September 28

Le dimanche 28 septembre, les routes entre Chelsea et Wakefield sont devenues le théâtre d’un nouveau chapitre de la scène cycliste de la région de la capitale. Un total de 47 cyclistes ont pris le départ du Wakefield Contre-la-montre — un événement qui a une fois de plus réuni compétition, camaraderie et esprit communautaire.

Dès les premiers départs, l’énergie était palpable. Les participants se sont dépassés sur le parcours aller-retour le long du chemin de la Rivière, affrontant le défi de la route et du chronomètre, tandis que les bénévoles assuraient la sécurité et l’organisation à chaque point clé. Familles, amis et partisans se sont rassemblés au Motel Chelsea — le cœur de l’événement — créant une atmosphère chaleureuse et motivante qui a porté les cyclistes jusqu’à l’arrivée.

L’événement a également mis en valeur l’importance de la collaboration. Les partenaires et commanditaires locaux — Bushtukah, Full Cycle, Lameda, Montu et le Motel Chelsea — ont apporté un soutien essentiel, des prix à la logistique sur place, contribuant à transformer la course en une véritable célébration de l’effort collectif.

Plus qu’un simple contre-la-montre, l’événement de Wakefield est devenu une vitrine des valeurs qui définissent le Grimpeurs Cycling Club : persévérance, esprit d’équipe et plaisir de partager la route. Le succès de cette deuxième édition confirme que le cyclisme dans la région Ottawa–Gatineau n’est pas seulement un sport, mais un mouvement communautaire grandissant qui ne cesse de prendre de l’ampleur.
