Series 1 Week 3 - June 4 Springbank Team Time Trial

This week will be in Springbank at the west end.  This will be a team time trial in pairs.  This is a great opportunity to practice your drafting!  You can pick your own partner, but if you're riding with someone in a different category, you'll be riding in a higher category.

Signup is at 6:00PM at the Springbank Community High School/Arena. First riders start at 6:30PM.

The course starts eastbound on Springbank Road heading back towards Calgary. A right turn not that far along onto Range Road 32 takes you due South all the way past Lower Springbank Road to a big turnaround at the end of the road as you approach the river. Back up Range Road 32 to Springbank Road and a right turn taking you east again towards Calgary. You then turn right on Horizon View Road to Lower Springbank Road where you turn right and head out west along Lower Springbank. Finally, a turn north on to Range Road 32 again and the finish along 32 a short time later.  Total distance is approximately 17km.

The course should be self-explanatory.  We should have at least four to five volunteers for the corners.  Click here to volunteer!  Remember 5 extra points if you bring a volunteer.

According to the forecast, there is a 70% chance of rain on Wednesday, so watch this blog for any cancellations.

Series 1 Week 2 Results - May 28, 2014

A great turnout for a rainy evening!  It started off looking like we would miss the rain, but 5K into the ride the rain started.  It progressed to a downpour at the finish!  My score sheet got a bit blurry, so I hope I got all the riders in the correct order.  Note that those who came in tight peloton's all got the same placement.

Sportsmanship awards go to Mike Healy and Brent Thumlert for helping Carlos Bonilla, who flatted.  Extra points will be awarded at the end of the series.

Thanks to our volunteers, Gary Spicer, Dan Gauld and Dan Sigouin.  We all got a bit wet, but it was great evening!  Dan Sigouin also shared some photos.  Enjoy!  Click here to see them.
