Stuckylife |: Return of the Harbour Road Sprints

At 7pm on Friday, March 29, The Sprints returned to Harbour Road under a warm and dry evening sky (unlike previous years).

As always, there was a diverse cross-section of the cycling population in attendance, including an eclectic mix of some of Canada's finest athletes.

Of the forty-or-so roadies, 'crossers, Badgers and other miscreants gathered, Gillian managed to hustle eighteen starters: twelve fixed-gear and six freewheels. We even welcomed a few new faces to the group; I certainly hope to see more in the coming months.

Many familiar faces! (Photo: Geoff Robson)

After an hour of sprinting, Tom Skinner took first place overall and earned himself a big-ol' delicious pie from Brickyard Pizza

Samuel Willis won the fixed-gear category (second place overall) and took home a super-limited edition Specialized Lululemon team cycling cap courtesy of Gillian Carleton.

Right behind Sam was Jacob Morneau, who would have won a six-pack of beer if he was a few years older, but managed to take home a gift card from Brickyard Pizza instead. This kid is already getting too fast on a bike for his own good. Might be time to ship him off to the velodrome...

Huge thanks to Parker for running traffic control, Gillian for registration & score-keeping, and Malcolm and David for "holding."

Also, big ups to our perennial sponsor, Brickyard Pizza, for keeping us warm, fed and well-liquored!

Without further adieu, feast your eyes on these great shots from Geoff Robson and Leif Keithley:
