VCC June 3 Update

Thanks Criterium Volunteers!

Though we could use a couple more sets of hands to help at the end of the day with the Course Tear Down, we’ve really got all the bases covered. If you’ve got the time available around 3:30pm Sunday, please consider lending us a hand: Volunteer Signup Sheet.

We’ll send an email out to all the volunteers before Sunday with all logistics you’ll need to know for the day. Stay tuned!

Saturday Ride
Great turn out last weekend at Colchester Community Hall. We had nearly 30 members turn out!

We’ll start there again this Saturday, leaving at 10am. We’ll loop in Ardrossan and Antler Lake this week, on a slightly longer course of about 73km.

And those of you testing your stamina in the Festivus of Gravel on Saturday, we wish you speedy riding! This year’s weather looks dry, but with a stiff wind from the west. Eat early, eat often and grind on!

Sunday Ride
No ride planned this Sunday, so we’re not conflicting with our criterium. Watch for a road ride with Arneil to be posted for next Sunday.

Monday Track Night
Last week was shortened by rain. Cross our fingers and we’ll get in the full 1:30hr session this week starting at 7:30pm

Tuesday MTB Ride
Sorry I missed getting the AQHI cancellation posted last week. If you showed up to ride, but couldn’t find Justin, we were looking at a AQHI of 7 or more that night, so he called off the ride. I’ll do better this next week to post to the announcement bar if we need to call off the ride. But otherwise, expect a 6pm start from Terwillegar Park. And you’ve always got the option to join the $5 Fat Tire Tuesday racing in Terwillegar Park instead.

Wednesday Hill Circuit
Find us in Emily Murphy Park at 6:30pm. We’ll ride some hill repeats in the river valley for almost 2 hours. This ride makes for a great set of unstructured intervals that will improve your VO2max!
