Cory Wallace Second place at 2010 TransRockies
/?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?> /?php the_excerpt(); ?> /?php else : ?>
The final stage of the 2010 TR3 took riders from the civilized surroundings of Elkford, BC deep into the wilds of the Canadian Rockies and represented the last chance for the closely bunched top riders in the Open Men’s Division to move up in their divisions and grab more of the UCI points and Cash on offer.
Having split the first two stages, Max Plaxton (Shoair/Specialized) and Cory Wallace (KONA) were battling with Adam Craig for the overall title with everything to ride for on Stage 3. The race had three distinct stages, a long rolling approach climb followed by a sheer 1000-plus metre grind up to the day’s high point at the crossing of the Great Divide and finally a raw, steep and technical 15km descent to the finish line.
Cory Wallace is 24 HR Canadian Champion

Coming to you from Canmore Alberta and the 24 Nationals last weekend. Race went super well. Went out cross country style and put the hurt on the boys for the first 6hrs then set it into cruise control. Leighton Poidevin who has won alot of these was hot on my heels in second place for the first 8hrs but fell ill in the middle of the night leaving a big gap between myself and the other riders once he dropped out.

Ryan Trebon Takes a Solid Third at US Nationals
/?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?> /?php the_excerpt(); ?> /?php else : ?>A rough, hot, dusty course outside of Granby, Colorado on Saturday set the stage for the 2010 U.S. National Mountain Bike Championships, with 47 pro men throwing their names in the hat for the cross-country title.
Todd Wells takes the win in front of JFK for first and second. Missing most of the action both in front and behind him, Trebon rode a strong, steady and uncontested pace for third place from start to finish.
“I really wanted to push a little harder, but there wasn’t a single place to rest on this course, so I felt like if I did so, I’d explode,” Trebon said. “Sometimes kicking it up just 2 percent takes another 20 percent effort, which I didn’t have today.”

Ryan Trebon takes 4th & 5th at Pro XCT # 5
/?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?> /?php the_excerpt(); ?> /?php else : ?>US Pro XCT #5: Sand Creek International Classic, Colorado Springs, United States, 3 July 9-11 2010
Ryan battled it out with some of the best this weekend getting 5th in the XC and 4th in the short track.
In the short track…
Ryan Trebon (Kona), always aggressive in these types of races, finished fourth as Sam Schultz (Subaru-Gary Fisher) rode the first few laps with the leaders but could not hold their pace and eventually took the last spot on the podium.

Barry & Kris Still Out in Front at the BCBR
/?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?> /?php the_excerpt(); ?> /?php else : ?>Stage Four: Sunshine Coast’s Ripping Ridge Ride
Jason Sager (Jamis) is making a contest out of the BC Bike Race, finishing stage four less than five second behind Chris Sheppard (Rocky Mountain) in the Solo Men’s category.
Kris Sneddon and Barry Wicks (Kona Bikes) continue pulling away from the pack.
Sheppard won Wednesday’s stage four in 3:11:12, with Sager crossing the line at 3:14:35. Sheppard leads the overall Solo at 11:43:19, with Sager 11 minutes 42 seconds behind in second. Colin Kerr is in third about 30 minutes off the lead.
Kerr, however, is in a battle for his podium spot with fourth-place Ben Thompson, who is 6 minutes 43 seconds back with three stages yet to come.
Meanwhile, in the women’s Team of 2 category, Alana Heise and Kate Aardal have taken over first place from Brandi Heistermen and Cathy Zeglinski.
