June 27, 2005 – A hot, muggy day just outside of Waterloo at the Conestogo Lake Conservation Area saw some epic racing on smooth, fast roads. The course was relatively non-selective, with the big chainring climbs being such that the pack stayed more or less together the entire race.

In the elite men’s race, an early break that took off in the first 10k managed to stay clear for Darko Ficko (La Bicicletta) to take the gold; the women’s came to a bunch spring with speedster Julia Farrell (Wheels Of Bloor) winning over Leigh Hobson (Team Diet Cheerwine).
