Velocity / Cranky’s Race Weekend Sad, very sad. The City of St. Albert has cancelled the criterium on Sunday. All race entry fees will be refunded. The City cited safety concerns on the course. Hard to swallow that excuse, at almost the last minute, when the City was working very closely with our diligent volunteers …
Stieda Race Weekend If you’re racing this weekend, send Coach Kevin a quick email: coaching@velocitycyclingclub.ca I’d like an idea of who is going to test their early season fitness.

2019 Clothing Launch We’re gearing up to launch our new kit design. Jakroo will manufacture and deliver your order directly to you. But before we open the store, we must give Jakroo some club quantity order estimates. Then, they’ll be able to set the best prices for us. Higher quantities means lower unit pricing! Jakroo’s …
