May 30, 2007 – Once again, a young rider took the stage during the second week of the Mike’s Bike Shop Cup. The race was won by Dieppe’s Jean-Richard Cormier. Jean-Richard has been part of the Centre’s programs such as Sprockids, Junior Track League, Pepsi Cup, etc. since the beginning. Mike Leblanc and Jeff Currie sprinted to the line for second and third respectively. Cormier and LeBlanc are now tied for the series lead, each with 180 points but Cormier will get to wear the Leader’s Jersey next week as he was the stage winner. Next week, because of the handicap system, Cormier will move up to a higher category and will have to fight even harder to defend his lead.

The Mike’s Bike Shop Cup is a series of local races held every Tuesday night at 6:30. Following 3 weeks of mountain biking, we will be hosting some road (time trials and criteriums), track, BMX as well as cyclocross events.

Registration is 5$ a week with a portion of all registration fees going to a charity (will be chosen by the overall winner of the series). Many draw prizes are available every week.

This series is open to cyclists 15 years of age or older. All levels of abilities are welcome as we have a handicap system to even out the field.
