At 65, Jonathan Lyons isn’t slowing down. The opposite, in fact.

The author and retired journalist finished fifth Friday in the 500-metre time trial in the Masters D 65-plus division at the Canadian Track Championships, which wrapped up Sunday at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre in Milton, Ont.

While Lyons favours longer races — he won bronze in both the pursuit Saturday and the points race Sunday — he still improved on his winning time over the shorter distance at the recent B.C.
