The day started under a light dusting of fog which later broke up to bits of sun. Overall it was a great day for racing as the rain held off throughout the day.

In the early categories the U17 men definitely set a blistering pace on one of the best courses of the year. In the end it was Benjamin Perry taking home the Provincial Gold followed by Brandon Etzl and Conner Rapus.

Not far behind the U17's were the U15's and an unbelievable performance by Mitchell Slobodian the lone U13 rider. The U15 category was won by Timothy Austen, Ottawa Bicycle Club followed by Adam Jamieson, Team Hardwood-Trek and Derek Gee, Ottawa Bicycle Club.

The Junior men exploded off the line and didn't let up the entire race. Even McNeely, EMD Serono Specialized broke away early and held off Sam Rykhoff, BikeSports Racing Team. Another EMD Serono Specialized rider, Karl Hoppner rounded off the podium.

Mellissa Bunn, The Hub Race Team and Jennifer Stephenson, Ultralink were the one of two sprint finishes of the day. After exchanging the lead throughout the race, everything came down to the final corner and the final climb. Mellissa just happened to have some extra Wheaties that morning and crossed the line inches ahead of Jennifer. They were closely followed by Tricia Spooner, Stevens Racing.

We would like to thank the Woods Family, Ottawa Bicycle Club and all of the numerous volunteers who took the time to make this event so successful. We would also like to thank all the riders who participated, without you none of this would be possible. Thanks for a great season!
