This week we will meet at the Bearspaw Community Centre again. This was a great location as it was easy to find and not too far out of town. Please be ready to go (ie. tension to the chain) by 6:15pm.
I will post an indoor option at by 5pm at the latest if it looks like rain. It says rain in the forecast but I am crossing my fingers that is not the case.

Wednesday May 26th
Hey gang! Sorry for the late post as with the long weekend and all I am just a bit behind.
We will be riding at 6:15 meeting at the top of Cochrane Hill. We will meet at the corner of Retreat Road and Highway 1A (at the top of Cochrane Hill). I will get there early so people can see me. I will keep my phone on so if you get lost you can call me.
We will do a warm-up along Retreat Road and then ride up through Glen Eagles a few times!
See you tomorrow!
