Jerseys, Rides and Beer

For everyone who hasn’t responded to Carber about buying jerseys and shorts, please do so as soon as possible.  We will be ordering soon and you don’t want to miss out.  Surprisingly (to me anyway) there weren’t many takers on the skinsuits, so you won’t have to block the image of me in a Draughters skinsuit from your mind any time soon.

 

The WNRS is a sprint double elimination tomorrow night for those who are interested.

 

Andrew and Gerard are unable to organize the Saturday ride for the rest of the month.  I will lead an early ride this Saturday leaving the Westside Church Parking lot (3939 69 Street SW) at 6:00 am.  Please let me know if you want to join.  We will adjust speed and distance based on who comes out.  This will be a no drop ride.  If someone wants to organize another ride later in the day, please let me know.

 

Gord will organize the Sunday MTB ride separately because that’s just the way he is.

 

I can’t do the Face Punch Ride again until Stampede.  If someone wants to fill in for me over the next few weeks please let me know. 

 

For the month of June the Charity Pint Program at the Taproom supports the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, so get your friends together and drink lots of Electric Avenue Lager and Natural Born Keller.  Go team LoChanRulez.

 

Finally, please keep registering with the ABA.  I now have 10% off cards for the Taproom for all registered team members.

 

Ride on and rain, rain, go away,

Draughters Rides

Gord is out of town this weekend, so things need to be shifted around a bit.  Further to Andrew’s recent note, if anyone is interested in doing the Highwood Pass on Sunday, please let him know.  If there are no takers, Andrew and I are going to do Highwood about 3 hours earlier, so if that is of interest to you, you can also let us know.

 

On Saturday I will lead a group ride from Bragg Creek to Elbow Falls.  We will meet at 8:00 am in the parking lot of the Bragg Creek Shopping Centre.  This will be good training for anyone riding the WNRS next week, which will be a road race on the same route.  Please let me know if you are planning to attend.  I’m happy to leave earlier if that is of interest to people.

 

Finally, the Face Punch Ride will be hill repeats at COP on Monday.  We will meet at the base of the hill at 7:00 pm.  Last week we had 7 people out and the training was awesome (and then we went for beers, which was great too).

Face Punch Ride #2

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Andrew led a sweet road ride yesterday morning and Gord led an awesome MTB ride this morning.  For those who couldn’t make it, hopefully you were able to ride somewhere.  Tomorrow night the plan is to meet at the bottom of Edworthy on the South side of the Bow at 7:00 pm.  We will do a warm-up, and then do 5 intervals up Edworthy.  You will have the choice of going at your own pace, or for those who are game, do a group race up the hill, with the fastest person leading the group the following interval.  Please e-mail me if you plan to attend, so that I know who to expect.  Stephanie is already confirmed.
