June 19, 2009 (Banff, AB) – The 1 A Sprint, the second road race of the 2009 Banff National Park Bike Fest, today blazed its way along the scenic and winding Bow Valley Parkway near Lake Louise. The hairpin turns and breakaway sprints along the 80 kilometre course offered the 128 male competitors a challenging and memorable road race.

Jamie Sparling of Trek Red Truck Racing p/b Mosaic Homes narrowly outsprinted Tim Sherstobitoff (Total Restoration Cycling Team) and Mark Macdonald (Team H&R Block — Kona) for top spot in this inaugural version of the 1A Sprint. As a result of a 1-minute time penalty, Rob Britton narrowly lost the General Classification lead – his teammate Sparling will wear yellow into tomorrow morning’s time trial.

Cyclists will be racing through the streets of Banff and throughout Banff National Park over the course of the four day event. Bike Fest features a total of seven road races including an Individual Time Trial and Criterium both taking place on Saturday, June 20. Bike Fest wraps up Sunday, June 21 with the Tunnel Mountain Road Race.

The weekend also features two family-friendly events. The Balkan Restaurant Little Crits Race will have kids from three to eleven years old racing their bikes along the same course used by the pros and the Hoodoo Cruiser Crit will have participants donning fun costumes and riding brightly decorated bikes as they race through the streets of Banff.
