Roy McBeth bided his time and conserved his energy last Saturday. Roy rode unlike himself letting prime after prime go to other rides and then timed his sprint perfectly to take the win. (Roy wants to especially thank Ann for all her support). Steve rode hard and battled flu symptoms and was still at the front of the peloton for laps. Mike was the third musketeer and rode hard hanging in with the Cat 3’s for the whole race and finishing in the top 20. Look for Mike and Steve at the upcoming Tour de White Rock crit, which happens to have a hill to suit both these riders.

In mountain biking news Steve and Barry finished in the top third of the men’s open category at the seven day BC Bike Race from Victoria to Whistler.

They also won the most beer consumed award (unofficially).
