Gran Fondo - Vancouver to Whistler

Why let that wicked shape you are in, from all this great August racing, go to waste??? There is a great race coming up, Saturday Sept 11 (weekend after Sept long) - closed roads, super duper scenery, solid climbing (looks to be mostly 5%, so nothing too bad)...check it out:

Gran Fondo Whistler

Join the Speed Theory crew for one last road bash for the year. Charles and I have signed up.

Pigeon Lake

Next weekend is the Pigeon Lake RR. Just wondering who's going in all the Cat's?

I already emailed the race organizer to sign up and I'm already heading up to Edmonton Friday night to visit some friends, then heading to Pigeon early Sunday morning.

Jason Lapierre Memorial Dual-Stage ITT Omnium

The Jason Lapierre Memorial Dual-Stage ITT Omnium

We sincerly hope to put on a unique and great event.

Karelo Registration here!

This weekend is a 'FOCUS' race in Banff.

Sat.'s TT and Crit are FOCUS races for the club. At least the TT if you don't feel comfortable doing the Crit.



REGISTER NOW !! Space is limited for this event.



Hopefully we'll have most of our team racing on Sat. and we have a full 6 man team racing on Sun. ! Should be a good event.

Devon Stage Race and Training Rides

Well Team, the Devon stage race is upon us. With a Hill Climb and Crit on Saturday and a TT on Sunday this should be a good chance for some of our crew to pick up points. At this point, post a comment if you're racing this weekend so we can set up some strategy (via encrypted email). As well, I'd like open the door to some training ride suggestions for the week. I think some hills and perhaps a TT ride would be good (we also have the Team Time Trial on the horizon so we should start picking our race partners)

Lastly, a huge props to the Ryan and Alex for representing at the Crit this weekend. Also, a mad thanks to Mike and Ernie for cheering on the team. It's good to see the E-train out and about.

Saturday Crit

This Saturday is the Wild Roses Crit hosted by the fine folks of HnR Block. Details of the event can be found here (click me). Now, I'm not sure what people are up to but this event combines several excellent things. Beer, fund raising for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation, and lastly bike racing. If you're not up for a hammer fest come out and cheer on the Speed Theory and Friends group. If you are racing, post a comment so we know who to watch out for. As always, to the racers, best of luck.

Bikes On Broadway

Steve and I are heading east to Saskatoon this weekend to race the Bikes On Broadway stage race and were wondering if anyone is interested in hitching a ride. The plan is to leave Saturday morning, hammer the TT, RR and crit on Saturday, Sunday, Monday respectively and head back to Calgary early Monday afternoon. James and some of the other Cranky's are also making the trek. We (or at least myself) are also planning on shunning the hopping Saskatoon night-life and catching as much of the Giro as possible...Let me know here or send me an email...

Bicisport Racing Extravaganza

If you feel the need for speed then look no further that this coming weekend. May 12th and May 13th are filled with action packed action in Strathmore and Calgary's very own Race City Speedway. Bicisport marks the first Calgary race of the season so if you're interested be sure to sign up, suit up, and get your speed freak on.

Here is where you can register. (click me if you dare)

Here in the top right corner you can get more details.


Rob is calling all Cat5s. If you do any racing this year, the Bicisport crit is an excellent race.
You'll learn: How to get comfy in a pack, How to ride corners and, as Trev always says, how to get pumped
There is something to be said for the red and white stripes, the hordes of screaming fans and the elaborate victory celebrations.*

Anyhow, sign up and come on out, should be a great weekend.
