong ride to finish second with a time of 45:31.4. Third place went to Vancouver's Tony Zachery who followed in closely with a time of 47:09.0.

 

In the women's Field, Tenille Hoogland (47:29.5) picked up were she left off last year, posting a time good enough for fifth overall while taking the women's category win. Second place went to Ottawa's rider Dianne Marleau (RWR) with Vancouver's Alison Setton finishing just one second behind Dianne in third.

 

Full results including times, average speeds and average power outputs are available at http://www.peakcentrevancouver.ca/results/Stage%201%20Results%20Combined2008.pdf.

 

Next week marks the first running of the Extended Time Trial Course that is repeated 5 times through the series.  The Extended Time Trial Course made its first appearance last year so that riders could compare their results on the same course multiple times during the season.  The current national record on the course is 45:22.9 held by Mike Nash of Ottawa.  The current Vancouver record on the course is 50:12.8 held by Ted Russo.

 

Heats will take place on December 13^th and 15^th at centers in Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal.  To book your start time, call the Peak Centre for Human Performance in Vancouver at (604) 299-7959.  Ottawa riders can book their heat slots on-line at www.peakcentre.ca. The Peak Centre Winter Racing Series is designed for fun and fitness. The series is for all levels of ability, so grab your bike and give it a try.  The first race is free for those who have never tried the series before.  For more information on times, costs and rules please see http://www.peakcentrevancouver.ca/race_series_2008-09.php.

Peak Centre Winter Racing Series – Pre Season Stage 5 Results

 

Stage 5 was a tough 25km course featuring some challenging climbs including a long, hard climb up to a sustained plateau with a rolling finish.  This was an opportunity for the big guys to come to the front and display some power on the long flat section.  Nobody predicted how significantly this course would spread out the leaders.

 

On the men's side Tony Zachery of Vancouver continued to extend his winning streak with a dominating ride.  He set an aggressive pace right off the start line that nobody could match and cruised to the win with a 45:03.9.  Roger Lee of Vancouver raced a strong race and took second at 47:31.1 with a wide margin.  Mike McIvor of Vancouver managed third with a 49:31.3.

 

On the women's side, things were much closer.  Wendy Blagdon of Ottawa and KJ Sadler of Vancouver waged a battle from opposite sides of the country.  In the end Wendy reversed last week's standings and took first place with a 52:43.6.  This week KJ had to settle for second with a 53:03.4.  Dianne Marleau of Ottawa took third place with another strong ride at 55:30.4.

 

Full results including times, average speeds and average power outputs are available at http://www.peakcentrevancouver.ca/results/Pre-Season_Stage_5_Results_Combined.pdf.

 

Next week marks the first stage of the series that contributes to the overall General Classification points.  Stage 1 turns back to rolling terrain and will likely favour the all-around riders.  Heats will take place on December 6^th and 8^th at centers in Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal.  To book your start time, call the Peak Centre for Human Performance in Vancouver at (604) 299-7959.  Ottawa riders can book their heat slots on-line at www.peakcentre.ca. The Peak Centre Winter Racing Series is designed for fun and fitness. The series is for all levels of ability, so come grab your bike and give it a try.  The first race is free for those who have never tried the series before.  For more information on times, costs and rules please see http://www.peakcentrevancouver.ca/race_series_2008-09.php.
