We are planning a club photoshoot for our website and other promotional material. The club photoshoot will take place on August 16.

  • We need at least 15 people and will be meeting at our meeting spot for Zoo Hill at 6:00pm that we usually meet at for forwards hills. 

  • The locations of the photo shoot will be Zoo Hill, Laurier Drive, and Legislature Hill. Zoo Hill and Laurier Drive will time approximately an hour, and we will ride to Legislature from Laurier, with another 40 minutes there. 

  • If you have club kit, please wear it, but this is not a strict requirement as not everyone who is part of the club has kit, however plenty of people will have one you can borrow. 

  • It is recommended that you are comfortable riding in a group as some photos will be as a group, but if you are not, then you are still welcome as other photos may have us all split up. 

  • The total time commitment will be approximately 2 hours.

  • By coming you consent to your image being used on our website and promotional materials. 

  • Please RSVP here:  https://www.strava.com/clubs/2845/group_events/145133 - we will be cancelling if we don’t have at least 10 people. 

Club Updates:

  • ERTC will be hosting coached CX skill sessions September 5 and 12th in the evening. Spots are limited and we would like them to first time crossers or with less than a season under their belt. E-mail me to express interest along with your CX experience and I will let you know if you are in or waitlisted. Even if you have some experience please email me if you are interested to get on the waitlist.
