le Tour de Terra Cotta - Results and Photos
Final results have finally been posted on the sports stats WEBSITE.
Terracotta today was a little overwhelming for all including the officials who seemed to have trouble keeping track of the results.
We have not yet seen the official times posted for the time trials, from what we know Ema was top 10 in both the road race and time trial, Summer was 4th in the time trial and 3rd in the road race. Sheannah was 2nd in the 19+ girls in the Beginners road race and Chantal was 5th in the 20-29 girls in the Elite road race.
The Intermediate road race however was not fun with 177 starters, despite doing a great job staying with the lead group for 52km Dan and James went down 100 metres from the finish in a crash that sent Bruce Camacho and Pierre Perrin to the hospital. Somehow, due to no major injuries and chip technology Dan still managed 34th and James 40th overall after picking themselves up and finishing. Somehow Pierre also got up and finished 60th with a broken collar bone and Bruce 149th on a stretcher in an ambulance. Tough day for the racers. Congratulations to all for a valiant effort under tough conditions.

Thanks to Lorne, Gabe, Jeff, Dennis, Wayne, Bobby, Colline, Peter and Jane for showing up to support the team.
Tom Jehlicka Memorial Criterium, Cobourg - 2012 Results
Chantal was stuck using this race as her Commissaire Technical Assistant day, so was unable to race with the rest of the team. Clint, Mark and Dan entered the Sport category, for a 45 minute + 3 laps race. Here's my track log on Strava. The weather was threatening thunderstorms, so that likely scared of many of the participants. Unfortunately, that left many unknown riders in the field, as most were locals, and they were working together to make us work.
An early break formed, and the pack never came back together. There were small jumps trying to close it, and even a 7 lap effort from Dan with a great leadout by Clint, but no success. Final placing as reported HERE:
1. Noal Savage (Peterborough C.C.)
2. Zac Wheeler (Peterborough C.C.)
3. Phill Vermette (Euro-Sports)
4. Chris Herten (Cobourg C.C.)
5. Kieran Andrews (Peterborough C.C.)

The club today completed the best attended championships in its history. We all have families, injuries and commitments and it is very difficult to find dates that can suit everyone. Between our August 21st and September 19th events we saw 18 competitors in 3 groups compete for and walk away with $900 in cash plus 3 trophies. We also introduced the first kids race and saw Nicole Carter walk away with a medal.
The weather was incredible, cool and sunny and those who joined us for Roti and doubles afterwards seem to enjoy it. The winner of the C group was a new club member Leslie (Elf) Guillemette, the B group someone who has been trying for years and finally put it together, our official club coach Wayne Henry and in the A group no stranger to the honour, after a 2 year absence Dan Thompson. We missed Anthony, Len and Jeff today as we missed Derek, Mark and Jonathan in August.
Thanks to Lorne & Gabe for their work, Rolph, Hugh, Peter and Jane, who did not compete but were on hand to lend their support and take photograph, also Sheannah and Arty for marshaling the corners and keeping traffic out of our way. Finally all the family members who showed up to cheers us on and make today very enjoyable for us.
Cheers,
Steve.

Category “B” Champion – Ronnie des Vignes
More PHOTOS from the championships are available HERE
Our Club Championships concluded today in beautiful sunny and cool temperatures. Thanks Lorne, Gabe, Sheila, Elf and Jane for organising and photography. Having missed the first half Derek showed up and proved he would have been in contention for the overall honours by winning both the Road Race in 1 hour 5 minutes (Avg. 43.33 km/h) and the Hill Climb in a new record time of 0:54:11 previously held by Ed Ounjian at 0:55:41 in 2000.
The overall winner however having won the Sprint, Time Trial and placing second in the Criterium, Road Race and Hill Climb is the new 2009 Club Champion Hank Verhoeven. Jeff having been stuck in California on business and Dan nursing an injured knee (from hiking not cycling) will be back next year with renewed energy and respect for the challenge.
The B group was just as interesting with Peter Hein back from 3 weeks in Europe (No cycling) winning both of today’s events.
The overall winner however and 2009 B Champion is Ronnie des Vignes having placed 2nd in the Time Trial, Road Race and Hill Climb as well as 3rd in the Sprint and the Criterium. Chantal and Jason proved they were competitive with Chantal winning the Criterium and Jason placing second in the Sprint.
We missed you Wayne, Tom, Dennis and Joseph for different reasons and hope you will be back next year when again we hope to have enough participation to justify 3 categories.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Hank and Ronnie.

The three categories were each very competitive this year.
The 34 km Road Race on Saturday August 18, 2007 was a wonderful race. During the second and final lap Derek de Gannes and Jeff Archbold broke away during the hills on the north route and by the time Dan Thompson crested the last hill they had managed a 200 m lead. Dan gave chase but was only able to recover 150 m of their lead. Derek won in a very close finish with Jeff not a bike length behind. During this final lap Chantal Thompson of the B group managed to hold onto the A group and finished just over a bike length behind Steve Hamilton.
The hill climb was won handily by Derek de Gannes with the only time registered under 1 minute @ 58.59 seconds.
The Sprints were held for each Category. In the A group, Hugh Carter won by a couple of bike lengths with Jeff and Derek close behind. In the B Group, Jason Ortepi beat out Chantal Thompson by a couple of lengths. The C group was won by Dennis des Vignes with Bill Figuera and Compton Gonsalves in 2nd and 3rd.
The Time Trial brought out the best in many of the competitors. The A group was won by Dan Thompson with Derek de Gannes second and Jeff Archbold with the third best time. The best time recorded in the B Group was by Chantal and the C group winner was Dennis des Vignes.
The final race for the overall championships was the 20 km Criterium. The B group managed to hang in with the A group throughout the race. During the race a Prime was held at lap 5 and this was won by Hugh Carter. A second Prime was offered for those 60+ and this was won by Dennis des Vignes. A third Prime was offered for those 50+ and this was won by Wayne Henry. The finish was amazing as 8 riders rounded the last corner, with all seeing the finish line and wanting that 1st place finish. As you can imagine the finish was very tight and was won by Dan Thompson with Steve Hamilton and Wayne Henry close behind. 4th place went to Chantal Thompson (a B rider) with Jeff, Tom, Derek and Jason all following close behind.
The overall winner on points and the Club Champion for 2007 was Derek de Gannes.
After the event all the prizes were awarded and all attendees were treated to lunch and refreshments at the nearby Swiss Chalet.
Another great job by everyone involved and thanks to all for the great cycling!

Midweek Results - Tuesday June 19th
In the early race, Madonna's Dan Thompson took the early sprint, but it was the midrace break of Ian Campbell, Liza Miranda and newcomer Drew Molnar that picked up double points at the halfway point before the pack woke up and reeled the move back in. With eight riders now with points in hand it was looking like a close race but Thompson's high placing in the subsequent sprints gave him the overall lead ahead of the charismatic Chris Kirk and Rob Anderson (CoachChris.ca/Ted Velikonja), who would take the final sprint.

Midweek Results - Tuesday June 5th
In the early race a three man break got off early with Matt Campbell (D'Ornellas) picking up the majority of the points. The break worked well together, but with four laps remaining Brian Kelly (Cyclissimo) returned to the pack, but he had accumulated enough points to lock up third place. The duo out front battled it out to the end and Madonna Wheeler's Dan Thompson took the pack sprint for third place.
