Bicisport TT

Congratulations to the Crankmasters who represented this past Sunday in sunny Strathmore. From all reports it sounded like a really good day. Combing the results I came across Carolyn Soules as second overall woman in 28:36, Jacek Kasprzyk 11th in cat 5 in 29:25, Mark Perry 19th in 30:20, Wes Zaniecki 22nd in 30:51 and Brian Beaulieu in 31:28.

Looking forward, we have the Veolcity Stage Race next weekend in Edmonton and of course I would encourage anyone who doesns't head up there to toe the line for our Breaking Away Bearspaw race on Sunday.

Bicisport RR Cancelled!!

They figure it will take a couple of days to dry out the dragstrip portion of the course so unfortunately the circuit race has been cancelled. The TT is still a go and the weather looks good so good luck to everyone racing on Sunday. Try and look out for the M&M van (Randy) as we should warm up together.

Early Roll Call - Velocity Stage Race

Is anyone interested in attending the Velocity Stage Race in Edmonton on May 3/4. I highly recommend it, it is definitely an A race. Let me know and we can maybe coordinate travel and accomodations. However, I won't be able to attend it myself this year.

Weather looking better

For the weekend at least. As long as we get some good sun on Saturday it should be a decent ride. I won't be racing on Saturday or Sunday but I'll drop by on Saturday to rally the troops. Not sure how many troops we'll have but if there are some we can rally. Looking forward, there is the Velocity Stage Race in Edmonton on May 3/4 as well as our Breaking Away Bearspaw race on May 4th. We'll try the Airdrie TT the next weekend and that would be an excellent opportunity to get together. Keep in touch and let us know if you'll be there Saturday and if you're going on Sunday for the TT perhaps we can organize and warm-up/cool-down together.

Roll Call - Bicisport races this coming weekend.

Time to turn the wheels in anger. We are racing this coming weekend. The Bicisport races (http://www.bicisport.com/) take place Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning in Calgary and Strathmore. I highly recommend the road race at Race City as a great introduction to ciruit racing and the Strathmore TT is 18km of fun and adventure (pain). You'll need an ABA license for the road race (http://www.albertabicycle.ab.ca/) but you can get a single event license for the time trial. Great races and a good start to the season. If you are attending, please leave you name as a comment to this message and we can coordinate a team effort. Looking forward we have the Velocity stage race in Edmonton on May 3/4 as well as our Bearspaw club race.

Riding in a Winter Wonderland

Doesn't look all that good for Sunday which is a shame as a number of people were looking forward to it. I expect the official notice will come out on the main site tomorrow. We have tenatively thought about trying it on May 11th instead pending some organizational details.
Thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday, I think it was a good start. I have all your names and I'll add it to my list. What would be great and I forgot to do is to get your email adresses so if you could send it to the gmail (c4racing@gmail.com) account then I can make up an email list to send stuff out. If anyone else is interested but didn't make Wednesday, please send me your name, masters and ABA category (ie Masters A, Category 4), and email address and I'll add you to the list.
I highly encourage anyone interested in ABA racing to get your license application in as the season is just about to start and there are some good early season races. I'm not going to the Velocity Stage May 3 and 4th due to a family commitment but I would encourage anyone who is really serious about racing to consider it as it is a great early season stage race and very popular.
Enjoy some time on the trainer this weekend, its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
