For the bulk of the Sudbury Cycling Club riders, the in-house club races last Saturday spelled the end of their competitive season. But with club bragging rights on the line, the intensity remained high as both the A and B group contested a time trial road race, as well as a criterium.

Well-known traithlete Mike Coughlin fared well in the time trial, edging Derek D’Angelo by three seconds to capture top spot in the A grouping, while Wayne Aylincheck picked up the first place ribbon in Division B, out-sprinting Michel Barbeau by just six seconds to the finish.

It was a very different race for the criterium, as Rob Rice began to take control midway through the 30-kilometre event, finishing first with D’Angelo matching his earlier second-place finish.

In the B grouping, it was Trevor Rickwood pulling away from the pack and crossing the line first, while a closely bunched troika found Michel Barbeau, Roy Hums and Laura Haapamaki completing the 20-kilometre circuit in rapid succession..
