Sprints - Updated

So our launch pad in Lower Springbank is literally covered in mud from the home construction out there so we need an alternative venue for the sprints. For a while now I have been considering the quiet roads within Curry Barracks for some racing and one of the roads there is good for the sprints. Hochwald Avenue, as shown on the map, is deserted in the evenings, except of course for the odd visit by the security guards that patrol the barracks. I propose we go ahead and have a low key evening of sprints in the barracks.

The Wild Rose Brewery is literally 3 blocks away and it is probably one of the good places to park. The less attention we draw the better so please park there or at least not within the Barracks, maybe use the near by housing development as well for parking, or just ride!

Let's start promptly at 6:30 PM so show up good and early so we can get fair pairings drawn up for the sprints. Ernie is working on a template for us. You will not be eliminated in the first sprint, you will have a few chances to advance.

I believe there is a section of the Wild Rose Brewery reserved for us and remember, don't drink, ride or drive. Any combination of those activities would not be good for you.

The pavement is a bit rough, the sprint stretch is on a decent little up-hill and we will have enough volunteers to make sure any stray cars are stopped for you. The only thing I can't predict is what the security guy will do.

Here is the map:

Aug 27 - WNS Finale...Elimination Sprint's

I know all of you were disappointed in last week's cancellation, but back by popular demand we have planned for elimination sprints for the final week of WNS.  After the sprints, we also have planned for a WNS evening wind-down at the Wild Rose Brewery.  The weather forecast looks good, so lets hope we have good attendance!

More details to follow.  Stay tuned.

Aug 20 - CANCELLED! - Hill Climb Road Race - Road to Napal/Leighton

Due to the inclement weather, tonight's race is cancelled!

"Hills are your friend.  They make you stronger on the way up, and let you go fast on the way down.  Embrace and love them "
Maximus Lungus 3:20:1

Tonight's ride is familiar to all of you. The A/B's will do the road to Nepal loop, back up the hill climb from the Tour of Alberta, then a short loop up to the Leighton centre. There are a few hills in the way of the finish line.

The C's will end their suffering at around the 33km mark just after you've done that lovely long downhill.
Click here to view the MapMyRide site.

It's getting dark around 9:20-ish so if you park far away, make sure you bring a blinky for the back of your bike.  Registration will be at the start (226 Ave approx 2.5KM west of 37 Street) .  Start time will be 6:30.

We need at least 3 volunteers!  Post a comment or click here if you can, or bring a friend!
