Chetkey had been eclipsed by is big cîty rival one week earlier during a lune-up race at Etabicoke's Centennial Park, and kncw rctaining is provincial crown would be a taIl order - even with a personally strong ride. The 47-year-old delivered cxactly that, but it juat wasn'l enough ta stay an top. "I'm happy for Glen. He had came close Uic past twa years anti tis was ia tum,' said Cheskey. The Milton racer - who cachier tis month took second-place Isanours aI Uic national championship in Edmontan - negotiated the mud-soaked, 21-kilome- Ire course in about 50 minutes. His bid for provincial gold lookeri radier bleak froim the onset of competi- tien, when a junior-age racer immedi- ately ini front of him tustained a broken chain - causing both of them to crash. Said Cheskey, "I hurt mny hip and knee a bit, but basically 1 was okay."ý He enjoyed a trouble-free ride for the balance of the event and caught Laycock at the midway mark - but couldn't pull away, despite ia best efforts. 1Ijust couldn't shake him," explained the silver-medaliat. Nevertheless, Cheskey was pleased with ia efforts - feeling he handled thse unseasonably sloppy terrain in fine fasion. "I'd say 1 had a good ride. We get sa many cold, dry days for raeing tis tle in thse year tIsaI it's nice In get a differ- ent kind of condition, like they do in Europe."
