08.12.11 -CANADIAN TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS END WITH PARACYCLING AND MASTERS RACES

(Bromont, QC – August 13, 2011) After a week of exciting cycling races, the Canadian Track Championships ended in Bromont, Québec, with the presentation of both the Para-cycling and Masters championship categories on the newly resurfaced velodrome at the National Cycling Centre Bromont.

The tandem of William Stanley and Doug Baron had an excellent weekend of racing, grabbing the Canadian title in the 200m as well as the Kilo. Brayden McDougall of Calgary won the title in both of his race, the time trials as well as the individual pursuit.

These para-cycling championships were highlighted by the strong return of Brian Cowie, along with his new guide Ed Veal. Cowie won a bronze medal at the 2009 World Championships in Manchester.

The masters also took the track at these Canadian Championships. Riders from three categories participated in both sprint and endurance events.

The 2012 Canadian Track Championships will be held in Dieppe, New-Brunswick, next summer.

The complete results can be found on www.canadian-cycling.com in the Canadian Track Championships section.

The 2011 Canadian Championships season is now over. Since June, the Canadian Cycling Association in collaboration with provincial cycling associations, hosted Canadian Championships in road cycling, mountain bike cross-country, mountain bike downhill, bmx and track cycling, which included full integration for para-cycling for the road and track events.
