MTB Pan American Championships

Results from the Pan American Championships in Manizales, Colombia, June 12-13. (courtesy Pierre Hutsebault - CCA)

Men
1. Diego Garavito (COL)
2. Chris Sheppard (CAN)
3. Seamus McGrath (CAN)

Women
1. Jimena Florit-Juarez (ARG)
2. Lesley Tomlinson (CAN)
(Canada's second female athlete was unable to attend due to illness)

Canadians should be pleased with their results at this event. The UCI points will move Canada up in the rankings, thus improving the chances of Canada qualifying the maximum number of athletes for the Olympic Games.

Polonus Results
Full Results with times are now up at http://www.eagle.ca/cobourgcycle/osaca/results.htm. There are some riders I could not identify so I have posted their finishing picture up as well. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

New Brunswick Cup #3

Sunday June 20th at Woolastook Park (Fredericton) will hold the third stop on the Velo NB circuit. About three kilometers is new stuff and it should be a good time.
