VCC August 7 Update

Afterburner Gravel Volunteer Call-Out

Can you believe it’s already August? Our gravel event is just two weeks away … and our volunteer sign-up sheet is still totally empty. 😬

If you can lend a hand, hop over and throw your name down wherever you’re able to help out.

We’ve got a $50 gas credit for anyone making the trip (it’s about 170km to the venue). We appreciate when people carpool, so team up if you can!

Stick around after the race for a laid-back BBQ with the crew. It’s the perfect way to soak up a late summer day out in the quiet forests and foothills of western Alberta.

Camping more your style? Come out the night before and pitch your tent behind the Ag Building at no cost.

Support your club, have some fun, and help make this thing awesome.

And if you’d rather race the event yourself, you can find all those details here:

Saturday Ride
The reviews are in and The Wall Coffee Roasters is a “top notch” cafe gem, hidden inside the Acheson industrial park! We’ll start there again week. The loop will be about 76km this time, taking you up to Calahoo and back. I’ll be helping out at the Keirin Clinic, so please make sure each group has a ride leader with the route downloaded. And don’t leave riders stranded behind on the course.

The weather forecast is back to more moderate summertime temperatures. We’ll slip the start time back to our usual 10am and give those riding out a little extra time to get there.

Sunday Road Ride
Arneil is on deck again to lead you out on the 100km Sunday circuit leaving from the Tamarack Tim Hortons at 9am.

Monday Track Night
We’re back on at Argyll for one of our last remaining outdoor sessions. Drop in at 6pm to get your bike set up, and be on the rail by 6:30!

Tuesday MTB Ride
This will be the last MTB ride this season. Meet ride leader Justin in Capilano Park for the MTB ride through the river valley.

Wednesday Hill Circuit
Meet us at 6:30pm in Emily Murphy Park for about a 90 minute road and paved trail circuit.

Sunday May 31: Ride cancelled due to rain and high winds.
