Action begins Friday night with time trials near the airport
What could be a better combination than the retirement capital of Canada crossed with one of the cycling capitals of the country? The two-wheeled golden oldies will take over the streets of the South Island today through Sunday in the Canadian masters cycling championships.He added these are the kind of Spandex warriors any region would covet as visitors — highly active people, many of them in the professions, who are staying in local hotels and eating at local restaurants.
That includes Barb Morris of Cumberland, who will later this year attempt to break the women’s 75-plus, one-hour track record on the 2015 Pan Am Games Velodrome in Milton, Ont. Also to watch this weekend is Clayton Hiltz, a masters Canadian champion out of the Victoria Wheelers, a club that was notable in the 1980s for producing Olympians.
There is something for all of them at the national masters championships, which begin tonight with the individual time trial just outside the Victoria International Airport from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The road race runs Saturday to and from Hans Helgesen Elementary School in Metchosin from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The criterium race Sunday will encircle the B.C. Legislature precinct from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will include a bike expo and beer garden.
