This was the Island Cup Series Finale and despite six hours of driving to and from Victoria, it was very well attended by the Comox community. Over a quarter of the racers were from the valley!
We were rewarded for making the trek with fantastic sunny dry weather, great trails with good traction and some excellent podium placements. This course was the shortest but most technical of the race series.
Team Trail Bicycles had a great turn out on the podium. Eva Leikemoser took second place for beginner women and had the most accumulated points to take the series title for Island Cup Beginner Women.
In beginner men, Ian Lehton placed first. Since he was tied for points for the Island Cup, the series title was decided by today’s race winner. Ian took the series title for Island Cup Beginner Men!
Hudson Webser also had an exciting race placing fifth today. He needed his foot race skills as much his mountain biking ones after putting a good ding in his rim and flatting. Hudson placed third in the series Beginner Men and received one of the very cool new medals!
Malcolm placed sixth today Beginner Men after helping his new little friend along when they got off the course and she fell. What a gentleman!
Anja Leikemoser finished first in her category of the Island Cup Series, U19 Intermediate Women!
