June 4, 2007 (Yarmouth, NS) – Dustin MacBurnie of “˜Team R.A.C.E’ won Sunday’s Provincial Road Racing title in Yarmouth, NS and in the process completed the coveted “˜Double’ by winning both the Provincial Time Trial and Road Championships in consecutive weeks.

The Open Men’s 110 km event really got rolling after the 40 km mark when six riders broke away from the remainder of the field and worked together to build a significant lead. In the final few kms attacks within the lead group whittled it down to four riders- Hub Racing’s Chad Lennon and Lorenzo Caterini both of Halifax, Terry Tomlin of Dartmouth and the heavily favoured MacBurnie.

In the high speed sprint to the line it was MacBurnie who streaked across the line a bike length ahead of team Opus-Easton’s Tomlin. Lennon rounded out the podium by taking the Bronze medal for 3rd. A third year professional rider, MacBurnie is currently training in Nova Scotia in preparation for an upcoming race in Quebec – the Tour De Beauce – which will see him and his Team R.A.C.E teammates facing off against many of the premier road teams in North America and Europe.

Jeanne Ju of Halifax also achieved the prestigious “˜Double’ by winning both the Open Women’s Time Trial and Road Racing Championships in the past two weeks. The on-form Ju of the Bicycles Plus team has a perfect record this season having won every event she’s entered. Ju powered her way to the Gold by building more than a minute’s lead over team-mate Kaarin Tae during the women’s 88km event. The Bronze was won by Wolfville’s Jennifer Adams.

The 2007 NS Provincial Championships were hosted by the Sea Level Cycling Club based out of Yarmouth, NS. (results are attached)
