Congrats to OA Victoria's racers, who all finished well in each of their events on Sunday! The Times Colonist Bastion Square Criterium is the biggest road race on the island, and typically one of the biggest in BC, and marks the closure of the road season here this year. The course is in downtown Victoria, a four-corner road course around the popular Bastion Square market.

    Celebrating some war won long ago that divided nations and eventually created an empire of high fructose corn syrup mind-numb, where it's hard to distinguish where the factory farms end and the ubiquitous car lots begin.  Blasting an array of colors into the air to prove our manifest destiny was fulfilled, to relish in the hot-dog picnic at the lake, finally able to use that 4-wheel drive that came standard on the Jeep Cherokee Limited with the Eddie Bauer pinstriping and in-seat butt warmers.
