Spring Series #2 & 3

5 members of the TB/ES Cycling Team headed to rainy Vancouver this past weekend for Escape Velocity's Spring Series #2 & 3. James and Mark Grant raced well in the U17 category, finishing 1st and 3rd respectively on Saturday. Doug Merrick, Andrew Grant and Nigel Ellsay raced both Saturday and Sunday. Merrick finished in the 'B' pack Satuday and fought through the miserable conditions to the finish on Sunday. Andrew Grant raced well but couldn't hold on to the 'B' group Saturday, and on Sunday his chain decided to break on him while under load. Nigel Ellsay raced in the 'B' group finishing 3rd in Saturday's sprint finish. On Sunday he won the sprint for 2nd beating the remnants of the peloton, which was 5 minutes behind the solo winner. These results turned out to be promising for the TB/ES Cycling Team at the start of their 2011 road season. Great Job Guys!
