I am not officially cancelling practice but it looks like it could rain..... I will go to Retreat Road to meet those who want to go. I am not riding as I am injured but will give instructions for the ride.

Here is the INDOOR option for tonight to be done at home if you do not want to come all the way to Cochrane.
