Wednesday Evening Road Rides in Ft. Macleod

There are now enough members in Ft. MacLeod to get Wednesday Evening Road Rides going. These will begin at 6 pm every Wednesday at the curling club (in the Fort Macleod and District Recreation Centre), 235 21^st Street. Every second Wednesday of each month riders will meet at the Monarch/Moon River corner (Hwy #3 and Range Road 241) for a hill climbing session.

Rides will occur if weather permits: if it is raining, snowing (you never know), or wind speeds greater than 40 km then rides will be cancelled.

For insurance purposes, you must be a Headwinds member to participate in social rides and race nights. Included in your membership is a mandatory Alberta Bicycling Association insurance that provides coverage on any club ride should something ever happen.

For more information contact Dr. Alan Poytress at 403.550.3990

New Social Ride for Novice Members

Tuesday Evening Social Rides are now Mondays... read on. It will make sense.

The successful Tuesday Evening Novice rides that were lead by Chelsea Powers and Erin Patterson will continue on! Even though they have concluded Phil Rayner is able to take the lead on these rides on Monday evenings. It will start at the same time as Monday evening regular social rides and they will start off at the same locations as the Monday evening social rides. Confusing? Bottom line... there will be two social Monday Evening Rides: one will be the regular ride and the second is the novice ride lead by Phil (former lead by Chelsea and Erin). These will start at the same time and location as the usual Monday evening social rides. IF this change does not work for the majority of novice ride participants then let Phil or Pete know. We want to continue on with the success of Erin and Chelsea's work!
