Hey everyone, it’s a hot update! (Mostly cause it’s going to be so hot this week) Lots of things going on differently in the next little while so read up!
All rides on Sunday, July 17 are cancelled in order to hold our “ERTC @ at the Velodrome” Special Event. We will have the track to ourselves, and be running either introductions to the velodrome or learn to track race / intervals for those with a little more experience. This is your chance to come out! https://www.strava.com/clubs/2845/group_events/1207013
We will be holding a “Learn to Corner” Skills clinic on July 18 which will be superseding the WoERTC ride. This clinic will be focused on higher speed cornering around people. We recommend everyone come to this, as we will be breaking up into groups based on speed and experience. Look for the invite on strava. We will run through cornering theory and then work through some common scenarios you will encounter while on group rides and during racing. July 19th’s ride will focus less on cornering and more on intervals as well. https://www.strava.com/clubs/2845/group_events/1207006
Ok seriously though, we are 2 weeks out from our Pigeon Lake Road Race. All volunteers will get swag from Blindman (Ok, it’s beer. You get beer.) an ERTC water bottle, and all people driving their cars for comm/sweeps/hauling will get a $75 gas card (cause gas costs lots nowadays) https://volunteersignup.org/BDHAD If you are racing, we will have 2 shifts so you can volunteer when it isn’t your turn to race.
August 14 - For those interested in the L’Etape Edmonton , ERTC has a discount code available. It is “ERTC20” We should have a pretty good showing so come join us as we show off how great ERTC is to everyone! https://www.letapecanada.com/?utm_campaign=ee1&utm_id=ee&utm_medium=webpage&utm_source=eewebsite
