Beautiful weather continues at Canmore Nordic Centre for the cross-country Mountain Bike Canadian Championships Master events
It was a changing of the guards of sorts, as every Master category saw a new Canadian Champion crowned at the Canmore Nordic Centre in Canmore, Alberta.
In the Men’s 30-39 category, cross-country skiing Olympian, Gordon Jewett of Canmore, AB (Rundle Mountain Cycling Club), won a two-man battle against Graham Torrie (Bike Bros). Despite the fact he has had two incapacitating back operations in the last few years, Jewett continues to impress by his sporting accomplishments. Completing the podium was local cross country skier Robin McKeever, Paralympian guide to brother and history making Olympian Brian McKeever,
Mike Hunter (Rocky Mountain/Different Bikes) dominated the 40-49 race, with a winning time of 1:28.09, a lead of four minutes over his closest competitor Alaric Fish (Rundle Mountain Cycling Club).
Robert Anderson (Specialized Masters Team) finally won the coveted National Champions jersey, in the men’s 50+ category, after being runner-up and third numerous times over the past decade.
In the women’s races, Joanne Thompson (Ride With Rendall) in the 30-39 category and Loni Klettl in the 40-49 category lead from the sound of the start pistol.
Thomson’s time of 1:16.21 was a full minute and thirteen seconds faster than second place finishers Carrie Tuck (Top Gear p/b Calgary cycle) and four minutes, three seconds faster than third place Nicole Muzechka (Terrascape Racing).
Klettl also soloed to victory, leaving all her rivals behind on lap number one. Her nearest competitor, Cathryn Zeglinski (Northlands Medical Clinic) finished a minute and eight seconds back, while Lisa Lepoole (Terrascape Racing) completed the podium by finishing three minutes and thirty eight seconds of the winning pace.
The 2011 Mountain Bike Canadian Championships are scheduled to return to Canmore again next year.
