Practice Time Trial Sunday

Putting the Fun in Fundraising

One of our new members, Dereck Lynn, says:

A new road bike cycling tour raising money for charity is coming to Calgary this year on July 21st and 22nd that I thought you and the other members of bicisport might be interested in. It is called the Tour For Kids and is part of an organization called Coast to Coast Against Cancer. All proceeds from the ride will go to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta, in support of sending children with cancer to camp in Alberta.

The ride is approximately 160 km or 100 km per day and is fully supported. The ride will also be organised into smaller groups of 20 riders of similar strength into pace groups, which is great for me because 160km is a long way for me to go solo.

Here is the link for the website with complete information.

The company I work for (Enerplus Resources Fund) is a sponsor and I have also signed up to race.

Cheers!

Gahhhhh!!!

There you go, I finally figured out how to post pictures!

Casino News!

We have submitted our contract with Stampede Casino. We will receive our date through a lottery but we can expect a date in the fourth quarter (November, October, December).

Group Rides!

Now that the weather has finally decided to cooperate, we can schedule a group ride. Members of bicisport and the "block"heads are leaving from the Cabin at 10 am on Saturday and Sunday. I expect that three or four groups will form and the different groups will go different distances.

The Cabin is at 10-4623 Bow Trail SW.

The Cabin is also the launch site for the Wednesday Night Jam. The ride is a race of attrition to Cochrane. It leaves at 6. Bring a barf bag.
