Crescent Park Cyclocross Series #1

South Surrey, BC, Canada, November 1, 2003

Kyle, Simms & Thibault take first of two

The first of two cyclocross races to be held Crescent Park was held on a sunny but cold fall day. On each lap of the 2.4 km circuit, the racers were faced with a short run-up, one flat dismount, 400m of pavement and undulating terrain.

The first group off was the Men B. Norm Thibault rode away from the rest of the field early in the race, gaining a comfortable lead that he maintained until the finish.

The next group on the course was the Women. Early in the race there was a tight battle for the podium spots but the selective course eventually took its toll on the racers and Wendy Simms showed her strength, riding away from the competition.

At 10:30 AM, the Men A started a 10-lap race that saw Andrew Kyle attack the rest of the field on the first lap. Olympian Andreas Hestler soon took up the pursuit but could not catch Kyle as he increased his lead every lap, finishing over 2-1/2 minutes ahead of second place. For third place there was a tight sprint that was taken by Basse Clement by less than a wheel length.

Event sponsors: Adidas, Symmetrics Cycling, Ohagan's Cycles, Raw Wear, Hammerbar, Cloverdale Cycles, Rona, Starbuck's Coffee.
