We are happy to announce that ERTC has partnered with the City of Edmonton to offer a 20% discount on recreation center monthly memberships and 15% discount on single visit/punch passes. If you are interested, simply message me on slack or email me and I will provide you with a letter indicating your membership, as long as you are a current year member. You will be asked to present this at the front desk when purchasing your passes. This is especially relevant as the Velodrome is attached to a sauna / hottub / cold plunge pool, perfect for post velodrome activities ;) - You can find out the full pricing and such here: https://www.edmonton.ca/activities_parks_recreation/corporate-wellness-program

Club Updates: 

  • Training camp is Saturday, April 25 to Sunday, May 3 this year. You can join #training-camp-talks on slack at https://edmontonroada-7u36621.slack.com/archives/C037DGKBB5X (or just find it on your sidebar) if you are interested. 

  • Interested or new to racing? Check out our try racing program here: https://forms.gle/jvtr4eh5awdvmQ6p6 - If you have any questions about starting racing in general, please let Jordon Magico know, as he is stepping up to help administer the program, as well as been another resource for our racing exploits. 

  • 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 back this week so look forward to seeing him once again!

  • The new Jakroo webstore is in progress - we will be throwing the links up once that is all ready!

Velodrome Updates: 

  • ERTC has the option of booking one off or recurring additional “Open Track” time as a club. Depending on interest, this can be cheaper than regular Open Track. Check out the thread in the Velodrome Channel to have your say! 

  • Activity Messenger Linkie: https://activitymessenger.com/org/4494/

  • Please continue to RSVP on both Activity Messenger and strava, however only RSVP on Activity Messenger if you are certain you are able to attend, and if you must bow out, to let somebody know ahead of time, as slots are limited to ensure a good experience for everyone and to ensure we are not in violation of safety regulations. We recommend only RSVPing for sessions 1 week in advance, as it has happened where people RSVP for multiple sessions in advance and have forgotten / no showed. 

  • Additional time and certification session discussions with the AVA are underway, as many other clubs are requesting additional time at the velodrome as well. We will have updates for you when we have figured something out. Preliminary discussions likely have additional club time for all clubs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. 

Ride Updates:

Racing/Event/ABA Updates:

  • You can now register for your 2026 UCI Race License (This is especially important if you are attending any events early season) as part of the club registration process. Should you choose to register for your license later on in the season, the cost of a community membership will be deducted from your race license cost.

General Reminders:


Have a cool photo from the last week you want featured? Send it to me via email (I need the resolution) and I’ll make it the header photo! Cool way to show off what you’ve been up to!
