Ride Updates:
1. Cross Ride Tuesdays is now officially at Royal Gardens Park this week and for all future weeks until cross season is over. Andrew and Tim have volunteered to bring out jumps and barriers for us to practice on, as this park is closest to them. This was also the site of our School of Cross race before 2015, so is a great park for cross. (We moved due to construction)
2. Saturday’s ride will be changed to Spruce Grove – We will ride out to catch the finish of the Tour of Alberta and take in the festivities. Leaving Transcend at one, we will be in Spruce Grove around 2:45, allowing approximately an hour and a half to check out the festival before they come in for the finish. 80km round trip from Transcend. Can’t make the time? I’m sure other people are willing to take the usual Saturday Time / Route. Post on Facebook!
