Cycling Races Hot in the Valley

The July long weekend saw some great cycling action hosted by the Comox Valley Cycle Club. On Friday night the first „Miss and Out‰ race was held at Saratoga Speedway with Garth White taking honours in the Senior racing category while Grant O'Neill won the under 15 category.

On Sunday July 4th the action moved to the Tsolumn Road Race course. This race had all of the usual categories for local racers and also hosted the Juniors in the Cycling B.C. Junior Challenge Road Series as race #6. Nineteen of these up and coming riders joined the race with the winners being: U13 W Paige Campbell, U15 W Alyssa Garrison, U15 M Grant O'Neill, U17 W Kyla Geisbrecht, U17 M Jeff Castenmiller, U19 W Katrina Sundquist and U19 M Reid Tucker.

Winners in the other categories were Open A Garth White, Open B Graham Garrison and Open C Mike Wood. The club would like to thank all of the volunteer course marshals and officials as well as our sponsors Mountain Meadows Sports, Island Honda, Mountain City Cycles, Dodge CityCycles, Mike's Bikes, Black's Cycles and Simon's Cycles. Thanks also go to Tim Hortin's for the post-race goodies!
