Beating up on the Boys (and Girls).

It has been brought to my attention that I have neglected to make a post about the track exploits of our resident coach Claire Cameron. In this past season's Friday night racing at the Burnaby Velodrome (which wrapped up last week) she secured the overall victory in the B group. As you can see by the results below, this means she beat up on a whole buncha boys and girls while going round fast in circles. I guess there is a reason she teaches the Learn to Rides/Races at the track... She brings a whole lotta Chuck Norris toughness to this motley assembly.

*Edit: After looking at the results further, I've noticed Braden finished 6th overall in B's and in the C group we had Jenny coming in 4th, Stacey 8th and Wyatt in 9th.

Club Rides 2

Apparently everybody had some good holidays and are keen to train. The last two group rides have had 17 and 14 people out. This is great to see and let's keep it up till the racing starts. If there is this much interest we can perhaps keep the same meeting time and place through the race season as I'm sure we won't necessarily all be racing.

So, once again, the ride LEAVES from Our Town Cafe at 9:30. If you want coffee, muffins or Golbeck to fix your bike, please show up at 9. For the convenience of the majority, I'm gonna be a hard-ass about this...

As it's winter, our route is probably gonna be pretty much the same each week. So if you are late and wanna catch us your best bet is to hit the Ontario bike route between Broadway and 59th. We will head over to Richmond via the Arthur Laing bridge and do the Vets ride loop in reverse. Please don't call/text me after 9:30 as I am riding and won't answer.

The rides are fairly mellow right now. We will do some paceline work and at least one sprint out at Iona or on River Rd. Generally, you can be back in Vancouver by noon if you skip the last sprint. And this is why we leave on time - a lot of us have other commitments on Sundays. Hope to see you out.
