As we head into fall, this is a reminder that WoERTC rides, Thursday Hill Night, and Saturday rides generally continue until it is too cold or it snows.
Club Updates:
Geoff Hansen is hosting a BBQ Social on Saturday August 26. The details are in the email / slack and the RSVP is in slack. All rides will be re-routed to stop by on the way in. All current year members are welcome to come at any time while it is on.
ERTC will be hosting coached CX skill sessions September 5 and 12th in the evening. Spots are limited and we would like them to first time crossers or with less than a season under their belt. E-mail me to express interest along with your CX experience and I will let you know if you are in or waitlisted. Even if you have some experience please email me if you are interested to get on the waitlist.

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.
