I raced in Quebec on the weekend and was impressed by the number of young people, boys and girls, that were out racing. There were events right down to 7 and 8 years old, with close to a dozen kids in the girls 1 km ride alone. Most kids belonged to clubs and looked like they were really having a ball. The event was well organized with lots of spectators despite the horrible weather. If this race was any indication of the Quebec scene, they will have some serious juniors to watch out for in a few years.
I was impressed! It IS encouraging to see kids out racing. I was there, and it's always refreshing to attend a race in Quebec for that and other reasons (e.g. the course is in a populated area with spectators, banners, PA announcer, podium, music etc., instead of out on a deserted farm road with one picnic table for the timing, and a lonely portapotty - if you're lucky). |
