So we went downtown last night for the Twilight Criterium and got to watch the Women’s and Men’s races. The men’s race was quite exciting! Trent Wilson, the contender from Jittery Joe’s cycling team, managed to hang with the pack the whole race and positioned himself for a great finish. It came down to the usual suspects: J.J. Haedo from the newly formed Toyota United team, Gord Fraser from Health.net, and last years winner Vassilli Davidenko from Navigators. Davidenko won the race on a well-timed attack from the hill up Washington St. Trent managed 6th place, which is his best finish yet. The crowd was really rooting for the home town guys.
All in all, it was a great race. Can’t wait for next year.
