Tomorrow there is this - and it is free! Directions here
On Saturday there is the Provincial Crit championship - it is not free but you may be crowned Provincial Champion.
If crits are not your thing some of us are going to Grand Beach to get the course ready for mountain bike provincials. If you feel like helping send Halberto an email.
Tuesday the fun continues with Gianni’s grass track championships.
Flavours on tap this weekend…
First, go to this and watch “little green man.”
Now the riding scene…
If road racing is your thing there is Olli’s (that is Olli not Oly) Mother’s Day Stage Race which starts tomorrow and goes into next week. Details.
Sunday morning ride - Winnipeg to Bur Oak , whirl around a bit, ride home. Meet at Starbucks on Broadway on Sunday @ 7:30AM. Comment to this post to let us know if you want to join us.
Okay, not exactly the weekend, but this starts next week.
Organizing 2 races in 2 weeks is nuts - please someone shoot us if we ever do that again. Having said that it is nice being able to have the volunteers to allow us to do that, huge thanks to: Lindsay, Liam, Arlene F, Tomek J, Dave L and Owen, David and Madelyn (honorary OCC members), Sheldon M, Craig (on loan from FGBC), Andrea Marginet & Family (honorary OCC members), Luc A, Al D, Donna D, Laura L, Paul O, Adrian A, Tommy R, Ed U (honorary OCC member), Liz L (the things you do for family???), Ron K, Dan L, Graham W (on loan from Training Co-op), Josh G (honorary OCC member), and Cory S.
It was wet and cool like promised and it made for a fast track, the sand compacting nicely because of the rain. Some new single track and throwing the baby heads back in made for a more technical and fun course - plans for some new single track are in the works for next year. A new kids loop was included and proved to be a big hit. It was a rolling course, well suited to singlespeeds (1st in Elite, 1st, 3rd and 6th in Expert).
Here are a few pics from Tommy.

All that trials riding pays off, Liam climbing the rock garden with his eyes closed
