Club Updates: 

  • Thanks to Adrian Richards for putting together a strength program for us! There are 3 commitment levels and you can review them here: https://www.ertc.org/winter-strength-training 

  • Adrian is available in person every Wednesday at the velodrome gym to help you out with any questions you have, or tailor these “stock” plans into something more suited to you, and to check on your form and making sure you aren’t injuring yourself, or just general questions on how to do the exercises. More info is on strava for our gym nights.

  • Thanks to Michael Haydo for setting up a Cat5Gear Coupon Code! You can check out the bags here: https://www.cat5gear.ca/cyclist-case/ and use code “ERTC” to receive 14% off your entire order. I have had mine for 9 years(!!!) and still use it nearly every race / event I go to, as it holds 2 days worth of clothing and kit, and is sure to come in handy at the Velodrome ferrying your stuff around too!  You have until December 1st to take advantage of this offer. Tonight is your last night to order. 

Ride Updates:

  • Watch Slack and Strava for pick-up rides. 

Racing/Event/ABA Updates:

  • Nada

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. Please remember to use the “reply in thread” feature when using slack (especially in the general channel, think about all the group chats you are in, general is like a 400 person group chat) 

  • Our weekly zwift ride is now up and running! Check out strava for instructions on how to join.
