2010 News

August 9, 2010 - good luck to Arnold Boldt competing at 2010 UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships (schedule/website) in Quebec. Here is an update from Arnold: Salut! I thought I would just give you a quick update on my whereabouts and goings on. I'm in Bromont, Quebec, at the Canadian National Para-cycling training camp. I have been here since August 4 (thus I missed the provincials over the weekend in Moose Jaw, unfortunately). My training has been going very well thus far. I am in the best shape I've ever been in, and I'm now simply trying to keep the form I have for the world championships next week in Baie-Comeau. Most of the rest of the team here seems also to be in better form this year compared to last year's worlds. So, I'm sure that the Canadian Team will be a significant presence come race days. The registrants for worlds for my group (C2) is also up this year by over 60%, so this will be an interesting championship, and highly competitive. The course that we are racing, both for the road and TT, is challenging: we have an 11.5km loop that includes a 1.3km hill which averages 8 - 10%--it will be selective in the road race.
