Last Weeks of Spring

Cycling season is well underway with much activity given the incredible cycling weather we are having. Outside of the busy club event calendar, many events on weekends have taken place such as the Cowichan Crusher and recently the Belgium Waffle Ride. Members will also be participating in future non club events such as the Cowichan Populaire June 10th and Forbidden Gravel in Cumberland June 17th. We live in an area with many cycling distraction, so we can expect participation in our events to be a little unpredictable over the next few months. Also some members, apparently, take holidays! and when school is out there could be additional family commitments.

To accomodate this uncertainty some events may be canceled and some will require an impromptu leader to step forward, possibly on the spot, such as at the start of a Sunday Social Ride or a Monday Night Development Ride. Most of us are very familiar with the ride formats so it shouldn't be a problem. Kudos to those who have already stepped up. If your event is not canceled and you are the only one to show up, that is very unfortunate and hopefully will rarely happen. Not a good thing.

This coming weekend June 3-4 seems to have an absence of big events?, so maybe we will have a large turnout for the Sunday Social Ride on June 4th. Planned is a civilized 78km ride around Nanoose and parts of hilly Nanaimo. And for you gravel riders the Coal City Cycle Gravel Group Ride will be heading out Saturday June 3rd from the end of Nanaimo Rider Road at 9am.

Please note: Lantzville Foothills Hill Climb on Tuesday May 30th is Canceled.
