FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — On May 16th, the Blizzard Bicycle Club completed its weekly time trial in Baldonnel despite cold and rainy conditions.

The track at Baldonnel School managed to stay dry, and riders had the opportunity to compete in two distances of eight or 16 kilometres.

However, a headwind at the end of the track gave riders a challenge in crossing the finish line.
