"If it wasn;t for bad luck he,d have no luck at all"
Hard luck again for Steve in the finale.
The last stage was really tough;
The Danes told us it would be cool for the first 40km
Ha!!
2 of the 5 in the break were danish and it went in the first 5km
The last stage featured the steepest hill yet
Steve made it over in the yellow jersey group and was in contention for a top 10 finish until he crashed with 5 km to go!!
We cried as we pushed him back in the race and he soloed in to finish.
A finishing circuit of 19 km with a huge climb and a bigger crowd ended it all.
We dropped all of our Canada flags the first time up the hill to have the boys met by flag waving fans . Geoff finished in the 3rd group and Joel finished strong and with a big smile.
3 of 4 finished and we hopefully made a good impression
Wheelers can all be proud of the effort put out in this mountainous race.
final results and post will follow soon
thousands packed a soccer stadium for the prize presentation and young canadian riders were spotted jumping off the peer into the ocean in a late night celebration with some locals
rumour has it they make strong rum on this island
i will look into it!!

No tears of sadness I hope.
You guys, all of you, did great. I enjoyed every blog post and every race result, seeing you guys more than holding your own on your first big "world" race.
John and Adrian, I've never met either of you but I thank you both for your involvement and your dedication to these guys. Thanks
To quote someone:
To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first.
Shakespeare
Not to be confused with this one of course:
If at first you don't succeed, then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

Hope you had fun John and team. Service Canada support you.........
