You couldn't have gotten a more representative Canadian Championships than the 2018 Global Relay Canadian Masters Time Trial Championships on Friday tonight in Victoria, BC, which crowned champions from sea to shining sea.
You would hardly know that Victoria's Heather Simonson (Triple Shot Cycling Club) only started racing two years ago. She took back-to-back titles - her first national-level competition in the women's 50-plus Canadian Masters title in 34 minutes and 8 seconds, and last weekend's 2018 BC Provincial Time Trial Masters title. Simonson says she was inspired to race by her 20-year-old daughter, Holly Simonson of Trek Red Truck who is also racing this weekend Robert W. Cameron Law Cycling Series p/b Jim Pattison Lexus elite races.
And from the other side of the country, St. John's, Newfoundland's (now based in Calgary) Stephen Hunt took the Masters 40-49 men's title, finishing the 21-Kilometre Energy Lab Dallas Road Time Trial in 29 minutes, 26 seconds.
Thunder Bay's Jennifer Bell was first in the Women's Master 30-39 category, defending her 2017 Global Relay Championship title. Her season just started in the northern Ontario town so the win was a bit unexpected. "I had no expectations - I just came out to see how I would do."
Calgary's Andrew Davidson (The Lead Out Project), on the other hand, came with one goal and one goal only. That was to claim the Men's 30-39 title and he did so in convincing fashion with the fastest Championships' clocking of 27:54:75. Davidson, 2002 Junior national time trial champion, is using every race to help him train for Canada's tandem para-cycling team where he hopes join Paralympian Lowell Taylor at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games.
Victoria rolled out the welcome mat - and Oak Bay opened up the tweed curtains - for almost 200 competitors. This race-against the clock took riders along a spectacularly scenic and rare windless course on Dallas Road / Beach Drive.
The Robert W. Cameron Law Cycling Series p/b Jim Pattison Lexus and the 2018 Global Relay Canadian Masters Road Cycling Championships continues Saturday with the Motus Design / Global Relay Canadian Masters Road Cycling Championships hitting the gruelling hills of Metchosin and the Russ Hay's Grand Prix circling the Legislature Building criterium course on Sunday.
