TNTT - July 9th

The weather was awesome and the top time trialists in the GTA flockedto our Stouffville/Unionville/Markham TNTT 15km course to see who could better the years fastest time. Ilya Petrovski decided he didn't want to be a bridesmaid anymore and smoked off a 19:30 his fastest time of the year and TIED Ed Veal for the fastest time of the year! These two have gone back and forth all season long bettering each other but how much longer can this go on? Can either one of these guys shave off more time? Or, are there any other big guns out there willing to give it a shot? Heath? Darko? Viney? Where are you? Stay tuned as I'm sure the fastest time of the year will be beat! maybe even a course record?

Environment Canada says it was 20C, 50% humidity, wind ESE at 17 kph (a very unusual wind direction for us) Great job everyone! Finish. First Last, Team ET

Big turn out!


What a great ride tonight! 9 club members and one friend came out for an amazing 2 and half hour ride. Thanks to Neil Hendry for the wicked route and thank you to Diego Villate for changing my tire and fixing up that slash with a gum wrapper!


Wednesday Night Ride

Wednesday night club ride meets at the Aurora Rd and Hwy 404 Starbucks (in the Walmart plaza) every Wednesday night all summer long. This ride is open to all team and club members.
We leave for the ride at 6pm sharp! and we ride till the sun goes down. The route changes from week to week but you can expect some great rural roads to ride and a medium tempo with a few hills sprints to keep everyone awake. I look forward to seeing everyone one out tonight!!

Remember you can bring a friend along to check out our ride and our club on a one time trial basis, good people make a great club! see you tonight!

Provincials Pre-Ride

There was a great turn out today as 13 riders met at the Hidden Valley park parking lot to ride the Provincial road race course. We had a few easy laps and a few hot laps, so hot they shredded the field. The course was packed with other cyclists and even a few competing race teams. Thanks to everyone who came out today, we have to do it again the next available/open weekend.

TNTT - July 2nd


Dense cool air blowing dead south at 11 kph makes it hard to on this course, as the 1.25 laps includes the northbound stretch twice. These were the hard facts tonight at the Midweek/LaBiciSquadra's TNTT, as Ed Veal of LaBicicletta/JLindberg won, but did not make his goal of besting his season record. Maybe our fastest guy's (tonights 1st place, Veal, and 2nd place, Jet Fuel Coffee's Peter Morse) legs are a little bit tired after trying in vain to chase down Planet Energy's Ryan Roth at Midweek's 29th Canada Day CHIN picnic criterium race yesterday. Times seemed a bit slow as nobody recorded their fastest time this year, except Steve Pasquill. Our 3rd place rider tonight, Pasquill, is showing continuing improvement. Great Job Everyone!
