Round and Round

87 riders turned out for this years 8 Creekin' Hours hosted by the Rockets. Bet you didn't know there was mountain biking in Wheatley?

Competing in either an 8 hour solo, 2-person, 4-person relay, or 4 hour solo, riders contested a 9.1 km course to turn-out as many laps as possible over 480+ minutes.

Great atmosphere, grass-roots, and a well run event are just a few of the highlights, and whether you are a novice or seasoned racer, there is plenty of appeal for everyone.

Met lots of great people out on the trails and swapped some good stories. Did you know that Chatham has a road cycling scene? Apparently if you show up @ Smiths Cycles @ 6:30 pm on a Tuesday you can tag along on a group ride. Crazy.

Other Notes:

There is another hot new local cycling site out there, Tomato Velo. Sure the post(s) are minimal, but wait for it, once it gets rolling it will be a must read. Did anyone know that there is a cycling scene in Leamington? Well judging by Tomato Velo at least 5 guys form the scene.

Founder and proprietor, Stew, will have plenty to type about after his successful assault on the Alpe d'Windsor - word is that the cotton tee will be the hot set-up for the climbing epic.
