It was a lovely night for a time trial and ten CFC women came out to ride. Only three had ridden a previous 15km CFCTT this year, and all three of these improved upon their previous CFCTT 15km best of 2012. There was one new time trialist, Michelle Cooke, who did 32:49 (27.425), excellent for a first attempt. The remaining nine had all ridden at least one 10km or 15km CFCTT in 2012, and every one of them improved upon their previous season-series personal best speed tonight. First place Sylvie D'Aoust (25:30, 35.294km/h) and second place Heather Tkalec (26:00, 34.615km/h) have improved their speed each time out, while third place Celia McInnis (26:28, 34.005km/h) continues to increase her quantity of 2012 time trials - Currently 15 CFCTTs and a total of 49 TTs spread across the ABC, CFC and OBC series this year. Last place rider, Thuy Do (34:42, 25.937km/h) on a recumbent trike was thrilled with her improvement after an injury. Congratulations all!
