Banff Bike Fest
Tuesday, June 18th, 2013When I’m not selling Real Estate … you can often find me out on my bike. This time of year I’m normally out the door by 5:15am and enjoying rides to Springbank … or on the weekend I go longer to Bragg Creek, or South towards Millarville.
This past weekend I took the weekend with my son and raced in the Banff Bike Fest. It consisted of 5 races in 4 days. It’s a pretty special event. On Friday the Lake Louise Road Race had to stop … as we seen three bears and one elk on the course!
There was lots of speed, some good results & spectacular Crit Crashes.
I was pretty well trained – and had the goal of a podium finish in Category 4.
In the end, I finished 5th in the GC in Cat 4. I’m a little banged up after being crashed out on the final turn, just prior to the sprint in the Crit. My son also had a crash on the same corner! He is healing well … but his bike is destroyed.
