It was difficult setting a time and date convenient for all interested. It will be held at North Glenmore Park Lakeside entering through the community of Lakeview. Rental bikes available for those who do not have them. Stephen Burke the Alberta Cycling Coach' will be in attendance and looks forward to meeting members especially those interested in competitive racing. Our own Carla Yustak who is a competitive racer will be there to assist all levels of cyclists.
Weather permitting it looks like a successful event is planned.
Members had been approached by phone as well by email to notify of the event. With June being such a busy month it was difficult to secure a date that was satisfactory for all that wished to attend, as well have Stephen Burke, Cycling Coach from the Olympic Oval National Cycling Center there to assist. Even with Stephen last minute obligations made it not possible for him to attend. Discussion was held on the importance of helmets, positioning of feet on ground for balance, seat height, extension of legs, pedal cages, as well specialty shoes that snap onto pedals to assist with pedaling. A variety of bikes were there, competitive racing bike, mountain bikes and a custom bike modified for an above knee amputee.
