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.
I’ll be out to support you during the Saturday Road Race (not racing myself). So, if you’d like me to hand you a water bottle, please let me know beforehand. I don’t want to miss connecting with someone come race morning. Please prep your own extra bottles for me to hand you. I can’t guarantee you’ll get your own, but I’ll make my best effort.
I will be racing the crit on Sunday (Cat 3). Gotta test my own racing legs – sooner than later! But again, I’ll be around earlier in the day to help answer any of your racing questions.

We’ll have our own private session at the velodrome this month. Come try a few laps on a track bike! The club will set you up on one of our own bikes – just bring your own pedals, shoes and helmet.
And if you’ve ridden the velodrome in the past, and would like to refresh yourself – this will be your ideal opportunity too!
I’ve already got at least a half dozen riders coming. Please fire me an email, so I know you’re coming too: coaching@velocitycyclingclub.ca

I am an athlete. I may not be the best, but that is what I strive to be. I may never get there, but I will never quit trying.
