May 20th in Fort St. John, BC

Conditions were slow on a dark, cold and breezy night.

Other times were Richard Wood at 28:05, Owen Giebelhaus 30:06, Barb Polehoykie 30:36, Rob Churchill 31:10 and Adam Currie 36:00.

Thank you to Patricia Emery for timing!

The course record for this Baldonnel circuit is 21:08 minutes set by the National Time Trial Champion Olav Stana in 1987. Maybe this will be the year someone breaks this 23 year old course record.

Sunday is a 40 km time trial from the BC Alberta border at Goodlow at 11:00 am. This is a trial run for the World Masters Time Trial Challenge that will be happening in August.

There is a contingent of Peace Country riders off to Saskatoon for the Bikes On Broadway stage race.  Geoff McDonald, Blaine Richter and Colter Young will be making the trip.
