May 18, 2009 (Durham Bridge, NB) – Here are the final results of the two-stage Tour de Dog Loop held on May 17. Living up to its name, the road circuit saw a return of some canine sprint coaches – they had been absent for a couple of years but riders reported that two rather large ones were present and in action on the circuit today. The rain was a bit of a downer and caused numerous DNFs due to flats or hypothermia but all in all the ability based categories worked well and gave almost everyone at least some pack riding experience.
