Actually, less than 1 week before the best ride of the year !!

I hope your fundraising is going well.  Here are a few picks of some of the prizes in our prize basket.  100$ raised gets your name in the hat for the draw and every 50$ raised above that gets your name in the hat again and again.  Those Oakley Jawbones are H O T !!!  And Ultegra road pedals  W O W  !!  Now, get out there and raise some $$ !!

Online fundraising is a quick and easy way to solicit for donations.  The JDRF site enables you to register for our ride on their site and create your own online Cyclebetes fundraising page.  Simply click here to register (https://jdrfca.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=register.start&eventID=901).  Once done, copy the link and send it to your contacts.  They can sponsor you online and print off their tax receipt.  All funds raised online will be added to your total on the day of the ride. 

Good luck with your fundraising...  and thank you very much for supporting the race to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes...

 Mike LeBlanc

 

More prizes from Shimano, PRO and Giant added to the gift basket to be drawn...  Again, $100 raised and your name goes in the hat for the draw.  Your name will again be added to the draw hat for each $50 above the initial $100.  The more you raise, the better your chances of winning these awesome prizes.

Also don't forget to register (and pay your $70 minimum donation to Mike's Bike Shop) before August 1st in order to get your $20 Mike's Bike Shop gift card.

Happy fundraising...  and riding to get ready for our ride on August 15th !!

A little over 3 weeks for the big ride. How much have you raised so far? As promised, a basket of goodies is up for grabs for your fundraising efforts. Here's how the draw for the basket will take place. Raise $100 (this includes your $70 registration, so just $30 more than minimum) and your name goes into the pot for the draw. For every additional 50$ raised, your name goes in the pot again and again. For example, if you raise $200, your name is in the pot 3 times, if you raise $250, your name is in there 4 times…

Welcome to the official Mikes Bike Shop Cyclebetes 200 website.  Less than 10 weeks for the absolute best ride of the year.  Sign up, start fundraising and spread the word!  Hope to see you on August 15th riding to cure Type 1 Diabetes...

The 2009 Mike's Bike Shop Cyclebetes 200 ride to cure Type 1 Diabetes on Saturday, September 12th was a huge success !!



About 60 riders participated and raised a total of $9000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).



The club as well as my daughter Adele and my family would like to personally thank all who helped organize, volunteered, donated and rode their bikes in support of our cause ! We'd also like to congratulate all riders who pushed themselves and managed to ride the complete 200 kms. For those who fell a bit short, make that your goal for next year.



Can't wait for the 2010 ride...



THANK YOU !



Mike LeBlanc

Site for the 2009 Cyclebetes is up now.  There are still a few things to be added but the essentials are here.  please contact us if you need any information

results for the last crit held this past Tuesday can be found here

Correction was made to the results.

we had incorrectly placed Lorne Allaby in 14th place (with 5 laps) when in fact he fineshed 9th in his category (with 6 laps completed).  Thanks for bringing it to our attention Lorne and sorry for the confusion.

to view all results, click here:

2009_5HR_Hillsborough.pdf

Sorry for the delay on getting the results out

you can see the results from the following pdf

2009_5HR_Hillsborough.pdf

On the right you will see the final number of laps and the final time.  final time is the actual time of day the rider went through the finish line

times for each lap were not always available (indicated by the greyed out box).  that means a lap was completed but no time was recorded.

2 riders did not have actual finishing times recorded, we have the number of laps completed but no end time... If you are one of these 2 riders and happen to know your time please let us know so that we can correct the issue... we apologize for this.

the 2 riders are

Andre Daigle

Shawn Skelhorn

to make up for the mistake we will give you 50% on your entry fee for next years race! 

hope everyone had fun and will come back again next year!

Once again, Mike LeBlanc and Jeff Currie showed they were the strongest riders in the greater Moncton area last night in the first of 3 criterium held at the Ecole Odyssée. They finished the event together ahead of the group. But under the Mike's Bike Shop Cup rules, mainly a developmental series, riders are handicapped according to their age and strenght.

After calculations, Sussex's Neil Symington took the win and the 100 points. He was followed closeley by Justin Mallet and Mélanie Bordage, both of Moncton.

On the general classification of the series after 7 weeks of racing (3 of mountain biking and 3 of time trialing), Symington now holds first place, tied with Craig Harper, both with 415 points. Justin Mallet (405 pts), Julien Roussel (385 pts) and Marc Evers (370 pts) complete the top five.

Here are last night's results:

	Name	adjusted time	Points
1	Neil Symington	00:41:43	100
2	Justin Mallet	00:43:17	90
3	Melanie Bordage	00:43:56	80
4	Luc Belliveau	00:44:00	75
5	Marc Evers	00:44:19	70
6	Julien Roussel	00:44:25	65
7	Michelle Chase	00:44:26	60
8	Craig Harper	00:45:20	55
9	Rheal Cormier	00:45:36	50
10	Charles Cormier	00:45:38	45
11	Jean Leger	00:45:41	40
12	Pablo Vergera	00:45:59	35
13	Sean Ritchie	00:46:05	30

Long time Centre program cyclist and assistant coach, Jean-Richard Cormier won the Ontario criterium championship on Saturday in Ottawa. He was doing that race while getting ready for the Tour de Abitibi (part of the UCI Nations Cup) with the Louis Garneau team. In Atlantic Canada, he rides for the Mike’s Bike Shop Cycling Club.

It was my idea to get into an early break, but I crashed very early into the race. After taking my free lap to fix my bike, I got into a four man break. I attacked them in the last lap and got a nice gap to win on the line! mentioned Cormier shortly after his victory.

Here are the top four results:

Junior Men - 41.6 km - Average Speed 44.3 km/h

1. Jean-Richard Cormier (Garneau, RMJ) 0:56:20

2. Kevin Massicotte (Cyclepathmarkham.Com, RMJ)

3. Matteo Dal-Cin (Pro Bike Pool Kuota, RMJ)

4. Jordan Cheyne (Mazurcoaching.Com, RMJ) 00:04
