With the race season coming to an end, and the final weekends of August busy with the Apple Triathlon and Ironman Canada, it’s time to start thinking of, dare I say it, Fall sports. As a result, there will be no more time trials until next year. Kudos to Pascal Sutherland for achieving the fastest…
