Ride Updates:

There are usually 2 rides on Saturday, with Regular and ERTC-Lite. These may be split further to ensure that groups stay below our soft-cap of 15 which is about the limit of a group size manageable by 1 ride leader. Make sure you RSVP appropriately.

All ride planning and updates happen on Strava. Don’t know what that is? Learn more here: https://www.ertc.org/joining-strava if you know what that is, then the link to our strava is here: https://www.strava.com/clubs/ertc - you will need to ask to join and I will let you in once I cross reference you with the membership list. It is highly recommended that you RSVP on strava so that we can plan for an appropriate amount of ride leaders and a suitable route for the group size.
Midweek racing is back after a 4 year long hiatus. More information and sign-up here: https://www.emrcracing.com/ ERTC has a volunteer commitment in order to participate, but when our dates come up we will put out a call for volunteers.
Have a friend who isn’t sure about joining? They can sign the trial waiver here: https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=31901 for 1 free ride. The ride can be any ride, but a heads up to the ride leader would be appreciated.
