Hi gang – This weekend kicks off our first Ontario Cup Race of the year at Mansfield.

Thomas has been able to secure a spot for a team tent this year in the sponsor area. The trailer & tents will be in the sponsor area for race day as well as for pre-riding. We won’t be able to park our cars there however we will be close to the start / podium area. This puts Mountainview right in the middle of the action.

Team pre-riding will be on every Saturday before the race at 10:30am. It would be great to see as many team riders as possible for the pre-ride as we can help one another. The trailer and tent will arrive at 10am so let’s have everyone ready to ride by 10:30am.

If you have any questions, please email me or call me on my cell 705-527-7109.

Happy Racing -

Your race day co-ordinator,

Mark Matthews

Hi,

Good news! Mountainview is ready for riding so we are going to start group rides there this Tuesday (April 13th). The rides will start at 5:30pm so meet in the parking lot and groups will be determined based on who is there.

Please remember that our insurance coverage starts at 5:30pm so you shouldn’t be riding there before then (or on other days for that matter). I realize that you may feel this is somewhat inconvenient, but we have to respect the wishes of the land owners. Please follow the rules so we can continue riding there.

We still have some spots available on the Big Bike for Heart and Stroke. It is going to be a lot of fun and for a good cause so sign up at: https://secure.heartandstroke.ca/faf/home/waiver.asp?ievent=332637&lis=1&kntae332637=7B0484BCAFE7414D9F37D68A446B4E73&jt=3719142&teamsName=Mountainview+Cycling+Club

Thanks to those who have already signed up. We will be stopping by your houses sometime this week (or give it to you on Tuesday if you’re there) to drop off some stuff for the event.

Thanks, MCC

On April 28th the Mountainview Cycling Club will be riding a BIG BIKE for the Heart & Stroke Foundation!  We have been allocated the 7pm time slot, so sign up to help us set a new course record! Oh, and raise some money for a good cause while we’re at it

To help MCC with this endeavour, please check out our team page to make a donation to the team, or register yourself so you can help pedal this thing around town!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are taking advantage of this great weather to get out and RIDE! Its a beautiful start to the spring, and a great chance to get an early start on the spring training.

TRAIL MAINTENANCE DAY – TOMORROW

Now that most of the snow/ice is gone from the woods, we would like to get in and start cleaning up the trails in preparation for riding at Mountainview. Please note this does not mean the trails are not ready for riding, it is still very soft and wet in the woods, last time we checked. However, getting some raking in this weekend will help dry it out sooner, and allow us to assess when we can begin our group rides at Mountainview.

We are planning some trail maintenance work for tomorrow, Saturday April 3rd starting at 9:00am at Mountainview parking lot. Any volunteers who would like to come out and help would be appreciated. No experience necessary. If you plan on coming please bring your own rake. Also some drinking water and gloves are a good idea too.

GROUP RIDE @ COPELAND – MONDAY

We were in to Copeland Forest and checked out the trails there. A surprising amount of it is dry and ready! With that said, and a long weekend in our favour, we are planning a group ride there on Monday afternoon, 4pm start. Meet in the usual parking lot off the end of the 4th line. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Please note this ride is for experienced riders who know their way around, or have been here with us before. For our new members who are just beginning, we will be sending out more information soon regarding the format of our “learning to ride” program. But for now, get outside, enjoy the weather, and ride safe!

Cheers,

Lee.

Just in case you aren’t on our email list yet, be sure to get up to the Rec Centre tomorrow to register and become a club member! Whether you are a returning member and want to get the paperwork out of the way, or interested in joining and want to know what we’re all about, COME ON OUT.
