Leo and Peter led the ride with four other participants. The route was a safe and quiet one, using Labieux, and several roads off Meredith, to return on the E and N Trail , Shenton and Labieux again, back to Beban Park. These casual rides are designed to teach traffic proofing and group riding skills to those cyclists who are nervous about riding together and would like to learn about basic group riding techniques such as drafting and sharing the effort. The next ride is on the Monday of the long weekend. Time 6.30pm, place Beban Park Parking Lot next to the Kids' Playground. See you there.
Here are the results for this week's Boxwood Criterium on the popular Boxwood Circuit. Twenty-eight starters tonight - a new record. With these numbers showing, we will not be using the Arbutus Meadows course as there is a safety concern. Therefore next week's race will be at Boxwood.

Outsider Adventures of Qualicum Beach is offering an incentive to reward anyone who volunteers for the crits. They willl kick in an hour's kayak rental for 2 people from Outsider Adventures. The offer stands throughout the season. Details to follow. This is a fabulous offer from owner Michael Addiscott and will doubtless see our events swamped with offers of help.
Thanks Michael
