Hey Everyone,

I made the trip up north to a smaller race this weekend in Barry's Bay.  I had never been up there before and the country is beautiful so it was a nice drive up.  I must say this was one of the nicest bike courses i have ever been on.  It was a new bike course this year but the pavement was recently paved and smooth with lots of room to ride on the shoulder at times.  The course was an out and back course with about 4 steady hills each way and smooth fast downhills.  Fantastic!  It was a little busy as you arrived into town as none of the roads were closed but it was only one intersection.  It was a well organized race with some good competition and it included a BBQ afterwards and excellent merchandise prizes, all for $30!

Anyway, I had a solid race and placed 4th overall in the women...just missed the podium! grrrr  I definitely would like to go back next year to this race and I highly recommend it!

Good luck this weekend for those racing in Peterborough!
