The Blue Mountains Granfondo keeps up the good work

With splendid weather all over the weekend, the Blue Mountains Granfondo had a great fourth edition as Canadian qualifier for the 2018 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, the first one after the new name change.

The Granfondo riders had a qualifier distance of 155km for the men up to the age of 50 while all women and men over 50 had a shorter 112km race with one loop less. Both races started at 30 minutes interval.

Fastest overall on the long course was continental team rider Travis Samuel who for that reason was not eligible to qualify for worlds. Gaelen Merritt (M19-34) was the first qualified rider over that distance.

Fastest female on the short course was Susan Palmer-Komar who beated a lot of her younger opponents to win her F50-54 age group. Fastest male on the short course was Andre Lamarche winning his M55-59 age group.

Chris Schindler was the fastest overall in the 24.7km time trial on Thursday with quite some elevation. His average speed was 42.6km/h while Paolina Allen beated a lot of her younger opponents to win the female time trial in an average speed of 36.4 km/h.
