Team Escape Velocity Cycling Club

So it was the last night of WTNC, and we had some fun.

That's Bill Riley on a period-correct Gitane, riding in clips and straps, winning the Retro division (aka first DNF, Cat 4). The rider is period-correct for the bicycle, too.

Here's EV's Ted Martin, holding his hard-won "ugliest jersey" trophy:

The big winner on the night was WTNC head, Brian Postlethwaite:

More photos of the evening here. Not shown: OUCH's Andrew Pinfold winning the 1/2 race after a break-chasedown so fast he red-shifted, Wolowic drinking half a pitcher of beer in 2 minutes at the after-party.

We also drew for the Garneau Bike Raffle prizes. We'll list the official winners shortly. Suffice it to say that sorry, you didn't win the bike.

Meanwhile, in provincial championships, EV went kinda nuts on the podiums.

BC TT Champs
Mike Sidic (Garneau Evolution): 3rd, Elite Men

And a special mention to Alex Pope's son Casey, who hasn't joined dEVo yet, but didn't let that stop him from taking the gold medal in the U13 Boys category.

Garneau Evolution did everything but take the podium in the champs, with Thompson, Skinner, Sidic, and Abercrombie taking 4th, 7th, 8th & 9th respectively.
