The rain put a little bit of a damper on things for the Sunday Morning Ride, but Steve was out there and ready to pedal. Miserable weather doesn’t stop us from riding and it shouldn’t stop you. Luckily, the sun is expected to shine strong this coming weekend, so no excuses! There’s another cyclocross race in Vancouver this Saturday. Look for Local Ride Racing team members, Robbie and Barry (for his inaugeral ‘cross race), staffer Sandra and Local Ride buddies Paul and Sue will be on course too.

Sunday Rides
Come on out for a quality group road ride every Sunday with a bunch of fun folks. Depending on numbers, we’ll try to split into an “A” and “B” group. The “A” Group normally averages around 30kph for 3+ hours, while the “B” Group averages around 25kph for 2+ hours. If you’re unsure whether you fit into one of our groups, join us for our flat, half-hour warm-up. Road bikes are highly recommended and as the rain rolls in, we’re making fenders mandatory, unless you’re content to ride at the back of the group. Make sure you come for coffee before we head off:
Where: Starbuck’s at Valley Fair Mall, Lougheed Hwy., Maple Ridge
When: Sundays @ 8:30 a.m. for coffee; ETD @ 9:00 a.m.
