New BMX Gate Installed and Running
The club donated some money to the help fund the new and much more modern start gate at the Edmonton BMX track. First rides were set off this past week. Here’s a link to the Facebook video showing the gate (and Velocity’s logo as a proud sponsor) in action: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1B5RaaumJW
And last weekend was a big day of BMX racing in Calgary. Josh Ogilvie and Ben Streadwick both stood on the podium in the Canada Cup 2 event on Sunday. Josh took 2nd in the Elite U23 category and Ben 3rd in the Elite category. Great work guys representing the club!
Saturday Ride
Another Ardrossan Rec Centre start. Enjoy the new pavement on RR224! The forecast looks better than last weekend, so hopefully this ride will work out for all of you. Please download the route, and select Rider Leaders for each group (break up into at least 2 speed groups, especially if there are more than about 10 riders). No one gets left behind on our group rides.
Sunday Gravel Ride
It’s time to switch up the Sunday ride to some gravel with Jason. Meet at the front door of Millennium Place at 10am:
Monday Track Night – NEW TIME
We’ll switch over to 6:30pm for our Monday track sessions now, through to the end of summer … which means to the last days ever for riding at Argyll! We’ll be heading over to indoor sessions at the new velodrome this fall!
Randy will coach again this week. If you can arrive closer to 6pm, then you should have plenty of time to get your bike set up and be “on the rail” promptly at 6:30.
Tuesday MTB Ride
Tonight is the last Fat Tire Tuesday. Meet Justin in Terwillegar Park again at 6pm. Then you’ll have the choice to race at 6:30, or stick with Justin for some river valley trail riding instead.
Wednesday Hill Circuit
Take on the full circuit this week: 4x Zoo Hill; 2x Emily Murphy; 1x Victoria Park Road; and 2x Fortway Road up to the Ledge Ground transit station.
