TB/ES Cycling Team members Nigel Ellsay and Doug Merrick went down to Victoria for the Sunday running of the Caleb Pike Road Race. After an initial flurry of attacks Nigel and four other provincial team level racers established a five man break away that would last the duration of the hilly 63km road race. After lapping the field in an all-out breakaway saw Nigel attack to take the sprint on the tough uphill finish. After taking his first win of the season an ecstatic Nigel was surprised at how high his average power was for the 63km hilly road race; 280 watts.
Doug suffered in the road race and was happy his teammate got in the winning breakaway and could only watch as Nigel in the winning breakaway as he powered by with a couple laps to go before taking the win.
