Temperatures in the single-digits, driving rain, wind, and rolling terrain all left a mark on the Alberta Provincial Road Race Championships, contested yesterday near Winfield, about 100 km southwest of Edmonton. Over 130 riders persevered in brutal conditions which led to the shortening of the Women's race and the Open Men's race.
The marquee races were both won by Espoir riders: Laura Yoisten (DeVinci/Sportrack), winner of the Espoir category at the 2004 Canadian National Road Race Championships, dominated a small but quality women's field. Zach Bell (Synergy), meanwhile, finished just ahead of fellow Espoir Ryan MacKenzie (DeVinci/Sportrack) in the Open Men's race. Bell has enjoyed a fine August of racing: In addition to yesterday's win, over the past three weeks he has triumphed on the track with a win in the Individual Pursuit at the National Track Championships, and an overall win at the Alberta Provincial Track Championships, which included a 4m43s Individual Pursuit.
Big thanks to Bruce Copeland and the Juventus Club for putting on a fine event under trying conditions.
