first in
Kitwanga
100-miler

Kitwanga’s first effort ata major
bicycle race attracted 30 cyclists
on Aug. 12, with half entering the
gruelling 100-mile event and the
other half going at it for 100 kil-
ometres.

The 100-mile race saw touring
Terrace master Mike Christensen
win without too much trouble.
About halfway through, the four-
some of three Terrace riders
(Christensen, Colin Parr and
Chiron Kantakis) plus race organ-
izer Peter Krause of Smithers
broke away from the pack.

By about 100 kilometres, Krause
faded back to leave the Terrace
trio to go for the gold. Then with

. 35-K to go, Parr dropped off the
pace, .

Kantakis left Christensen alone
when he ran into wheel spoke
problems, While Mike won the
race handily, Kantakis did some
fast repair work and rode across
the finish line in second place,

only two minutes behind Christen-
sen. Parr eventually came in third.
_ On the 100-K side, Kitimat’s
Mark Belsham and Jusi Jaakola
finished one-two. .
