Midweek Cycling Club

Toronto, July 6, 2006

Conditons were warm but windy for the first Tuesday night Midweek Cycling Club races of July. The early race was won by Aaron Arndt who comes to the Midweek Cycling Club from inline skating. Aaron, an accomplished athlete in skating is finding the conditioning and skills to compete at the higher levels in cycling as well.

In the late race, Jet Fuel's Jeff Hansen, Chris "the Brampton Strangler" Atkins (La Bicicletta), Damian Kurzawinski (ZM Cycling) and Zach Morris took the early flyer. The pack, facing a block headwind on the finsih straight was content to ride it out, with the exception of a few ambitous warriors, who would make the journey across. Over the course of the next few laps the lead group swelled as riders bridged across, including the CoachChris.ca duo or Blair Purvis and Jason Valenti and Italpasta's antipodean hero Cameron Hughes; fresh from his weekend win at the CHIN Picnic Criterium on Canada Day.

With thirteen laps to go, Heath "el Moto" Cockburn (La Bicicletta) bridged the 20 sec gap to the lead group. Now, with Heath in the drivers seat the lead opened up the maximum lead of 35 secs. Heath's La Bicicletta teammate made a powerful bridinging attempt in the final nine laps, which if successful would put three of their riders in the lead, but he aborted his attempt in the final lap, never getting closer than 20 secs., but happy nonetheless to have put in an effort.

With a lap to go, Ed Veal would make the race winning attack, and hold on for a fine win, his first in the 2006 Midweek Tues. NIght series. Atkins and Kurzawinski would round out the top three.

Thanks to Craig Fagan and Dan Rothnie for set up and takedown and to Michelle Payne and he kids for help at the registration table and minding the lap counter.
