La-Z-Boy has been a generous supporter of competitive cycling on Vancouver Island for a number of years and this latest sponsorship will continue this support.
Criterium Series on May 13th, Nanaimo BC
It was a fine evening with little wind as the 14 starters lined up for the race. The first three laps were semi-neutralised and everyone stayed together. But as soon as the flag dropped to signify the start proper, the pace upped to well over 40kph.
After a couple of laps of racing, the group was strung out,with young Brodie Hay already well off the back. Soon afterwards, the OBB duo of Cory Pickett and Dan Curtis lost contact, shortly followed by Bill Hutchinson who continued to ride strongly.
Over the next few laps, Mike Sevcov appeared off the front of the bunch three or four times but it was Chris Cameron who did much of the work, the rest of the group was content to let him sit just off the front for several circuits of the fast 1.1km course. With five laps to go, the remaining ten riders in the bunch were still together and, although a few abortive atempts were made to break, at the bell lap the bunch was still intact.
At the line, OBB's Derek Brain took the win, narrowly edging out Warren Muir, who won the first criterium in the series. Third was Schwalbe's Iain Hay, repeating his third place finish from crit. Number 1.
Thanks to Dave Kenny for course set up and take down, and to two friends of Bill Hutchinson for marshalling.
