Velocity Criterium Needs Volunteers

In just 2 weeks we’ll be hosting our first sanctioned race in over 2 years! Let’s put on a great event, in the long-standing tradition of Velocity … which means we need your help. Volunteer opportunities for the criterium are now open. We have about 19 positions that need filling.

Please click on the following web link (or copy it into your web browser if clicking doesn’t work) to go to the signup sheet:

volunteersignup.org/XCJQQ

To sign up, just follow the instructions on the page. It only takes a few seconds. The Course Marshal duties have been divided into morning and afternoon shifts to accommodate those club members who may be racing.  If you are available to volunteer for the full day, please sign up for both the morning and afternoon Course Marshall shifts.

Thank you for volunteering! These races would not happen without the contribution of your time and talent.

Big thanks go out to Peter Sherstan who is responsible for organizing the volunteers. If you have any questions about a position, please email him directly at: peter.sherstan@telus.net

Saturday Club Road Ride

As last week was a rain-out, I’ve scheduled the same route again starting from the Strathcona Olympiette Centre at 10am.

Please see the Saturday ride details and sign-up at:

Sunday “Rule V” Club Ride

The advanced hard and hilly Sunday ride starts on the west side. Meet at the Acheson Truck Stop, west on HWY 16, at 10am.

Velocity Track Session

No track session again this week because your coach is on a short vacation. The regular weekly session will return July 18.

EMCC Tuesday Night Racing

This week the Masters event is a Track Session at the Argyll Velodrome. If you’re one of our regular Monday track riders, please have the Velodrome Manager open our storage shed to check-out your usual bike for the evening. If you’re not a regular Monday night club track rider, then the velodrome staff will have a bike available for you to use.

Links to the details are on our Events Calendar:

Wednesday Hill Circuit

Even though I’m still out of town, I encourage you to meet up on Wednesday evening, 6:30pm, in Hawrelak Park to start the usual hill circuit we’ve been riding this year.

Details are here:

Monthly Club Meeting

Our next monthly club meeting will be held via Zoom on Thursday, July 14, at 7pm. The Zoom link will be emailed out to all 2022 club members sometime next week.
