Dyck, West secures Canadian cyclo-cross titles in Manitoba
Mical Dyck (Naked Factory Racing) rode to a solo victory in the elite women’s race at the Canadian Cyclo-cross Championships held at The Forks in Winnipeg on Saturday. It was her second national title in cyclo-cross having won the maple-leaf jersey in 2012.
Dyck took the mid-race lead and crossed the finish line alone for the win ahead of Sandra Walter (Liv Cycling Canada). Leah Kirchmann (Optum) took third place on the day.

“It feels really good. When you go through some tough times and you doubt what you’re doing, it feels really good to have a good race and reaffirm that it’s OK that you’re doing this and you’re following your dreams and having fun,” said Dyck, who left a position in the field of geology to pursue her goals in cyclo-cross.
Dyck has spent time racing cyclo-cross overseas and placed 12th at the World Championships in Tabor in February.
Ruby West (Centurion Next Wave) won the under-23 women’s title, while Dana Gilligan (Cycle Solutions Angry Johnny's CC p/b Norco LG) came in second. Maggie Coles-Lyster (Local Ride Racing) rounded out the podium for third.
