I had a great time at the Winnipeg Icebike race yesterday. Friends and family were out to watch and cheer me on which was much appreciated. The course was fast with fewer obsticals that some years, except for the crazy section on the freshly Zamboni’d skating path, which I don’t think anyone was able to ride. I’m hoping that my time and ranking was better than last year at 27th and 54:02, but there were a lot more competitors out this year.
Update:
Just checked the results, Rider: 618 Garry Stewart Time: 49:14 Place: 43
So, faster this year, but 43rd in a field of 57 vs. 27th in a field of 45.
Maybe next year I should try this one….
