After Saturday’s Canadian National Championships, Peterborough hosted the PTBO Lift Lock Cross UCI C2 on Sunday. The weather was very #onbrand for a Canadian Nats weekend, with a blanket of snow turning into mud and ice during the weekend of racing.
The top podium steps had a similar youth movement vibe to those at Sherbrooke CX hosted a few weeks ago in Quebec.
Ruby West (Specialized / Ten Speed Hero) took the Elite Women’s win the day after winning her second-straight U23 Canadian Nationals title. Catharine Pendrel (Clif Pro Team) took second and Jenn Jackson (AWI Racing p/b the Wheel and Sprocket) finished third.
Top honors in the Elite Men’s race went to Gunnar Holmgren (Hardwood Next Wave Cycling Team), who also won a U23 national title on Saturday. Marc Andre Fortier (Pivot Cycles – OTE) finished second and Elite national champ Michael van den Ham (Garneau – Easton p/b Transitions LifeCare) took third.
