MTB O'Cup #1

Woodnewton (Uxbridge) Ontario, May 5th 2024

Cannondale Scalpel… the Race Bike of choice for the LDCC (Just ask Derrick)

The First MTB O-Cup race of the 2024 season took place on a wet day in May. Three LapDogs ventured out to race in the rain, Andrew Hilton-Wigg, Mark Brusso, and Derrick Cho. From all reports, it was a fun, very muddy race, especially for those who did more than 2 laps.

Our LDCC Results:

• Andrew Hilton-Wigg, 16th Men's Sport 35-44

• Mark Brusso, 3rd Men's Expert 45-54

• Derrick Cho, 6th Men's Sport 55-64 *

* From a personal perspective on racing his newly upgraded bike : “ Love the Cannondale Scalpel esp with the upgrades, notable standouts, the SRAM MTB AXS drivetrain and the Cannondale Lefty OCHO Carbon which just excelled in adverse conditions. For those LapDogs Cycling Club members that haven’t gone wireless or OCHO, don’t wait! ”

#RideCannondale #RaceWithThePack

Thanks Derrick for the report, photo and review of your Scalpel.

The Gravel season kicked off with the spring classic Paris to Ancaster in typically rainy and muddy fashion. We had another year of the pups supporting this event in large numbers with riders across a wide range of categories including two multi-generational pairs: Tim Griffin and his son James… and Chris Robinson racing with his daughter Cassidy (who came in 1st in the F19-34 category racing with Milton CC - she is also an LDCC member)

Highlights include Karen Duff blazing the 100km field to place 1st in her category, with Maureen Wolfson placing 4th. Andrew Fieder placed 3rd in his category and 6th overall in the 45 km race, while James Griffin came in with an impressive 81st Overall Male in the 100km Cento.

Paris Ontario

Kate and Andrea…. all smiles after a tough race.

The return (after a 2 year break) of one of Ontario's legendary Spring Classics and one of the grandfathers to Gravel Racing in North America, the P2A featured well over 2000 participants in a multitude of distances and classifications. New for 2022 was the 100k route... a huge test for early-season fitness.

Unlike many past cold, wet and muddy events, this year’s race was held under a sunny sky and with warm temperatures.

As has been the trend for many years, the LapDogs were at this event with a huge contingent of racers with well over 30 club members participating. By far, the largest team at this year’s event. Collectively they pulled in an impressive set of results including 3 Podiums! Congratulations to all.

Mosport Classic, Road O'Cup #1

Mosport ON.

After a two year break due to the pandemic it’s great to see road racing return to Ontario with the Spring Classic, Good Friday Road Race.

This event was held on the Mosport track, which is usually home to motor vehicles and race cars. With wide roads and a reasonably flat track, speeds were high and allowed racer lots of room to help get over early season gitters… especially important as no one has raced in a couple of years.

Our LapDogs had a small but capable crew at this event who all managed to accomplish some solid results.

• Jeff Lucuk, 9th Place M3 Men

• Tim Griffin, 12th Place, M3 Men

• Phil Major, 25th, E4 Men

Track Provincial Champion!

Mattamy National Cycling Centre, Milton ON

Congratulations Tim… 2022 Track Provincials Champion!

We are proud and thrilled to let you know that at the 2022 Track Provincial Championships, our very own Tim Griffin pulled off a spectacular race to win the overall Championship position for Master C Men 500m Time Trial. Top spot on the Podium!

Tim also pulled in some impressive results during the day’s collection of races:

• 3rd Place, Men’s Master C Pursuit

• 2nd Place, Master C/D Men Keirin

• 4th Place, Master C/D Men Scratch Race Final

Well done Tim…. you certainly put the “lap” into LapDogs!

Track O'Cup #3 (2021/2022 Season)

Mattamy National Cycling Centre, Milton ON

Jeff Lucyk powers to a 3rd Place Finish in the Kieren Race.

This past weekend, we saw two of our veteran LapDogs RaceTeam Members racing on the boards at the Milton velodrome and participating in the 3rd Ontario Cup of the 2021/2022 Track season. Under the guidance of LDCC Coach, Rob MacEwen, we ended the day with two solid podium positions.

Congratulations to Tim Griffin and Jeff Lucyk.

Our Team’s Results:

• Tim Griffin : Silver (2nd Place), Men’s Elimination Race

• Jeff Lucyk : Bronze (3rd Place), Men’s Kieren Race

Tim Griffin, 2nd Step on the podium.

Tim’s 2nd Place podium was done on a classic Cannondale CAAD Track bike.

LapDogs Cycling Club/Race Team Roundup

That’s a wrap on 2021!

Well, October has been a bit of a blur… with the pandemic delaying the start of race season in all cycling disciplines, a ton o’races have been crammed into October, so we are a little behind in keeping everyone up to date on the Pack’s results.

But the good news is that “a little behind” only describes our reporting, and NOT the race performance of our intrepid race team. Quite the contrary – the Dirt Pups have been putting the hurt on everyone in sight on the trails and between the tape.

Kitchener-Waterloo Cyclocross (KWCX)/OCUP No. 4 – October 24, 2021

The Waterloo Cycling Club always put on a great event and the KWCX was no exception. We had a nice warm day for this race, although the rain the day before made for some shenanigans out on the course, expecially as competitors rode up and down the ski hill at Bingeman’s park three times a lap, including a brutal grind up the notorious Hart Hill, named for our late friend and pack member Steve Hart. The Pack was out in force for this one:

• Christos Adamidis, 7th Master 3 Men

• Tim Griffin, 28th, Master 3 Men

• Barry Cox, 37th, Master 3 Men

• Rob MacEwen, 38th, Master 3 Men

• Kathleen MacEwen, 4th, Master B Women

• Mark Brusso, 3rd, Master 1 Men

Substance Projects Marathon Cup 3: Sausage Suit Individual Time Trial (8x) – October 30, 2021

Meanwhile on the trails, the Dirt Pups were out in force at Mansfield Outdoor Centre. Although there was a lot of rain in the 24 hours before the race, the trails held up beautifully and competitors were rewarded with either 15k or 45k of buttery-smooth singletrack….with a sting in the tail.

• Brett Kane, 5th, Men’s 35-50 age group, 15km distance

• Doris Xaioting Liu, 4th, women’s 35-50 age group, 45 km distance (despite having to run most of the last lap because of a busted freehub)

• Andy McKean, 7th, Master Men (Andy is also the Marathon Series winner for Master men, thus proving that showing up is indeed half the battle….)

• Barry Cox, 3rd, Single Speed Open

Ontario Cyclocross Provincial Championships – October 31, 2021

This is the one for all the marbles and the coveted title of Provincial Cyclocross Champion. Competitors were treated to Proper Cyclocross Conditions, due to a biblical amount of rain falling in the 24 hours before the event. Mud tires, rubber boots and a strong bike-handling game were prerequisites for this one, but a number of LapDogs were up to the challenge…

• Alex Sanchez, 7th, master B Men

• Sol Amos, 20th, Master B Men

• Mark Brusso, 3rd, Master A Men

• Kathleen MacEwen, 7th, Master B Women

Thanks to everyone who came out and raced cross country mountainbike, fatbike, gravel, track, road, cyclocross and virtual on behalf of the pack this year. We’ve had a great group of competitors out, and even better sponsors.

If you are reading this and thinking, “do I have what it takes to #racewiththepack?”, well, you probably do.

Stay tuned for an announcement regarding participating in the LDCC 2022 Race Team Program. And keep in mind, the Paris to Ancaster is just 5 months away… we’ll see you on the start line.

Toronto Cross p/b Midweek Cycling Club – CX O'Cup #4

Centennial Park, Toronto ON

Barry and Rob, at speed… Lap 1 in the Master 3 Race

Cyclocross Racing Returned to Toronto this past weekend at Centennial Park. This venue is a LapDogs favourite. Not only is it close to home, but the Midweek Cycling Club always put together a tough and challenging race course that takes into consideration some gut-busting climbs up and down the ski hill.

Despite rain falling most of the day on Saturday, the skies cleared in time for Sunday’s event. Because of the rain, the course was still slick and slippery causing the racers to rely on some serious bike-handling skills… especially on the grass climbs and descents.

At the end of the day’s racing, your LapDogs pulled in an impressive collection of results, including a 1st Place Finish, by Mark Brusso in the M1 Race. Well done everyone.

Our Team’s Results:

Master M3 Men

• Christos Adamidis, 12th Place

• Tim Griffen, 19th Place

• Rob MacEwen, 28th Place

• Barry Cox, 32nd Place

• Mark Montgomery DNF (broken saddle)

Master M2 Men

• Markus Schroeter, 9th Place

Master B Women

• Kathleen MacEwen, 4th Place

Master M1 Men

• Mark Brusso, 1st Place

• Alex Sanchez, 11th Place

• Solomon Amos, 17th Place

Tim, pushing hard in the Master 3 Race.

Substance Projects XC Marathon Cup #2 p/b Cannondale : The Kingston Trophy Series

Sanger Farm, Kingston ON

Well done Doris… 1st Place and Series Leader

It’s a good thing that the members of the LapDogs Cycling Club XC Mountainbike Race Team are not made of sugar, because they would have melted last Saturday! Our good friends at Substance Projects put on the second instalment of the XC Marathon Cup on Saturday, October 16, at the Sanger Farm in Kingston. There’s a reason why XC racers think nothing of driving from Toronto to Kingston for the day in order to race this event – the course is one of the most unique and fun on the race calendar – racers go through a barn, a corn maze and what can best be described as a Moto-X pump track.

Mother Nature, however, had other plans and dumped about 50mm of rain onto the race course in the 24 hours leading up to the race.  Fortunately, the race organizers were on the case and managed to re-route the race course in such a way that the trails were not damaged. But there was mud.  Lots and lots of mud…. Fortunately, the Pack was up to the challenge.

Our Team’s Results

 15km Distance

• Brett Kane (Cannondale) :  2nd Place, Mens’ 35-50 age category

• Adam Wenn :  3rd Place, Mens’ 35-50 age category (Adam will be moving up to the longer distance for the rest of the series.  Chapeau!!)
  

45km Distance

• Andy McKean :  7th Place, Mens’ 50+ age category

• Barry Cox :  8th Place, Mens’ 50+ age category

• Doris Xiaoting Lui :  1st Place, Women’s 35-50 age group (Doris is also the series leader)

The finale of the series is on October 30 at Mansfield, at the Sausage Suit Individual Time Trial.  Registration is still open for those who wish to come out and ride some buttery-smooth singletrack for the last MTB race of the season.

Riverside Rumble Cross Race, O'Cup #3

Bellville ON

For some, this past weekend was a weekend to give thanks, sit around the table, and feast on roasted poultry. The LapDogs Cycling Club Cyclocross Team, however, had different plans. Plans that involved pedalling on wet grass, running through deep sand, jumping over barriers and throwing elbows (in a sportsmanlike way, honest!) at the competition. Sunday saw a small but determined group of Pups head east Belleville to do battle at the 3rd O’CUP of the season, the Riverside Rumble. The course involved some off-camber tricky stuff at the start, two leg-ripping run-ups and a whole mess of wet, slippery grass. Good times!

Our Team’s Results:

• Mark Montgomery : 4th, M3 Men

• Barry Cox : 11th M3 Men

• Markus Schroeter : 7th M2 Men

• Oggie Sokolovic : 10th M2 men

• Alex Sanchez : 6th M1 Men

Next weekend sees the long-awaited return of Cyclocross to Toronto, with O’CUP No. 4 happening at Centennial Park in Etobicoke. Why not come and see what all the hype is about? Bring your noice makers and best heckles.

Hardwood Cross, CX O'Cup #2

Harwood Hills, Barrie ON

The cyclocross course at Hardwood Hills always adds in some serious challenges for racers. From steep run-ups to deep sand traps, this event has everything on the ‘cross menu. The LapDogs had a solid group of racers at this event and together, they pulled in an terrific collection of race results, including a 1st Place for Christos in the M3 Race. Congratulation to all.

Our Team’s Results:

Master 3 Men

• Christos Adamidis, 1st Place

• Mark Montgomery, 23rd Place

• Rob MacEwen, 28th Place

Master 2 Men

• Markus Schroeter, 5th Place

Master B Women

The Humbler Cannondale XCMarathon

Our Team's Results:

15k Race, Men 35-50

We Need More Cowbell, Cyclocross Race, O'Cup #1

Cyclocross is back, and have we all ever missed it!

Was the first time we’ve pinned numbers on a jersey in far too long. Cross is Back!

The first cyclocross race to take place in Ontario since October 2019 happened this past Sunday. The race in question was the We Need More Cowbell CX, the first race in the Ontario Cup series. The race had a new venue this year at Big Valley Campground in St. Catharines, incorporating lots of mud, wet grass, slippery climbs, run-ups, off camber corners and more mud. In fact the smoothest part of the course was the sand pit! There was a large contingent of orange, green and black-clad riders out on behalf of LDCC who made their presence known in all categories.

Our Results:

• Christos Adamidis : 13th M3 men (in his first CX race ever!!!)

• Tim Griffin : 14th M3 men

• Rob MacEwen : 24th M3 men

• Barry Cox : 26th M3 men

Reggie Rambler Gravel Grinder

Warkworth, ON

The Reggie Ramble presented a race course like no other. There are three unique loops starting and finishing at the historic Warkworth Fairgrounds devised into three challenging routes of 65km, 130km, and 200km. Our Team chose to to the longest and toughest distance - 200k.

Our Team’s Results :

200K Race, Men under 50

• Pierre-Luc Verreault, 11th Place (18th Overall)

200K Race, Men 50+

• Paul Potvin, 11th Place (39th Overall)

Eager Beaver 100, Gravel Race

Racing is Back…!

It has been a long time coming, but worth the wait....GRAVEL RACING IS BACK IN ONTARIO, and the LapDogs Cycling Club and Race Team were there in force for its return.

The race in question was Substance Projects' Eager Beaver 100, which was run out of Mansfield Ski Club on Saturday, August 7, and which led participants on a merry chase up and down the hills, gravel roads, ATV trails and in one case mud bogs of Mulmur and Collingwood. The course can best be described as "murderously hard". Our good friends at Substance Projects pulled off a logistical feat by running this race as a time trial (to allow social distancing) for 300 participants, and pulling it off without a hitch.

The Pack has apparently all been secretly training and was there in force to put the hurt on the competition, and to enjoy the scenery.

Results :

• Doris Liu: 11th, Open Women 100km

• Lise Munsie: 12th, Open Women 100km

• Kate Morgan: 14th, Open Women 100km

• Jason Mortlock: 38th, Open Men 100km

• Jon Warkentin: 50th, Open Men 100km

• Sol Amos: 91st, Open Men 100km

• Michal Gedrowicz: 53rd, Open Men 100km

• Tiago Varella-Cid: 5th, Masters Men (on loan to Bateman's Bicycle Co)

• Chris Cuylle: 7th, Masters Men 100km

• Mark Rowan: 8th, Masters Men 100km

• Jouko Haapanen: 9th Masters Men 100km

• Christos Adamidis: 27th, Masters Men 100km

• Paul Potvin: 30th, Masters Men 100km

• Andy McKean: 31st, Masters Men 100km

• Barry Cox: 41st, Masters Men 100km

• Colin Maclellan: 23rd, Open Men 40km

Well done everyone. So nice to see the LapDogs back into Racing!

Substance Projects, Ontario Fat Bike Series, #2

A fabulous showing of results from the LDCC at the second race of the series.

Barry Cox… game face!

Conditions were perfect at Georgian Nordic Highlands in Parry Sound for the second race of the Ontario Fatbike Series.  The course was like a 6km roller coaster.  On snow.   A number of members of the LapDogs Cycling Club & Race Team made the journey up north and the view was unanimous that it was worth the trip!

The post-race festivities look place at Trestle Brewing in Parry Sound, who were kind enough to supply some of their tasty adult beverages as podium prizes.   A number of members of the Pack won, placed or showed and took home Podium Beers.

Our LDCC Results:

• Kimberly Clark - 3rd Place, Womens’ Open, short course

• Doris Liu - 3rd Place, Womens’ Open, long course

• Barry Cox - 3rd Place, Chubby (3.0-3.6” tires) open, long course

• Alan Plata - 4th Place, Chubby open, long course, (and series leader!)
