The EMCC Midweek season is set to begin!
Wednesday May 6th: The EMCC midweek season starts with a ROAD BIKE ONLY (no TT bikes, no clip-on extensions either!) 2-up 20 km team time trial on the new TWP 520 course, starting from the Strathcona Olympiette Centre. Sign-on from 6:00 pm, first team off at 7:01 pm. The Event Guide is available here. Full members are free; the entry fee for general and remote members is $5.
Immediately afterwards there will be a free Beer and Pizza social for all EMCC members at the Boston Pizza, 967 Ordze Road, Sherwood Park (immediately north of Wye Road at the first lights east of the Henday interchange). If the TTT has to be cancelled due to adverse weather, then the beer and pizza social will be postponed to May 20th, following the first individual TT on TWP 520.
If you know anyone interested in joining the EMCC be sure to let them know about the upcoming Saturday Ride.
Saturday May 9th: Easy group ride, 9:30 am from the Strathcona Olympiette Centre. This ride will be no more than two hours/50 km at an easy pace, suitable for new members, and for prospective members on a once-only try-out basis (non-members must sign a waiver). If you know anyone who may be interested in joining us, then please tell them about this ride. The new riders who show up will be properly looked after, and provided with the necessary instruction in group riding skills by an experienced rider, to make this a good learning opportunity.
