Club Updates:


  1. While ERTC does not run our own casino night, several of our affiliated organisations do. Casino funding is an important way of ensuring that our youth get the funding that they require in order to pursue their racing ambitions. In order to get casino funding, the organisation must provide volunteers that are able to work a casino night once a year. The positions are fairly easy and include things like Chip Runner and Banker.

  2. All ride planning and updates happen on Strava. Don’t know what that is? Learn more here: https://www.ertc.org/joining-strava if you know what that is, then the link to our strava is here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/ertc - you will need to ask to join and I will let you in once I cross reference you with the membership list. It is highly recommended that you RSVP on strava so that we can plan for an appropriate amount of ride leaders and a suitable route for the group size. 

  3. Midweek racing is back after a 4 year long hiatus. More information and sign-up here: https://www.emrcracing.com/ ERTC has a volunteer commitment in order to participate, but when our dates come up we will put out a call for volunteers.
