November 3/15 11:44 am - Local Ride's Pumpkin Cross


Posted by Editoress on 11/3/15
 

Last Sunday (November 1st) saw hundreds of hard core cyclo-cross racers converge in Maple Ridge for the 9th Annual Pumpkin Cross event presented by Local Ride Racing, round number three of the BC Premier CX Series. Torrential rain didn't dampen the spirits of riders, who showed up en masse in colourful Halloween costumes for the festive gathering that included riders of all ages and levels.

The course, set up on the grounds of the North Alouette River Greenway Park, was a soggy slog consisting mostly of grass, but it also took riders on a jaunt through some tricky turns in the Spooky Forest and a chunk of the Pitt Meadows Dyke network.

Reigning Pumpkin Cross elite women's champion Sandra Walter (Liv Cycling Canada), dressed as a pirate, took the hole shot and led through the entire race, despite an early attempt to bridge by eventual third place finisher Maggie 'Foxy Fox' Coles-Lyster (Local Ride Racing/Colnago). Morgan Cabot (Glotman Simpson Cycling), garbed as plundering pirate, came on strong at the end to overtake Coles-Lyster in a neck-and-neck sprint for silver.

On the elite men's side, it was CX veteran Kevin Calhoun (Rocky Mountain) who reigned supreme in a sea of mud. The podium saw some fresh faces as Davey Mitchell, Nathan Killam (Cycosis Racing), and Ben Chaddock grabbed second through fourth, respectively. Newly crowned Master 40-49 men's Canadian Champion Bob 'The Builder' Welbourn (Glotman Simpson Cycling) rounded out the top five.

Walter led a free women's cyclo-cross skills clinic at the course on Saturday to give first-time female racers an introduction to the discipline. "It was such a great group of women that came out on a rainy Saturday to learn about 'Cross," said Walter. "We had lots of fun out there, and when I watched the huge Beginner and Intermediate Women's fields today, they were all smiling and having a good time. That's what 'Cross is all about."

Walter is holding a clinic on Saturday, November 7th in Abbotsford in conjunction with ValleyCross, BC Premier CX Series race #4. Find out more at www.valleycross.ca.

Pumpkin Cross was supported by Liv Cycling Canada, Kicking Horse Coffee, WD-40 products, Cycling BC, Cycles Lambert, the District of Maple Ridge, and the Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Centre.
