Springbank Race Report

May 2, Race Report for Springbank Classic

Like the other races last weekend, the forecast called for rain all day in London. We had some good luck though and the rain stopped before the first race-and began again just after the last race.

The course was a 2.2km loop with a small decent and a small rise—tough to launch a breakaway. There were quite a few attacks during the first half of the race, especially from Krystal Jeffs and KK Michener from NanoBlur-Gears (and a few by me) but nothing stuck. Finally, a prime lap was announced. I lead KK out for the sprint. (If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em : ) Suzie Brown from P-K Express came with us and suddenly we had a gap on the group. At that point, KK flatted and Suzy and I were left to shatter ourselves trying to stay away.

We definitely shattered ourselves but also stayed away—so I finished in second place. I was excited to represent Stevens on the podium!

Good luck to Tricia and Mel at Albion and congrats to Annick and Michelle on bringing in another podium finish for the Stevens team at the Granby ITT!
