Eight Blizzard Masters riders came out and rode the Goodlow 40 km circuit, Sunday, to get their times for the World Masters Time Trial Challenge (WMCTT).
In this event, clubs from Canada, the US and abroad run this type of event and send their times in to see how they compare to a time 'standard'. These times are them compared to the other clubs to see who is fastest.
These times can't be released until the event is done in September. Kevin Shaw, Pat Ferris, Bob Andrews, Les Elliott and George Gamble's times beat their respective standards so we will see how the total compares.
Thanks to Bob, Pat, Pat and Jake for organizing this event!
