Hey folks! Busy week this week with a couple of changes to our usual scheduling and I wanted to get this email out a bit earlier to make sure the word gets out! 

A lot of you have been asking for another skills session so your wish is granted! Monday Night at 6PM, we have another skills session, this time being led by Tiffany. Check out the strava for more details! https://www.strava.com/clubs/2845/group_events/1711802

Our Movie Night is coming up THIS WEDNESDAY so hopefully you’ve grabbed yourself a free ticket - bring your friends and family to join in on the fun! We’ve got an entire movie theatre to ourselves so it should be pretty cool. 

CLUB UPDATES:

  • Join us on July 10 at the Metro Theatre as we witness the triumph of the human spirit in HARD MILES! We will also have some sweet giveaways from our sponsors and stay tuned for info on the after party 😉 🍕.

    Hard Miles tells the uplifting true story of the bicycling team at Rite of Passage’s Ridge View Academy, a medium-security correctional school in Colorado. Beleaguered coach Greg Townsend (Matthew Modine) rounds up an unlikely crew of incarcerated students for a seemingly impossible bike ride from Denver to the Grand Canyon. 

    RSVP and find out more here! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ertc-film-night-hard-miles-tickets-925610916167

RIDE UPDATES:

  • Interval Tuesdays are back! Check out more details on strava! If you want to get your fitness up to the next level, this is the best way to do it (yes, even better than hills ;) They take place on a circuit and thus everyone can participate regardless of skill or fitness. 

RACE UPDATES:

GENERAL REMINDERS:

  • Official Rides are posted on strava. If you haven’t requested to join, please do so here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/2845 if you’ve applied and haven’t heard back, e-mail me, but first, make sure your strava name matches your registration name. 

  • Day to day communication and general chatter is via slack. You can join here: https://join.slack.com/t/edmontonroada-7u36621/shared_invite/zt-1t5qvezds-JotWB~e_EJcXrD9NArQarA - this is where you can get real time updates about unofficial rides, talk bikes with club members, and sell your stuff to other club members! If you identify as female and would like to be included in the WoERTC communications and event announcements, please message Heather Curtis on Slack to be added to the private WoERTC channel.

  • The membership cards are here! If you have been attending rides you may have already gotten one, but if you haven’t they will be carried by all the ride leaders so if it is your first ride, just ask, they will probably have some on them! We will not be mailing these out to you, so the only way to get one is to show up on a ride. Remember to fill out the emergency contact portion of the card. While club leadership has access to your emergency contact information, having it on your person allows anyone else to call someone you trust without contacting us first. This membership card also serves as your proof of membership when getting your discount at the physical location for Hardcore Bikes and Healthcare Solutions. The QR code will lead you to the private site where you can find the discount code for online shopping at 7 Summit Snacks, Healthcare Solutions, and when booking online at Flexion.
