Hey everyone! Missed last week’s update cause… things but I’m back this week! (Let’s be real, did anyone notice?)  Welcome to fall riding, aka the best season for riding!

  1. We are now recruiting hard for volunteers for the Croken Classic, our final event of the year. Thankfully our requirements are fairly low. It happens out at Pigeon Lake - check out the volunteer sign-up here: volunteersignup.org/EXQ3K - we would love someone who can grill and hold down the fort while everyone is out riding. 

  2. The Croken Classic Gravel Race is now live and accepting registrants. Tell your gravel curious friends. No race license required! No ABA Club Membership either, but everyone getting this email is one ;) Want to know more or register? https://www.ertc.org/crokenclassic the weather is looking amazing, but the Croken Classic is an “All-Weather” event ;) 

  3. Thursday rides are still going strong, although to do hills after Legislature you will need lights. 

  4. Weekend rides will go as long as there is interest, however many of our ride leaders prefer riding cross. Not interested in cross but interested in continuing to ride on the weekends? Be a ride leader! Let me know if you are interested, as there are definitely people who prefer the smoothness of pavement to grass! 

  5. YEG Cross continues this week: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1635190320143436

  6. Wednesday Night Worlds is at Capilano this week at 7:00pm. ERTC Folks can race for free (I’ve already paid for you!) (Keep your eyes peeled, I have a feeling Kurt will push this to 6:30 this week)
