Jet Fuel at CHIN Picnic - photos

The 27th Annual CHIN International Picnic Criterium was held yesterday on the grounds of the venerable Canadian National Exhibition in the Toronto lakefront.

Dr.OCTTO was there to capture the action of the Pro/Am race.

A points-race format led to constant attacking and action. Jet Fuel Cycling fielded a full team, resplendent in their brand-new long-sleeve skinsuits, and they were very active throughout the 70 minute event.

Early on, Zack launched a flier off the front. Mid-race, Pete Morse was active in another break attempt. Late in the race, Bryson was very aggressive, despite or because of his expenditure in a victory earlier in the day in the unusual single-lap sprint event.

In the end, all 3 were in the points scoring, but Jet Fuel was shut out of the podium positions. (results here).
