The magazine of cycling in Alberta The $2.00 in Canada Vol. 37 No. 1 spin Spring 2005 Off the front... 2 Alberta Spin Spring 2005 The Big Aloha! Hello, and welcome to another busy season at the Alberta Bicycle Association. It is my pleasure to write to you as the new President. I have really enjoyed my years of volunteerism within the ABA and look forward to serving the many different views and interests of cyclists in this Province. When I think of the many exciting events that are going on this summer, it is hard to believe that we have our usual full and diverse calendar as well as the enormous undertaking that is the World Masters Games. The interest and excitement that the Games are producing continues to build and the numbers are increasing with each update from the Games Office. As we get closer to the event, the need for volunteers at the various venues and events will continue to be of utmost importance to the success of the cycling disciplines. If you have some time this summer to assist the clubs putting on the events, or elsewhere at the Games, please do so! One of my goals as President is to continue to foster the relationship between the various disciplines of cycling in this Province. I feel that it is imperative that we all work together to promote all aspects of cycling and that we are stronger as a united front than we are as a segmented group of varied interests. We continue to strive at the national level for a better insurance deal. We look to a strengthening of the CCA Office with the hiring of a new Chief Operating Officer, Steve Lacelle, whom I met at our CCA Insurance Committee meeting. Steve seems to be making an immediate and positive impact at the National Office. I am also working hard to ensure that Alberta’s voice is heard nationally with my election as Chair of the Inter-Provincial Council of the CCA. I appreciate any input and comments you might have for me, and please feel free to come up, say hi, and engage me in discussion at events this summer! “The Big Kahuna” ABA President Tim Harris m Stay tuned for the advent of stylin’ ABA wear: T-shirts, ball caps, touques. Kristy Sarnoski and Brys Francis are on the ABA Clothing Committee and they will get the good stuff. Bronze grandstand seats at the CHAMP car race in Edmonton in July 2005: $90 Silver seats: $155 Gold seats: $220 Grandstand suites for 50 people (food and drink extra): $38,000 Standing in the rain at the finish line of a Tuesday night club race: priceless. The ABA notes with sadness the passing of Ron Moore, longtime rider and cycling supporter. Ron suffered from cystic fibrosis and this makes his involvement in cycling all the more remarkable. Ron’s drive and determination helped him live to age 48 with a genetic condition where the life expectancy is 37. Many people will remember Ron organizing and competing at roller races during the winter where his fast-twitch “sewing machine legs” took him to record times. Ron owned and operated George’s Cycle from 1985 to 2001 and is survived by wife Linda and children Alana and Aaron. Please make memorial donations to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Forms, calendar by Andy Holmwood Calgary – The Alberta Bicycle Association is pleased to announce the awarding of two Wild Rose Scholarships, totalling $5,000, to Alberta Provincial Team riders Dianna Kennedy and Mark MacDonald. “The Wild Rose Scholarship was initiated this year by a private individual wishing to support developing athletes enrolled in the first year of a post-secondary education program,” says Andy Holmwood, spokesperson for the Alberta Bicycle Association. “The donor recognized the difficulty faced by athletes competing nationally and internationally, yet not currently at level at which they would receive Sport Canada support. The financial challenges faced by these athletes, who are combining athletic pursuits with education, place a significant amount of stress on the athletes and their families. Any time such athletes can access funding by way of grants or scholarships, it puts the athlete in a better position to focus on training and perform at their best. On behalf of the Alberta Bicycle Association, I would like to extend our thanks and express our great appreciation to the donor for this contribution,” states Holmwood. The Wild Rose Scholarship attracted numerous applications from cyclists this year, who were encouraged to take a creative approach to the application process. The Scholarship will become an annual award available to developing Alberta cyclists. The Alberta Bicycle Association promotes all aspects of cycling in Alberta, including road, track, mountain bike, cyclo-cross, and BMX racing. Association activities also include the promotion of cycling for recreation and transportation, trail maintenance, and cycling advocacy. The Alberta Bicycle Association is affiliated to the Canadian Cycling Association and Union Cycliste Internationale. m Dianna Kennedy 2004 Results: Alberta Junior Elite Triathlete of the Year 2nd North American 23rd overall at Triathlon Worlds in Portugal, Madiera 1st GC Prairie Steamer cycling Stage race. 1st Category B Pigeon Lake Road race. 4th place overall 1st Provincial Triathlon Championships 1st Calgary Provincial Kids Of Steel Triathlon 3rd St. Malo Jr. race series triathlon Mark MacDonald 2004 Results Photo by Andrea Brewer National Road Cycling Championships12th Individual Time Trial, 19th Road Race National Track Cycling Championships1st Kilo, 3rd Individual Pursuit, 1st Team Pursuit Junior Track World Championships21st Kilo, 10th Team Sprint, 27th Individual Pursuit Junior Races: 1st Provincial Hill Climb 1st Canmore Individual Time Trial 1st Bikeshevik GP Omnium 1st Provincial Cyclocross Championships 1st AVC Track Race (Victoria) - Kilo, Pursuit, Kerin, Team Sprint 1st Junior Best All Around Rider 1st Provincial Track Series (Journal Cup) 3rd Pigeon Lake Road Race Photos courtesy Dianna Kennedy Junior National Track Cycling Team Alberta Provincial Road and Track Teams Ms. Kennedy, who rides for the Synergy Cycling Team of Calgary, is a member of the National Triathlon Team and competed at the 2004 World Championships.

It was a glorious sunny date for this event, which started way back in 1985. The Bike Club had another successful year, in 2004. Club membership is currently 94 cyclists from a humble start with 12 in 1982! Club highlights were another Challenge Cup, one Provincial Champion and two other provincial medallists, local riders at the National Championships, Terry Stone's multi medal performance, As a club, the Blizzard won the Challenge Cup for the third year in a row. It was closer, however, as the Grande Prairie squad is getting more riders out. The GP squad won two events in total points and the Blizzards won the other two but the local squad got the higher margins to get the overall win. Blizzards were also very active in triathlons. A contingent attended and did very well in Grande Prairie, Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Edmonton and Penticton. Dean Lowry did well in the Penticton Ironman Triathlon. Individual highlights include Tessa Bilodeau winning the Alberta Junior Girls Championship for a second time. Robert Martens picked up Provincial Silver for the Alberta Criterium and Doug Dewar's' silver in the time trial. Wim Kok did the 'Rocky Mountain 1200' randonneur and lived to tell the tale. Locally, the club events were hard fought and close as well as starting in the snow. Ferris won the first 'Roubaix Cup' race in 4 inches of fresh snow. Mike Hientzman then won the following two races to win the series. Hientzman went on to also pick-up the King of Spring and the fall cyclo-cross series. Pat Ferris took home the 7 races 'Spring Stage Race' after edging out Robert Martens, Mike Hientzman and Joe Radench. The elder Ferris went on to win his second Club Mountain Bike Championship as well as the BAR mountain points series and the Men's' Duathlon Series. Barb Polehoykie edged out Lisa Verbisky for the Women's Spring Stage Race trophy. Barb also won the fall Mountain bike points as well. Robert Martens won his usual big share of trophies with wins in the Rocky Road, Club Road Championship and Race of the Fallen leaves. Stephen Ferris was the dominant time trialist after winning most of the Baldonnel time trials, fastest time and the Blizzard Time Trial Trophy. Alberta Champion Tessa Bilodeau was fastest female 16 km time trialist and winner of the Phoenix Trophy as well as the S & S Turbines Champion and Tim Gladysz won the S & S Turbines hillclimb in August. The cycling season is a long one. First ride is the New Years Day ride, under very civilized conditions this year. The first race was a chilly affair in late February. Last event was the club cyclo cross in late October with a final cyclo cross race in the snow. The club does a variety of events. These include time trials, road races, duathlons, the Tri-Co-op Triathlon, mountain biking, Randonneur and cyclo-cross. Next year the club will have a number of events to look forward to. The Tri-Co-op 2005 triathlon will be in its 7th year, The National Road Championships will be held in Kamloops again in 2005 and Masters age (over 30) athletes can look forward to the World Masters Games 2005 in Edmonton.

Being too polite to arm wrestle, organizers horse-traded for new and old events. We worked around the (not-yet-finalized) national calendar, the World Masters Games and TransRockies. Some things, such as the Canada Day Crit, are fixed by statute, some, such as the Summer Solstice XC, are set by astronomical events. We’re keeping our eyes and ears open for a CCA-sponsored national road series. Technical director Andy Holmwood talked of the form filling and bureaucracy that helps organizers cover all the bases to ensure a well-run race. He spoke about the importance of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP. Get used to those letters). He reminded us that it is ABA policy that the Organizer of Record (i.e. your name is on the ABA sanction form) should be available to run the event and not be racing in it (unless you win). ABA President and top-level Commissaire Tim Harris agrees. “The Commissaires must know who is in charge, so be there or pay the $50,000 to have yourself cloned.” Another good thing to have available is a comprehensive “race bible”. This would contain maps, race detail, distance and times and other info of use to riders, Coaches, Commissaires and volunteers The Organizers meeting brought together the knowledge of many experienced race organizers. Steve Johnson told us to “Keep and recognize your volunteers” and suggests the ABA equivalent of the UCI’s Rainbow award, rewarding the best-organized ABA race in a season. Tim Harris told us that Commissaires will work with organizers to fast track posting of results down to prize depth so organizers can get that part of the race taken care of. Jeff Davis reminded organizers of the wonders contained in the Northern Alberta Race Trailer, originally donated by Juventus and stocked with all kinds of goodies to make your race a success. There is an equivalent kit in Calgary. Jeff also reminded attendees of the advantages of advertising races in the Alberta Spin magazine. cp walsh countered with the contention that most ABA’ers got their info from the website and ABA member updates. All agreed that complete info: date, time, distance, entry fee, prizes, course and access info should be as easily available as possible. All in all, we did a lot of work and spread knowledge and spirit at the 2005 ABA organizers meeting and know that we have a lot of work still to do to make the 2005 season a great one. Support your hardworking race organizers by attending and working at Alberta races. Here’s a quick view of 2005 in Alberta. In honour of Alberta’s centennial, try to race 100 events. As always, scope the latest ABA calendar on the web site. At press time, it looks like 2005 will start off much as 2004 did. Bicisport Calgary starts the season with two criteriums. Headwinds and United Cycle offer XCs in Lethbridge and Stony Plain, separated by Velocity’s Ardrossan SR and Rundle Mountain CC’s ITT crit and TTT in Canmore. ERTC’s Pigeon Lake RR shifts to the weekend between two big races in Saskatchewan, so riders from both provinces can visit each other. The same weekend the fabled Ridge Meadows BMX club starts the Western National BMX series in Maple Ridge BC and DH (and an Mtb SR and Enduro) gets going in Rocky Mountain House with RM Bike ‘n’ Board. June busts out with BMX in Cochrane, a Mtb SR in Rocky Mountain House and a Criterium in Edmonton, followed by the Prairie Steamer SR in Calgary, then BMX Nationals and Western Nationals in Airdrie, Bikeshevik Track in Calgary and DirtGirls Down ‘n’ Dirty XC in Edmonton. June finishes with the Northern ITT in Devon and a MTB weekend: the new 12 Hours of Aspen enduro in St. Paul and the Summer Solstice XC in Station Flats. Check the calendar for the latter, in case it begins at dawn (around 4:50 am…) July starts with a bang: Edmonton Canada Day Crit, Mtb Double DH and Enduro in Rocky Mountain House, Calgary Track Nationals, Medicine Hat BMX, Cochrane Wild Roses TTT and Fromentine Tour de France Stage 1. (Ask Rebecca Wilkinson about the connection…) Road Nationals in Kamloops, a UCI BMX in Quebec and the 24 Hours of Adrenalin in Canmore attract riders from across Canada, then another CBTL track meet, a Calgary BMX weekend and the Stampede RR in Okotoks brings ’em home. Our Masters (who are the best, I have the figures to prove it…) do nothing but ride, eat and sleep for the 10 days of the World Masters Games. July finishes with the new DirtGirls Devon Dirty Dozen enduro. August jumps right in with the Bowness Crit, the first of the Provincial Championships. To get you up for the crit, there’s a COP hill climb the day before. A Canada Cup XC at COP in Calgary follows, while our best young riders go to Regina for the Canada Summer Games. (See. I told you to go the Saskatchewan races.) Our best BMX’ers go to Red Deer for an Alberta Cup. The TransRockies fits in while CBTL hosts the Track Provincials, then Red Deer’s CABC hosts Road Provincials. Lethbridge hosts an Alberta Cup BMX and Deadgoats host the Provincial XC. In September, everybody goes back to school and forgets about racing. Yeah, right. You should be peaking for the Provincial ITT and TTT, the Masters RR, the Bowness Nationals XC, the Norquay Provincial HC and the Western Nationals BMX Finale in Abbotsford. And then there’s cyclo-cross. All the usual suspects and some new ones: Pedalhead Road, Velocity, United Cycle, Deadgoat, CABC. See you at the races! I’ll be the one behind the camera or the stopwatch or the FinishLynx photofinish or the clipboard or maybe behind the third last bike. m Opposite: Rob Onodera took his best digicam and his best bike to Penticton for the April 4-11, 2004 camp.

Ok, they’re blue in the online version… Spring 2005 Alberta Spin 9 10 Alberta Spin Spring 2005 ABA Learn to Race clinic Edmonton May 2, 2005 The ABA has responded to the increased interest in road racing (perhaps due to the upcoming World Masters Games) by operating Learn-toRace clinics in Edmonton and Calgary. ABA coaches help fulfill our mandate to provide education to new and experienced rider by teaching skills useful to racers and to riders in general.

BM A supplement to the Alberta Spin magazine Redcliff BMX- Excitedly joining the ranks of The Alberta Bicycle Association and the Canadian Cycling Association is the new Redcliff BMX Association. This small community is located 10 km west of Medicine Hat. With a population of some 5,000, the people here are excited about having a successful regulation racing track. Redcliff has been the home of a BMX track for 10 years now. The small track, located in downtown Redcliff, was built by the local Lion’s club who wanted something more for the local kids to do. The track is very well used and maintained regularly by the riders who use it. With a little vision and a lot of support from dedicated and experienced Alberta BMX members, the town unanimously agreed to donate the existing site and add more land to help make the track regulation. The town of Redcliff generously offered to help build the track up, as well. All the dirt to be used is donated. Local officials have even offered to come out and help build. We are very excited to announce the Lion’s Club of Redcliff is continuing their support of BMX in the community by becoming a major sponsor of the Redcliff BMX organization. Other community businesses are coming on board as the news gets out and we anticipate a thriving beginning for our club in 2005. Enough dirt has been hauled to build two of the Okotoks BMX- Okotoks BMX Club will once again be holding a charity race. Saturday June 25 is our 3rd annual charity race and we would like to extend an invitation to all the Alberta Tracks to come out and race on that date & help raise money for our charity of choice this year. In 2003 we raised over $2800.00 for the Kids Cancer Care at the Alberta Children’s Hospital. In 2004 we raised over $2000.00 (with bad weather) for the Sunshine Dreams for Kids. For 2005 our charity of choice will be the Foothills Regional EMS. The money raised will go to the Teddy Bear Program & The FREMS Bike Team A “Grand Opening” date has been set and we would like to invite Alberta to come to our place for the day! Join the fun on June 11th 2005. We will be scheduling beginner riding from 10 am until 2pm. The track will then be available for all licensed Alberta Bicycle riders to showcase our sport to the community. Registration for this day will be announced closer to the time and a small keepsake from Redcliff will be given to all riders. For donations of unused items or questions about the newest club in Alberta you can contact: Adrian Kelly President at [email protected] or 403-548-2285.m Our Teddy Bear Program has proved to be very community-friendly and over the last several years we have become known for our teddy program. On average we give out a bear a day through the course of the year, throughout the region. When children experience an ambulance ride or even if they must come along with us for whatever reason, we often need to comfort them, particularly a frightened or sick child. Some teens even find themselves feeling just a bit better when they are given a teddy bear from the EMS folks who have cared for them. The FREMS Bike Team is a highly visible, highly mobile response team of volunteer Paramedics and EMTA’s who are trained in bike handling skills. This very successful team attends many community events such as parades, fairs, races and recreational activities where access and mobility are key. Our team served at the Alberta Summer Games in Okotoks and High River last year and was a huge success. Funds will go to improving equipment, training and promotion of the team. m Bears n Bikes by Cherie Helm President Okotoks BMX Club (403) 938-1833 (403) 938-3235 [email protected] www.okotoksbmx.com The track design has been created by Victor and Justin Doehring from Medicine Hat using the UCI track building program. Their design will to help introduce new riders to the sport of BMX racing, while still offering challenges for the more experienced riders. The new executive is busy gathering sponsors and acquiring all necessary items to operate and organize a regulation BMX race. Any and all items from other Alberta tracks that are not being used are greatly appreciated. The members of The Redcliff BMX Club are anxious to meet everyone from all of the Alberta and Canadian tracks in 2005. Please accept this as your personal invitation to come and visit your newest neighbours and say hi! New kids on the block several corners in the new area and dirt is being dropped regularly by the community. by Sue Hetherington BMX Mom 12 Alberta Spin Spring 2005 # Name Club 14 Expert Male 1 Alexander Sailer Airdrie BMX Redman Yamaha 2 Kayd Herriman Airdrie BMX 3 Brandon Brown Calgary BMX 4 Justin Stirling-Mackenzie Calgary BMX Redline B&P 5 Kyle Perry Edmonton BMX United Cycle 6 Derek Howie Calgary BMX 7 Eric St. Pierre Airdrie BMX 8 Jordan Kay Calgary BMX Travis Morrow Okotoks BMX Go Hard Sports Junior Female 1 Keriann Brown Wrex 2 Amy Brown 3 Lindsay Edwards M1 M 2 M 3 Pts 1 1 4 6 1 2 2 2 3 1 1 4 1 6 5 8 4 4 2 10 3 4 3 5 2 3 4 5 3 2 4 3 8 9 11 13 Airdrie BMX 1 1 1 3 Airdrie BMX Airdrie BMX 3 2 2 3 2 7 3 8 2 3 1 4 5 6 4 2 1 3 5 6 1 7 2 7 DNF:6 8 3 10 4 14 5 17 1 2 1 3 1 3 2 7 3 4 6 5 6 4 2 5 3 4 6 5 12 12 14 15 1 1 1 3 2 2 2 6 3 4 3 4 3 9 4 12 Junior Male 1 Justin Gundlock Lethbridge BMX 2 Cody Bell Airdrie BMX 3 Matt Yoisten Okotoks BMX 4 Jesse Kowall St. Albert BMX 5 Lori Smith (EF) Okotoks BMX 6 Christine Quennell (EF) Airdrie BMX Elite Male 1 Damian Bissett Calgary BMX 2 Evan Mcclessand Calgary BMX Big Bros 3 Kenny Arthur (17-29XM) Calgary BMX 4 Neil Fluet Edmonton BMX 5 Trent Batchelor Calgary BMX 6 Christopher Nakamura Okotoks BMX 8 Expert Female 1 Victoria Stinson Edmonton BMX World Doors.com 2 Rachelle Nielson ???

Thanks to all the downtown businesses who allowed their streets to be closed off for the afternoon – particularly to InForm Cycle for all their organizing, and Devonian Properties for contributing to the prize purse. The 40km ITT had a huge turnout yet again, with over 120 competitors. Strong west winds provided a challenging ride back to Canmore. Bruce Copeland yet again set the fastest time of the day with a 55:11– remarkable considering the conditions. Jessica DeMars posted the fastest women’s time of the day with a 1:03:38. 14 teams contested the 6-up Team Time Trial with Bicisport taking the Men’s race (again very windy) with a strong 52:34 and a composite team winning the Women’s in 1:03:38 Thanks to all the hardy volunteers who gave up their weekend for this event and congratulations to Race Director Shawn Taylor for banging his head against the wall enough to make this happen. m Opposite: Matt Decore (Pedalhead Roadworks/Sleeman) puts the bike down after a barrier at the Hardcore Hop’n’Hurl..

Averaging between 35 to 40 km/h into the wind, we were certainly making good time. After about 30 minutes, I realized I had ridden up to the front and was happily sitting on Lance’s wheel. Not a bad place to be but I figured it was a good time to say hi so I rode up beside him and we chatted about mountain biking, the local trails and the probability of the wind subsiding. Sorry but in Alberta at this time of year, fat chance buddy! I figured we might get a bit of a tail wind as we headed up the climb and then wished I had had a camera when I mentioned that the climb was 40 kilometers long (I think someone left that part out of his course description, how convenient). by Christine Ezinga O n September 26, 2004 I was fortunate enough to accompany Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie, Chris Carmichael, Phil Liggett and approximately 40 other cyclists on the Tour of Courage. The Tour took us from Longview up and over Highwood Pass to Kananaskis Village, all under the watchful eye of Johan Bruyneel who was behind the wheel of a support vehicle that shielded us from traffic and who kept us informed of what was happening in the peloton. The Tour of Courage ride happened in conjunction with the dinner the previous evening in support of a new Molecular Epidemiology Research Chair at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary. In just over a year, the organizers of this event have raised about $5.2 million towards the cause. Those interested in sharing dinner with the honored guests could do so on the Saturday night and those willing and able to contribute (or in my case raise) $25,000 would have the opportunity of a lifetime - to spend a day in the saddle with Lance & company on the Sunday. Our day started early with the bus departing from downtown Calgary at 7:30 am. Luckily, there was a Starbucks nearby so most of us left armed with some sort of caffeinated beverage. On the bus, a few riders remarked that they thought it would be a nice moderate pace and seemed to expect an easy ride through the Rockies. Oh how wrong they were; the reality of the day would soon become apparent. The bus arrived in Longview and we enjoyed a breakfast feast. It was every rider’s dream, an endless supply of muffins, toast, omelets, cereal, fruit, juice and of course more coffee. Our bikes had all been tuned and prepped by the team at Ridley’s Cycle the day before and were lined up, ready to roll. After breakfast each of us was equipped with a headset so we could hear what was happening, like when to expect a line of cars to pass, when to expect a break and when to expect cattle wandering on the road (welcome to K-Country riding). Lance arrived via helicopter while we were preparing and took the time to sign a mountain of goodies and then posed for an individual photo with each rider. We continued with the aggressive pace up the Pass and allowed for regrouping approximately once an hour at each feed station. I lost touch with the lead group on the final climb but given the amazing scenery, I did not mind. I kept turning it over, joined on a couple of occasions by Phil Liggett who seemed a bit annoyed at the pace being set by his “Boys in Blue”. He informed me that he had ridden less than a 100 km in total since June so I was duly impressed by his fitness. Apparently Phil does not pay as well as Lance because despite several requests to pull him along, big George Hincapie was off somewhere at the front having fun with Lance, launching small attacks and waiting to see who was foolish enough to try and follow. There were times when Phil and I were fortunate enough to have Johan slow down as he drove by (in, you guessed it, a Subaru!) so we could pace behind. Phil let us all know at dinner that an RCMP officer drove every vehicle in the entourage except for Johan’s, who relegated his officer to the backseat. That was probably a good thing as Johan has a particular skill for ensuring other vehicles don’t interfere with his riders. One driver/fan/hazard was more interested in taking pictures while driving beside us on the wrong side of the road. Johan’s response was, (insert Arnie-esque heavy Germanic accent) “I’ll move him.” We then witnessed Johan’s border collie-inspired herding skills. The grind continued to the top of Highwood Pass where we stopped for a photo and many Lance fans greeted us, hoping to catch a glimpse and maybe an autograph. I quickly inhaled a banana and stuffed a PowerBar in my pocket, grabbed my bike from one of the Ridley’s staff who was kind enough to fill my water bottles before descending the mountain. The descent was loads of fun - wide open and fast. Lance can really fly down a mountain. He blew past me as if I was standing still at one point (and I was doing over 80 km/ h). Some might have expected that the descent would be a good time to recover from the climb, but it was a sprint to the bottom! Once we arrived at the base of the descent, the pack stopped to regroup and it was game on again. The pace did not slow and that had us heads down as we approached the turnoff for Kananaskis This page: Christine and Lance. Photo by Ken Cheung.

I had never realized the “short” climb to the hotel was so steep but after 129km, it seemed like L’Alp d’Huez. Most riders had exhausted themselves at this point and suffered for the duration of the final climb. It was well worth the effort as we found a tent of food for a post ride drink, snack and visit and I finally ate the bar I had grabbed way back at the top of Highwood Pass. Then it was off to the hotel to warm up and prepare for dinner. I followed Chris and George to the Delta, waiting while they stopped for numerous photos and autographs along the way. Lance had to leave prior to dinner due to another commitment; however, the rest of the guys were able to stay and this was the best chance we had to sit and talk with them. Phil had stories about races he had ridden while racing in Europe as well as tales about some of the riders he has met over the years (all good). He is on the road about 200 days out of the year announcing European races, which limits his riding time. Lori-Ann Muenzer shared some of her Olympic stories at the table over dinner. It was exciting to hear about her experience in Greece and we are all looking forward to cheering for her at the China 2008 Olympic Games. Each of the celebrity riders who attended this event was really down to earth. I had the opportunity to meet Lance last year at the dinner and it was fantastic to be able to come back and ride with him this year. At the end of the day, he is a guy who genuinely loves to ride his bike and recognizes his capacity to use his 23 success to help people, in this case the Cancer Centre in Calgary. I owe the opportunity I had to participate in this amazing ride to a long list of supporters, both corporate and individual, who believed in the cause and in me enough to reach and exceed the $25,000 minimum contribution level. It was a lot of work but IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! I had a rare opportunity to support a great cause and ride with some of best cyclists in the world. I met some amazing people along the way: cycling enthusiasts who I hope to ride with again next year, cancer survivors who reminded me that this is about far more than a day with Lance and the boys and the physicians who address cancer on a daily basis searching for new ways to help their patients. Thanks to everyone involved with this ride. It was an extraordinary cycling event in Alberta and I would love to see it happen again next year. I would like to thank each and every one of my supporters, which included numerous anonymous individuals and the following companies. Without their generous contributions, I would not have been able to reach my goal.

P robably the most common question asked of a Sports Medicine Physician by cyclists is related to the Iliotibial band (ITB). We all have two of them, and among cyclists there is always a good chance that one or the other is harassing us. Q: What is the ITB? A: The ITB is a wide band of fibrous tissue. It starts near the hip, where it is attached to a muscle called the ‘ Tensor Fascia Latae’. The ITB passes along the leg and inserts on the tibia (Shin). In doing so, the ITB passes across the knee, which tends to be the source of the problems. Q: How does the ITB become injured? A: This is usually an injury of repetitive use, not one of a sudden injury. When we bend our knees, the ITBmoves back and forth across a prominence in the distal end of the femur called the ‘lateral femoral condyle’. As the ITB rubs on the femoral condyle, friction can develop, and this can lead to inflammation and pain. This is called the ‘ITB Friction Syndrome’. Q: Where is the pain usually located? A: Pain is located on the lateral (outside) of the knee joint. Usually the area is tender about 1-2 cm above the joint line. Pain is often occurs consistently with exercise. Bending the knees multiple times may bring on pain. Q: Why me? A: There are four likely causes of ITB band problems. Likely, you will need a Physiotherapist or Physician to evaluate you before the true cause is found: 1. Tightness of the ITB itself at the knee 2. Shortening of the ‘Tensor fascia latae’ at the hip 3. Tightness of the ‘Gluteus maximus’ (buttocks). 4. Excessive strength of the ‘Vastus lateralis’ (one of the quadriceps). You should feel a strong pull at the right lateral knee. Repeat as needed for the other side. Q: What about saddle height? A: The ITB tends to cross over the ‘Lateral femoral condyle’ when the knee is at about 30 degrees of flexion. Lowering the saddle will lead to reduction of flexion, and may, in certain individuals, minimize the movement of the ITB over the condyle and eliminate friction. This must be balanced of course with the problems associated with a lower seat, reduced power development, and pain developing in the anterior knee. Rise to Infamy for the Ilio-Tibial Band My Band is so Misunderstood Spring 2005 Alberta Spin Excessive early season riding is often the precipitant. Q: What can I do if the symptoms occur? A: Firstly, get an expert to evaluate you; correct diagnosis is the most important factor. Treatment initially includes rest and ice until pain is controlled. Stretching and massage may help to relieve tension. Strengthening and stretching of accessory muscles of the quads and buttocks might also be necessary. Steroid injections are occasionally used. Surgery is a last resort for resistant cases. Q: How do you stretch the ITB? A:This is by far the most commonly requested stretch. This is MUCH harder to explain than to do. If you want to try at home, stand up, and start following these instructions. To stretch the right ITB: 1. Stand up 2. Cross right leg behind left 3. Twist toward the left. 4. Bend down at the waist 5. Reach with your right hand and and try to grab the heel of your right leg Ciao! m Dr. Franc-Law holds certification in Emergency and Sports Medicine.

P roWalk/ ProBike, organized by the Washington, D.C. based National Centre for Bicycling and Walking is held every two years in municipalities that bid for the opportunity and at the organizers’ discretion exemplify superb bicycling and walking facilities and programs. 2004’s conference was held in Victoria, B.C. after intense lobbying and four years’ organizational efforts by hosts Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition and the Capital Bike and Walk Society. This marks only the second time in the Conference’s 24-year history that it’s been held outside of the U.S. (Montreal hosted a joint VeloMondial, World / ProBike conference in 1992.) 600 attendees from wide-ranging backgrounds included planners, landscape architects, transportation engineers, politicians, state, provincial and federal staff and active living, health, liveable community, bicycling and pedestrian advocates. Presentations, technical to general, worked well in this setting and spawned questions, solutions and dinner discussions with an intriguing multi-disciplinary flair. This year’s Conference theme was “Creating Active Communities” where bicycling and walking opportunities feature prominently. Pre- and post-conference sessions included an Active and Safe Routes to Schools Institute, a Bike to Work Workshop, a Bicycle Tourism workshop and rides (with return shuttle) on the Capital District’s Galloping Goose rail-to-trail conversion, complete with a salmon bake luncheon. A sampling of session topics included: 3 Teaching community design to health educators; 3 Road diets: What to do with all that asphalt? 3 Development of regional cycling networks; 3 Canaries in the coal mine: Planning cities as if children mattered; 3 Are we providing shared-use paths that are safe for all users? 3 Active living by design - the rubber hits the sidewalk; 3 School siting and design for active communities; 3 How to run a walking meeting; 3 Bicycle crossings on major roadways; 3 Converting roads to trails: Understanding an emerging national trend. Jeff preps his bike at Sidney (Victoria) Airport’s bicycle workstation. The facility takes up 2.5 parking spaces front & centre at the Airport’s parking lot. Amenities include a 2sided bike workstand, shop bench, bike box bin (take or leave bike packing boxes), floor pump, egress map, bike rack and signage. The tent roof is a temporary assembly to be replaced by a more sturdy structure “after the conference”. The facility ties in well with the Airport’s widened road shoulders and connections to the Lochside rail-trail corridor. Some 5 second ‘gems of wisdom’ gleaned from the Conference included the following: 3 “Ego-centric planning” - when planners plan what’s most familiar to them rather than accepting community needs; 3 “Lack of travel independence” is what is most important to parents’ concerns for their children after travel safety items are addressed; 3 “Plan for children” - cities will then be better for all, rather than planning for “people” only; 3 “We need more pauses in our lives.” Walking in our neighbourhoods could offer that opportunity; 3 Never underestimate the value of volunteers’ work in changing a municipality’s transportation priorities; 3 In the period 1994 - 1999 Vancouver’s downtown pedestrian movements increased by 55%. This was the first period since the onset of the automobile revolution that fewer people arrived by car. 3 There’s a strong case to be made for the value of ‘Gross National Happiness” vs. the predominant concept of Gross National Product. If a population is healthy then they are likely to be happy and productive. 3 Children’s invented theme for a walk and bike to school event: “Save the Earth. It’s the only planet with chocolate.” (Editor’s note: The recent Huygens probe that landed on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, detected methane, ethane and other hydrocarbons but, conspicuously, none of its fancy instruments recorded any evidence of chocolate.

Maurice Bernard, now retired to BC, was the editor of the ABA Newsletter for many years. He established the Newsletter Award to recognize club success at Provincial Championship events. The Award has changed over the years to reflect the disciplines contested. Gold medals are worth 15 points, Silvers 10 and Bronzes are worth 5 points.

I now had the opportunity to gain more distance up the last climb. by Marg Fedyna The Devil’s Punchbowl Road Race NE of the San Gabriel Mountains, California April 30, 2005 G oing into the finishing stretch of the first 16mile loop of three loops, I went to the front of the large pack to step up the pace. The scenery was awesome with views of the fresh snow on the tops of the San Gabriel Mountains, but I was bored riding at the casual pace of the pack. My heart rate was super low, and I wanted to get in a good training workout for my first road race of the season. The loop consisted of a 1000’ 4-mile climb, a fast 1500’ 6-mile descent into the wind with a couple of sharp turns, 5-miles of rollers deceptively climbing, finishing with a 1-mile slight ascent. On the first loop, the pack stayed together on the steep climb and descended in one big mass on the sharp turns. Too scary! After seeing what the course looked like, I was adamant to get the race going! It was into loop two that I hauled in front for a good long stretch. As I dropped off, riders gave me a “nice pull” comment. We were now at the base of the climb that started at 3-5% grades then snuck in some 9-10% grades. The climb looked deceptively less steep than it actually was. I looked around the pack for the “climbers” and was hoping to break away with a small group. The pace kept strong and I stayed in contact with the front racers. I glanced over my shoulder and saw that the pack had crumbled significantly. I realized it would only be the leading woman and myself in a possible break away. I took the lead, with the woman on my wheel, and continued my pace. When I glanced back, she had dropped off. Farther back, I could see a handful of women forming a group. What should I do? Wait… or go on… What the heck… let’s go! For the rest of the climb, I decided to open up the throttle. For the descent, I was going to do whatever I could solo until they caught me. It’s all for training anyway. Snaking around the corners, I reached the top and was blasted by the wind. I continued on the descent spinning as fast as I could. I scrunched myself up as small as possible to be more aerodynamic. Whenever I sat up, the speed dropped immediately, so I reluctantly curled back down. I had to sit the whole time, which is a record for anyone that has seen me ride! I tucked and pedaled and cornered, wondering how long I could keep away from the chase group. I reached the start of the rollers and took a break to eat. The descent took way more energy out of me than the climb. I looked back for the first time and the pack of 6 riders was closing in on me. This fuelled me to pedal hard again as I went full force up any little bit of climb. Marg doing some climbing at the 2004 Provincial ‘Cross in Canmore I worked at a steady pace into the last loop up the climb. The wind was even more jostling for the last descent. Pedal, tuck, pedal. I was so scrunched into a ball on my bike I was wavering back and forth on the road barely peeking over the handlebars. One last glance back confirmed the pack was not in sight. Climbing the last mile to the finish, I was ecstatic that I took the chance to defy the little voice. The voice that usually tells me “I’m too small” or “I’m not strong enough to pull downhill, let alone into a headwind”. My breakaway just happened. It seemed like the best move at the time. The bonus was gaining the confidence from attempting something seemingly unattainable for a small person! m Spring 2005 Alberta Spin Spinny Stuff Spinny Stuff Spinny Stuff Spinny Stuff 37 On October 6, 2004 in Calgary, the Alberta Olympic and Paralympic athletes and coaches from the Athens Olympic Summer Games were honoured. In all, 52 athletes and coaches were recognized. clinics offer it all. Detailed instruction given in a controlled and non-intimidating environment lets you experience and practice technical skills before hitting the singletrack. The Paralympians honoured included Stephen Burke (Cycling - Coach) and, Bruce Penner (Wheelchair Cycling). Among the Olympians honoured was Lori-Ann Muenzer (Cycling). Yet more congrats to Olympic Gold medalist Lori-Ann Muenzer (Juventus) for receiving the Bobbie Rosenfeld award as the female athlete of the year for 2004. When you see her, thank her for being an inspiration. Bobbie Rosenfeld was a track runner named female athlete of the half century in 1950. Xelle clinics are designed to allow every participant to learn and practice skills in order to excel at the task at hand. A basic knowledge of mountain biking is helpful but not necessary. Each participant will receive a manual of mountain bike skills broken down into an easy-to-read format. Check out www.dirtgirls.ca and select the calendar for more info. August 7-13, 2005 www.transrockies.com Lori-Ann also joins people like Diane Jones-Konihowski (Olympic pentathlon), Sandy Jacobson (marathon) and Susan Nattrass (trap shooting) as ambassadors for the World Masters Games. www.2005worldmasters.com. To the above add inclusion on the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport and Physical Activity’s (CAAWS) list of most influential women in sport. Way to go Lorie-Ann! Also On the CAAWS list is Dru Marshal, Associate Dean of Phys Ed and Rec at the Uof A. Ms. Marshall notes that neighbourhood design that eschews the simple direct access of Edmonton’s traditional Cartesian grid (i.e. a tangled mess of culs-de-sac) deters people from walking by making it difficult to get to and from places that are quite close as the magpie flies. Similar sentiments are at http://www.goforgreen.ca/ provinces&territories/AB/ pdf/TakingSteps-Aug2004.pdf DirtGirls are again hosting some excellent mountain bike clinics for women (13+ years), Wednesdays throughout summer.

After some introductions, President Tim Harris clarified the respective roles of the BoD and ABA committees such as the BMX and Recreation and Transportation Committees. “The BoD is the rudder of the ABA but does not do the sail-setting that the committees do.” He distinguished between the ABA’s Bylaws, changeable at Annual General Meetings, and the operating Policies and Procedures that guide the BoD and Committees and that they set themselves. Executive director Shauna Richard and Member at Large (MaL) Jeff Davis will review these. The ABA Strategic Plan guides all of our activities. Central to that is our Mission Statement: “To act as the organizing body that promotes all aspects of cycling in Alberta.” VP Admin Brys Francis, MaL Bruce Sorensen and Shauna will review the Mission Statement noting our intention to provide leadership and support and to increase public awareness. Looking 3-5 years out, our plans include many youth programs, retaining current members and encouraging enthusiasm for trail maintenance. Our outreach should include young and non-competitive cyclists and the general public. We want to increase our capacity to handle member needs and encourage excellence in our programs in coaching, organizing and officiating. We look to improve our communication including enhancing the ABA web site and attracting more volunteers in order to maintain our leadership position in Canadian cycling. Specific strategic initiatives include: Build a strong racing program. We intend to have many well-attended, well-run events including national and international events each year. BMX figures in this with participation in Provincial Team projects and a bid for the 2007 World Championships. All disciplines will have and retain certified Coaches. Facilitate the introduction to organized cycling. We will increase membership by attracting new members and retaining existing ones. Attractions will include ABA information brochures, camps and clinics and Can-Bike projects. Develop a strong volunteer base. We will support our Coaches, Commissaires and organizers and encourage participation in the Board of Directors and the various Committees Have an effective organization. We will support, develop, improve and increase our staff. This means a Provincial Coach and a Communications Coordinator. Improve communication between the ABA and its membership. We will enhance the ABA website, develop and distribute brochures and encourage contributions to the Alberta Spin magazine. (That means you!) 41 Maintain a strong financial base. We will maintain a good relationship with the ASRPW and other funders. We will operate in a flexible fiscally responsible manner. Protect and advocate the rights of cyclists. We will complete the Advocacy manual, work with other organizations including municipalities and the Alberta government. We had a long discussion about the Bylaws, specifically the voting privileges at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). This reflects the discussion that arose at the 2004 AGM, where the assembled members put forth many ideas. This is an important subject as the ABA evolves and we look forward to hearing from members on the subject. As always, the subject of money reared its ugly head. Actually, it wasn’t so ugly this time. Expected and actual budget figures are in line and 2005 affiliation and license fees and race levies are unchanged from those of 2004. We will be adding a Communication Coordinator to the Edmonton staff in 2005. We also expect to continue to receive support from the Shell Development Grant program. This program has been a much-appreciated part of ABA activities for several years. We also have some money collecting dust in the Cycling Endowment Fund. We have had ideas from Grassroots Initiatives to support for World Championship-bound riders. What do you think? Insurance’s head was definitely ugly and inescapable. Cost and liability affect everything from touring clubs to dirt jumping. Better news included inviting the IMBA Trail Crew, familiar to Southern Albertans, up to Edmonton and a year-end awards gala celebrating ABA members’ achievements. If that isn’t enough in the way of glittering social whirl for you, you can help out with the World Masters Games social event. ABA’ers are big in the Canadian Cycling Association (CCA). At the CCA National meeting in Ottawa in November 2004, ABA President Tim Harris was elected chair of the Interprovincial Council and will represent the council on the CCA’s Insurance (the i-word again...) Committee along with ABA Executive Director Shauna Richard. ABA Technical Director Andy Holmwood was re-elected to the High Performance Committee and ABA Events Coordinator Kevin MacCuish continues on the CCA Events Committee. ABA member, Coach and Alberta Spin contributor Natasha Ward is now on the CCA Development Committee. All in all, a busy meeting as a prelude to a busy year.

This is going to be an enjoyable report that goes way back to August 2004, you must be excited! You see, while flying back from Europe after the World Championships/World Cup finals, I wrote about this past month, which will come later. First, I need to talk about the final 3 Canada Cup races which took place before my Euro trip. After the first 3 Canada Cups I was leading the series and had races in Calgary, Fernie and Kamloops remaining. I was still trying to make the Worlds team; all I needed to do was make sure a nice guy Kona racer named Peter Wedge didn’t win the next two Canada Cups. Well, at Calgary I was barely able to ride and ended up dropping out and crying in the fetal position. I thought that maybe next time I would race without my purse, therefore allowing me to crush in a manly way. I simply felt horrible and was sooooh slow. My coach and I talked about what I should do since according to my training, Calgary should have been a very strong showing. We decided that when I do small volumes of hours my legs just don’t come around, and maybe if I bought an Ab Roller, did a million crunches a day, and did a huge workload for the next week my legs would wake up. Over the following 3 days, I did epic 6hr rides and I actually started to feel things coming around. I am kidding about the million crunches you know; it was only a half million. At Fernie on race day, I even did a 1-hour ride at 7am. After all this I felt great, leading for 3 of 5 laps, then I proceded to lose my next 3 bottle feeds due to a broken bottle cage and faded a bit in the 35C heat. So I ended up 3rd. Once again, Peter Wedge took the win. Cripes, on that day I thought I was the strongest rider there and I was so close but just couldn’t hold on. At that point, it looked like my Worlds goal was no more. But I still had my Canada Cup leaders jersey and the series to win. Kamloops was the next race and once again, I did a large volume of hours the week of the race. Oops, this time I might have over done it and I felt pretty pooped. I pushed through with a 5th and yeah! I was the overall Canada Cup winner! Yee-haw! So at that point, it seemed as though my last race would be the Alberta Provincials the following weekend in Canmore. I have not won Alberta Provincials, since I was a junior in Canmore. Actually, I have won every Alberta Cup race I have been in for the last 4 years except for Provincials, what’s up with that? This was the first time since ’96 that Canmore hosted Provincials and it’s still my favorite place to race. The course was old school like something really old and it was full of technical single-track and drastic trails that suited me well (drastic is the new word for extreme). I felt great and yes, I won my first Provincial gold and champion’s jersey. It was good to get that off my back. I was a bit disappointed because my form was great and this was my last race of the year. One of my goals at the start of the year was to make the Canadian men’s Worlds team. After the Canada Cups, I had been told I would be the first alternate for the team of seven riders. I had dreamt of getting the call but had given up hope with the race coming up so soon. Then it happened, our top rider couldn’t make it so all I had to do was get to France as soon as possible. I checked out flights and it looked like the trip would cost me about $4500 with such a late flight booking. So I asked good old Brys Francis at United Cycle to help me figure out how I was going to get to France. Then, word got out that I would have to pay for my national kit, and that’s when it all went down. The next morning I woke up to a phone call from CBC radio, as soon as we discussed a time to do an interview the other line rang, it was CBC TV wanting to set up an interview at my house. Great, I thought maybe I could go for my 5hr long ride after the interviews. 1 minute later the phone rang again, this time it’s CFRN and they want to do an interview, whaaah, “yeah I’ll be right over as soon as I meet with CBC,” I said. As I’m waiting for CBC to come to my house I received another phone call, this time it’s the Edmonton Journal and we set up an interview over the phone and a quick photo shoot for the next day (yeah, I’m like Fabio). Holy socks Batman, then I remembered a week ago I had already planned an interview with A Channel good guy Jamie Thomas. In the end, I did 5 interviews and a 5 hr ride with butterflies the whole time. Most definitely my most insane day ever, not to mention worrying about booking a flight and everything else to come. I flew out the next day after another 5hr ride, which looking back now, may have been an hour or two too much. Drearily I flew into Geneva, Switzerland where I sat worried for about an hour until some more Canadian riders showed up. Eventually we were picked up and drove to the site of the World Mtb Championships in Les Gets, France. I roomed all week with Canada’s (and the world’s) best cross-country riders. It was good to finally meet and chill with the guys I read about in all the mountain bike magazines. I never hesitated to toss around some trash talk with any of them, which is my way of making sure we are all on the same level. You see, I think high-level athletes are like bees, they can smell fear so you have to show them they are the same as everyone else by trash talking them. Great example, huh. However, all of my rides during the week did not go so well, I felt crappy. My legs felt really heavy, maybe from the jetlag. Now about the race, yikes, it was not so good. I had a bad start and felt sluggish/gassy/heavy/obese/bacon. There were thousands of screaming fans but I just couldn’t get it going. The day ended with me in 65th and I was pretty upset. A top 35 would have gotten me carding, which Spring 2005 Alberta Spin means that I would receive a much needed $900/month from the government and $1500/month if I did it again next year. So now it’s Monday and I’m flying home on Tuesday, but there is one last World Cup (1 of 6 this year) in Livigno Italy. So I called home and asked sweet old mom to check with Air Canada and see how much it will cost to move my flight back a week. Woops, there was a misunderstanding, the flight got changed and I was going to Italy. Uh oh, since this was my first time in Europe I had no idea what to do and how to get there. Monday I went sightseeing with the down hillers to Europe’s tallest mountain Mont Blanc, and yup, it was pretty tall. When I got back I was up until 4am trying to figure out how to either change my flight back to normal, or stay and do the last World Cup. First off, I had to get to my hockey buddy’s place in Torino, Italy. Tuesday was all set for travel, bus from Les Gets, France to Geneva, Switzerland (2hrs). This is where, for one last time, I tried to change my ticket back to normal. I was told if I would have been 15 minutes earlier I could have done it. Tears formed in my eyes like when Old Yeller died and I had no choice then, train it to Torino (8hrs). So I go to pay for the train with my Visa and nope, it doesn’t work. The train leaves in 20mins and I need a bank. I ran around the airport/train station like a chicken with its head cut off, with my huge bags. aahhgg, I eventually got on the train in the nick of time. That one took me to Milan, which was a good 6hrs. Then I’m to switch to the Torino train, the only thing is this one has no room for my huge bags. So I ended up sitting in the car entrance on my bags with the lowly smokers who can’t smoke with all the other people. Poor me, it’s soooh sad. At last, I arrive in Torino and try to give my friend a call. Now what the heck, I can’t get this phone number to work, even when dialing the proper area codes. After 1.5hrs of pulling my hair, I bought an Italian calling card, got a hold of a Canadian operator and talked to my friend who then picked me up. I was sure glad to see someone I knew. Now for some good news, Alex’s apartment was so nice. It was in a building from early 1700’s and right by the University in downtown Torino, just amazing. I spent 1 day riding a beautiful mountain pass and I even saw a pro Saeco rider come down as I went up, ahh Europe. That day was great, but the next I spent trying to figure out how to get to the race in Livigno. This, believe it or not, took most of my time. Why me???? Later that night I took the free train to Alex’s pro hockey game and I was just pumped because, yeah, the train was free and I saw a hockey game in Italy, waaaahhh. So my trip to Livigno was on Friday, and it started with me missing my booked train back to Milan (more hair pulling but a couple hours later I got going), then north to Lugano, Switzerland where I have to ditch my train/ bus idea because the next train isn’t until tomorrow. So I have to rent a car. I grab a tax, put my bags in and say,”to Avis car rental.” Okay, the huge bags are loaded and we start driving. Then we stop after 300meters (no joke), 47 “That’s it, well, that wasn’t far. Why didn’t you tell me?” He pushed some button and the meter said 20. Huh, 20 Swiss Francs ($20 Canadian) for 300meters, WHAT, YOU ^%$&^(&)*! I swear this sums up my whole trip. So I rent a sweet ride and head to Livigno, Italy on Swiss roads. Wow! This country is wonderful; these roads were meant for race cars. I did five mountain passes and had a pretty fun time of it too. My Opel 10 horsepower (guessing) rental car was rally car racing all the switchbacks. After 4 hrs of driving I arrived in the motherland of Livigno and stayed with the nice guys of the Gears racing team. About the race, it was to be my first Euro World Cup, which always get over 150 racers. This one had 216 or so registered, I even got the nice plate number of 216. The previous race, World Championships, had 96 racers because to go you have to qualify with your country. So there is many strong riders that can’t go because their country has only so many positions. Well, at Euro World Cups everyone can race, and they do. Because I did the Calgary World Cup, I had enough points to put me in 80th spot on the line. They line up 10 wide in each row so I was row 8, and it went all the way back to row 21. That’s so far back you need binoculars to see the front, haah-haaah-aauugg. Not funny. On the start line I’m wondering what I’m doing at a World Cup in mid September, then we’re off, hiiiiiyaaaaah. Wrong sound effect but it was crazy, guys were going nuts, there was a crash behind me, then I brake hard to miss a crash in front of me. Next is a right turn and I set up outside because everyone is always trying to take the shorter inside line. I probably moved up to about 60th or so. Everyone was making huge efforts on the first super steep climb of 1.5km so they could get to the single-track first, ugghh. Then it all stops, and it sounds like a cornfield in Saskatchewan, whatever “nothing” sounds like, and we slowly file onto the singletrack. Imagine 200 cars going from a 10-lane highway to 1 lane and that’s what you get, or maybe 10 combines going onto 1 farm road, just gridlock. The next 2 laps are a blur because it’s so jammed you can’t even pass. Eventually, by the third lap, guys are starting to crack and I moved up nicely from 80th to 50th or so (not bad for my first Euro World Cup I’m thinking), then KABLAMMO, my body says “Basta” and my legs started cramping. With 1 lap to go I limped home and finished a somewhat respectable 69th place. It was much better than my 65th the week earlier. So I’m not happy but kind of satisfied since a few years ago the top Canadians were back in the 40’s and 50’s, and now they are in the top 10. So, now my flight is landing and my 36hrs of traveling with 3 hrs sleep is coming to an end. Thank you to everyone for all your support and for reading my up-beat good news update. See you at the races.
