Cameron Mcknight
Cameron started road racing with ERTC in 1999 as a junior.
Crossing over from mountain biking, Cameron discovered why people actually liked riding those 'funny look'n skinny tire bikes'.
Since then, he has honed his racing skills winning provincial races as well as racing with the Provincial and National teams.
Cameron has recently graduated from the UofA with a B.Sc. in Kinesiology and is continuing to pursue his racing goals.
His favourite race is the criterium.

Paul Ignatiuk
After taking 3 years off racing to go to school, Paul started racing again
in 2002. I graduated from Engineering Physics at the U of A and now work in the
MEMs industry. I love long rides on any type of bicycle, though hammering
through single-track on a cyclocross bike is also a blast. I am engaged to
be married this summer to my lovely fiancee in Montreal.

Kevin Rokosh
I’m a ‘retired’ electrical engineer, who is now working hard as a stay-at-home dad
and the ERTC Treasurer. I began bike racing in 1984, placing second in the Palm
Dairies “Ice Cream Classic” Novice race, which was held on our current Canada Day
Criterium course. Then, after a long hiatus of earning my EE degree at the U of A,
and carving out a living as a radar engineer in Ottawa, I finally jumped back into
bike racing in 1997, getting my re-start on the same crit course in Ottawa that
Gord Fraser began his career on. Since arriving back in Edmonton, I have devoted
more serious time to training, and can finally consistently ride sub-one-hour
40km time trials. I’m looking forward to a long career as a Master racer, and
giving the young pups a run for their money in Cat 1/2 races!

In 2004 I raced Category 2 and the best finish I had was 9th at the Pigeon Lake road race.
I prefer the road race to the time trial and will try out the track this year.

I work as an ER physician and am the father of twin girls and we are expecting a 3rd sometime in July.

Dan Wood
Dan joined ERTC in 1994, and his previous highlights included being on
Team Alberta for three years and multiple race wins in Western Canada.
He also completed various races in North America like the 1996 Olympic
Road Trials, The Tour de Beauce, 4th place stage in the Tour de
Saguenay and several top 8 results at the National Time Trials. He
prefers Criterium racing, and has won the Comox Criterium, placed 2nd
just behind Roland Green in the Bastion Square Victoria Criterium and
placed 2nd in Portland's Grand Prix Pro Criterium. He was also the
final cog in the formidable lead out machine that often assisted Mike
Haponiuk win many more criteriums!
Dan was away from the ERTC for a few years, when he did such crazy
things as live in small town Alberta, and bike the world for a year
fully loaded touring with Tonia. They have bike toured in 26 countries,
and in all the world's major mountain ranges, but he still doesn't like
racing uphill. He does however, now have a particular affection for
sticky rice, squat toilets and camping for free.
He decided to race again in 2004, but to only train by cycle commuting
to work. This training regimen is much better for family time, but
makes races seem much harder. The ABA declined his Cat 4 license
request and gave him back his Category 1 license. That was probably
alright, as he then won the silver medal in the Provincial Criterium
Championship for Cat 1/2! He then led the team to float down the Bow
River. He will probably be seen on various criterium courses again this
year, or maybe on a loaded touring bike somewhere, or maybe just
floating down some river on an inner tube.

Stephen Mundy
Stephen joined the ERTC in 1999 and started racing in 2000. Being the CEO of an
emerging High Tech Telecommunications company, my time was at premium and
something had to give, thus I retreated from racing for approximately two
years. I reemerged in 2004 with a fresh prospective on racing and achieved
most if not all of my racing goals in 2004, one of which was a consistent top
5 finisher in each and every race. The other was obtaining my upgrade to
Category 1&2. Thanks to the boys around me for protecting me just when I
needed it most and to Coach Corey for his tireless efforts and encouraging
words.

Tom's been an ERTC member since 1991 and is currently serving as the ERTC's treasurer, as well as Vice President of Administration of the Alberta Bicycle Association. Tom's approach to cycling can best be described as "equipment-intensive". As Tom has often stated: "If I ever get that midnight call from Giuseppe Saronni asking me to race in the Tour de France, I don't want to be down on equipment".
Tom is focusing his efforts on track racing with a goal of becoming a sprinter in his declining years. When not on his bike, Tom works as a Chartered Accountant.

Bob Burden
Bob is a partner in Serecon Management Consulting Inc., and fits his work schedule around the more important activity of looking for jerseys to match his bike, or bikes to match his jerseys. Having been a member of the ERTC since 1983, he has had the good fortune of meeting and riding with a number of great people many of whom have become close friends. While enjoying road racing, he has more recently turned his focus back to the track, where the gearing is a little simpler to figure out and the beer is always closer.
Bob’s most successful cycling experience was meeting his wife Nancy in 1986, scoring big points due to his shaved legs, cool leather helmet, and matching jersey (of course). His proudest accomplishment is the fact that he still looks forward to riding his bike on the quiet roads in the Edmonton area even after all these years of training.
Bob believes that cycling is a lifetime sport, and love to see all of the masters and vets out racing at the EVCA events where the focus is on the people racing and not just the race. People like Maurice Johnson should be an inspiration to everyone who rides a bike.
