Practice DUATHLON for 6th night in summer workout series

admin — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 17:50:18 +0000

Last night’s workout was a practice DUATHLON (run-bike-run) . Six weeks into our program, it was an opportunity for newcomers to put the pieces together while vets could work on their training.

It was a beautiful night at Fancy Lake for the big turnout … is summer finally here ?!?

This concludes our bike/run bricks and we look forward to adding lake swims as part of the weekly program.

Lots of smiles last night (more photos on our FACEBOOK Group) … none more than Ken pictured above!

2010 Good Friday Aspotogan Ride

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 16:32:02 +0000

It was the biggest group of cyclists ever (20+) for the annual Good Friday Aspotogan ride.

Good cycling weather (12C, little to no wind and cloudy with sunny breaks) and very little car traffic … sweet!

Of course, the post ride nutrition break is always a hit.
