Tuesday Night Criterium - Milton
|
HAMILTON CYCLING CLUB’S
TUESDAY NIGHT CRITERIUM TRAINING RIDE
by Sandy Cheskey
The Tuesday Night Criterium Training Ride Series had the most
successful season ever this year with a total of 124 participants. It
ran every Tuesday evening from May 1st until August 21st in
the High Point Industrial Park in Milton, with the exception of May 22nd
when we were rained out. Even then, Zoltan Wighardt, Luciano
Serafino and Brendan Duff showed up and had their
own training event in the rain.
The season saw some impressive personal improvements for Chris
Kiriakopoulos and Zoltan Wighardt. Way to go,
guys! Peter Mazur used our event as part of his recovery
training after knee surgery and Sue Palmer-Komar came out
several times to train here, too.
On August 28th, we had our Awards Ceremony/Party on the start line.
We started off with a points race which was won by Paul Rego
with Jason Valenti and Luc Serafino tied for
second and Mirek Mazur and Paul Hornak tied
for third. After that we presented $210 in cash prizes for the top 6 of
the season:

Some of the winners of cash awards were planning to donate their winnings to
the trust fund for the family of the late Jacek Wierzbicki. In addition, a
donation from the fees collected on Tuesday nights will be made to this fund
from the Hamilton Cycling Club.
Zack Morris was presented with a cyclo-computer as the youngest
participant of the season and Fred Pepper was presented with a
pair of “F’Red Hot Pepper” cycling socks to commemorate his second place
finish in the National Individual Time Trial Championships in Dieppe, New
Brunswick this summer. Twenty-four draw prizes were also awarded as part of the
festivities.
It was beginning to appear that we would have no pizza for our party as
planned (the order was “in the system” but no one seemed to know where!). Marissa
Cheskey saved the day by using her cell phone to track it down and then
going to pick it up personally. Thank you, Marissa!
I’ve really enjoyed organizing the Tuesday Night Rides this summer and hope
to see everyone back next May!
