News Archives - 2008

It was a fun filled evening, filled with revery, drink and some lound Yaletown brewpub song.  After a month of recovery, I was finally able to muster the energy  to figure out how to hook up the USB cable, download the photos and upload them to the site! Yes, it took a month, but trust me the photos are well worth it!.

The week started well for Team Glotman Simpson with a win on Thursday at the Coastal Challenge. While not officially part of Superweek the Vancouver races were supplemented with some out of town talent and John Perkins pulled off the win to extend his lead in the series.

Friday brought the Tour of Delta prologue, a 3 km TT with a little hill and some nasty wind. Svein Tuft had a dominating win followed by team mate Andrew Pinfold and Bissel Pro Scott Zwinzanski. Glotman Simpson twins Chris and Maurice Worsfold had twin times only 3 hundreds of a second apart.

Marie-Claude Gagnon finished 5th in the RR.
Maurice Worsfold showed a very strong performance in the men`s race with plus 100 riders!
