COVID Crusher Century Ride
Riders stuck it out through all the heat last week, only to finish it off in STYLE!
We rode 165km last Sunday through 4 counties east of Edmonton: Strathcona, Leduc, Camrose, and Beaver.
By the end of the full riding week, we logged more than 600kms. None of them were super-hard, but we were fairly steady. Our cumulative average speed was about 31kph.
With average temperatures in the high 20s, we managed to hit the warmest and driest week yet this year in Edmonton.
Well done everyone who found the time to ride. Elka Strohschein, Warren Goertzen, Colleen Malcolm, Dave Watson, and Jenny Wilson-Gibbons made most of the rides. Ed Heacock and Nikoo Najand completed all 7 days! And not a flat tire for anyone!
As I mentioned last week, I’m looking for club interest to run this camp again leading into the September long weekend. Register >>HERE if you think this is for you.
