Last weekend PCC athletes participated in the final races of the spring series with three races on the roster. Saturday, April 2 was the Brander Long RR where Callie Swan, cycling for the Dr Walker Sports Chiropractic Cycling Team, finished third.
“This was a good performance for Callie,” said Head Coach, Houshang Amiri. “At only 17 years of age she is racing with a lot more experienced riders, and is holding her own.”
Sunday, April 3rd was the Atomic Long RR and ITT. The Cat 1-2 (A group) races were very aggressive with many attacks and counter attacks. Alex Amiri (Giant Langley Smart Savvy Cycling Team) finished second, and in the Cat 3 (B group) Erik Diertens (Dr Walker Cycling Team) had a strong race with a second place finish. “In B group there were many experienced riders and Erik at just 17 was 10 years younger than the winner of the B race,” said Amiri.
On Sunday following the RR races was the “Warp Speed Long TT.” In A group Alex won the 17.8km ITT, and Erik won the B group ITT recording the second fastest time overall behind Alex.
