Hello my fellow segment fans!
Sorry for the delay, organizing the Royal Bay Crit ate up much more of my time than anticipated - the event went really well, I think everyone had a great time, find the results, report and photos here: https://abouttheride.ca/royal-bay-crit/
Let's get started with our wrap party! First up, is the Final Season Report, highlighting a number of items throughout the season, plus the results from the glove poll, I know you've all been waiting for that:

Once more a huge thank you to all who chipped in, thanks for helping keep this series sustainable! 🤩
Let's not forget our event supporters as well, if you're in a shop, let them know you do the Segment Challenge, and you appreciate their contributions to the series. When I'm collecting prizes, several shops are now telling me they hear good things about it, that's pretty cool.
Side note: the new Tripleshot Girls Club for 11-13yr old girls is looking for some chaperones for the fall, if you'd be interested email Peg at tripleshotgirlsclub@gmail.com and here's their IG account as well to learn more: https://instagram.com/tripleshot.girlsclub
Also, the Canadian National Masters Road Champs are this weekend, and Jon could use more marshals - if you have a few hours on Fri, Sat or Sun, they could use your help, and you'll have a front row spot to watch. Sign up and info here: https://www.victoriabikerace.com/volunteer
And now for what you've all been waiting for..
Since it's the end of the season, that also means it's our final draw!
Lots of great goodies remain, I've saved some of the best for last:

A quick reminder how the final draw works: everyone who participated in the final week gets their name in the draw, and everyone who podiums in the overall also gets their name in the draw (which can mean double the chance to win, but still max 1 prize.) (I've omitted my own name, and Ethan who was 4th has been added, since he's effectively 3rd.)
Below are three 'batches', by my count there were about 24 prizes remaining.
I'll email the first batch tomorrow. As always, awarded in order of reply gets their first prize request (hopefully!), please watch for that tomorrow! The next batch will be emailed after the previous ones are all sorted (so don't delay when you get the email!)
So without further ado, courtesy of the Google Spreadsheet Randomizer (activated 5 times), here's Batch #1:
Greg Goforth Jane Logan Ryan Taylor Julia Barron Joel Crocker Brooklynn Taylor-Clark Todd Rooker Teddy Grosson
Batch #2:
The Squaremeat Tyler Galts Sarah DeVries Kirsty H Josh Durgin Bill Ransford Sarah Pullman Sam Preshaw
And last but not least, Batch #3:
Jamie Caskenette Tina Trumpy Dan Coulton Gabrielle Leung Dave Bitschy Kit St. John Mark Devitt Evan Thomas |
