Great news from Canada with "ourJosie" taking out the 4th stage of the inaugural Tour de Prince Edward Island. Featuring a big field of international pro women racers including Italians, Russians, Swiss etc this race is new to the calender, designed to follow the Montreal World Cup race held the week before. Josie had been showing great form earlier in the race taking a top ten in the time trial stage finishing a few seconds ahead of Sarah Carrigan, Olympic champion.

A big weekend of riding this holiday weekend starting with the Mt O'Reilly Challenge. Around 20 or so hopefuls turned up on a chilly morning but as usual the mountain was the big winner with only four exhausted riders making it to the top without a rest stop. However two of the four were newcomers to the Roll of Honour. Liam McCarthy conquered the mount for the first time and led the quartet to the top. He was closely followed by Simon Carlyle and other Honour Roll newcomer, Kevin Butterworth, and not so closely by oldtimer Blair Stockwell, who was particularly distressed at the top. Maybe he will need to use a bit lower gearing to alleviate the ravages of time and diminished riding!
