This was the first time trial on this challenging uphill course in Gatineau Park from Gamelin Blvd up to Champlain overlook - and it would be wonderful to do this on future occasions. For your interest, you may compare performances on this route, which is almost entirely uphill, with our rather flat out and back 15 km route on the Rockliffe Parkway. Note that we currently have 15km times in 2011 for 77 people of those who finished today, and you can click here to see a consistency ranking of those riders. Curiously enough, one rider, Andrew Lee, actually rode a little bit faster up hill than he did on his one earlier attempt this year two days earlier. This may be accurate, since Andrew used to ride pretty fast back in 2006.
