Three riders from the North Bay Cycling Club competed in the Provincial Road Race Championship this past weekend in Aurora, Ontario. 400 racers from 10 classifications completed between 8-15 laps around an eight kilometer course of fast, hilly terrain.Roslyn Prisco won her 10 lap race in a decisive sprint to the finish against Tabitha Ferguson of the Waterloo Cycling Club. The race broke apart in the remaining 3 kms when Prisco and Ferguson gapped the main group on the last hill. The race came down to a final sprint with Prisco overtaking Ferguson with 150 meters to the line.Riding in the Master A category of 90 riders, Aaron Duquette and Kevin Stoppa completed 13 of 15 laps of the 123 km course. Both riders remained with the peleton until an unfortunate crash in the feed zone forced Duquette out of the main group. Stoppa and Duquette finished 56th and 57th respectively.Official Results

Despite overcast skies and cool conditions, eight riders took part in this evening’s ride. This momentous occasion marked the first official club ride and the first Tuesday night ride of the 2005 season. Although most people mounted their mountain bikes, the ride took place on the pavement, up Lees Road to Carmichael Road, through the Base and back down Golf Course Road. The ride was at a friendly pace and lasted about an hour. Great start to the season; there should be a solid group for both road and mountain bike rides. See you out there soon!
