Pack mentality seemed to be a trend at the weekendBԪַs BԪַNascar of cycling road racingBԪַ the 2019 Canadian Masters Cycling Championship.

Scott Goguen, sporting a bit of road rash from a spill in one of the races, took the menBԪַs 50-59 Canadian Masters Cycling Championships criterium crown. Taking a few turns at the front of the pack, Goguen broke away on the last lap.

BԪַI just waited as nobody wanted to break,BԪַ he said. BԪַbut sometimes you just have to break the ice.BԪַ

In the early morning races, the pack mentality continued with titles determined at the line.

BԪַShannon (Baerg) and I wanted to pull the group apart in the first few laps. It was a very tame race,BԪַ said Victoria Wheelers Samantha Hoft who claimed another gold with the 30-39 crit win, giving her two golds and one bronze for the weekend.

Shining a light on the bright future of cycling was the Russ HayBԪַs Grand Prix Youth B Race with 13-year-old Kimberly Chen who came in third in the youth race, catching her breath and within the hour claimed an emphatic victory in the Novice / Cat 4 womenBԪַs race. Her younger brother and sister also went home with (participant) medals in the Tim Hortons Timbit Challenge where 200 kids aged three to 10 BԪַracedBԪַ for prizes donated by Tim Hortons.

It took until the 29-minute mark of the MenBԪַs Cat 3 race for the spectators lining the course to see a successful break away as four riders sprung free from the field: TaGBԪַs Aedan Crocker and Caleb Bender; Riverway Dental RacingBԪַs Kevin Park and Glotman Simpson CyclingBԪַs Colin Fowlow. The four maintained a three-quarter of a 1K lap lead until there was one lap to go. The bell lap then showed the benefit of having a friend by your side as the TaG-team finished one-two (Crocker, then Bender) at the line. Park took the last spot on the podium finishing in 36:53 while Fowlow took fourth, three seconds back.

In the Russ HayBԪַs Grand Prix elite womenBԪַs race, 18-year-old track sensation Sarah Van Dam, racing for Trek Red Truck p/p Mosaic Homes, swept the course clean by winning all the primes ($250 in total) and astonishingly saving some strength for the end.

The final race of the weekend BԪַ the elite menBԪַs cat 1 - 2 BԪַ was taken by Trek Red Truck RacingBԪַs Riley Pickrell. For a list of the full results visit .
