Marc Boudreau pulled off the win in the Bill Patterson Memorial race held yesterday (June 10) and in doing so keep the trophy with RWR for the third straight year. The race, now in it’s tenth year, serves as a warm up for the upcoming Preston Street race on June 17th.
After an early break was brought back by the team, Marc got himself in the counter move with two other riders and stayed away for the last part of the race. Riding smart, Marc was patient and took the sprint over Apogee/Kuota’s Thomas Divisscher and Ultralink’s Greg Reign.

GRAND PRIX DE CHARLEVOIX
Seven Masters and six Elite Ride with Rendall team members made the trip to Charlevoix. Paul Smeulders our ErgVideo sponsor came along to help us with support. The accommodations were superb. The race was very well organized and went off without a hitch, even with the two days of cold rainy weather.
The time trial course was rolling mostly downhill with a head wind on the way out and rolling mostly uphill with a tail wind on the return. Most everyone found the course to be more challenging than they expected it to be. The Criterium was short and fast with tight corners and short straightaways. Everyone road safe except Ron, he clipped wheels and went down skidding on the wet pavement through the start/finish straightaway. The road race featured 2,200m of climbing through heavy fog. The decent down to the Bay of Saint Paul was unbelievably fast. The lead master’s pack detonated after Robbie O put the hammer down while climbing the wall of a hill through the town of St. Irene.
Gary Romkie, Ron Amos and Elite team member Mike Nash, came home with some hardware. A huge debt of gratitude belongs to Paul Smelders for looking after us all.
