The route will be a bit of everything. Start from the Red Barn (near the Erdman farm on the picture), heading on the 734 towards Deer Valley. Head down the Deer Valley Climb and then up back up to head then towards Lumsden. As we head into Lumsden, we will ascend James Street hill and then head onto the very short Gravel Secteur (rideable on road bikes), before heading back onto the 734 back to the Red Barn Finish.

August 25, 2022- Individual Time Trial – Regina City Road ITT City Championship

Meet at Save on Foods at 6:15 pm for the ITT riders. We will organize the start list depending on who wants to do the TT…. To help assist with this, please email me (eric.julian.sy@gmail.com) if you are planning of doing the ITT.

The actual start of the course will be set up on the East Service Road dead end road. I will lay out some pylons where the start and finish line are by the Staging area. I am hoping that we can have everyone lining up in their order by 6:20 pm, so please head over to the dead end road to the Staging Area to be ready to go at no later than 6:20 pm

We will have rolling starts at 30 second intervals. As this is an ITT, it is important to note that drafting is not permitted… Drafting events will be penalized accordingly.

The timing will occur by stopwatch…. With a backup of using the Strava segment if there are technical glitches. However, stop watch times will trump Strava times.

The course length is 16 km. It starts from the intersection (just past the dead end road) all the way to the stop sign (which is the Turn around). Please note that they have been doing some crack sealing on the road, so there is some loose gravel on the shoulder in some areas. The roads aren’t closed, so please make sure to stay safe at the turn around at the stop sign.

There will be Open and Women’s categories! Once I have a chance to compile the official final results, I will post separately with the final times.

I’ve attached a photo of the staging area and Strava segment info

Hey all, join us this Tuesday August 9, 2022 for a Team Night at Condie Nature Refuge!!! We’ll be trying to organize the teams, so please message me by Monday, 12 pm so that I can try to arrange some teams/seeds.

As always, weather updates will follow by 4 pm or so at the latest if there is a chance of any inclement weather.

UPDATE 4:17 pm August 2, 2022 – Due to high winds (35 kph and gusting to 50-70 kph) and a serious potential risk of a thunderstorm rolling through Lumsden and Regina around the time we are biking, we will have to cancel/call this one off. Please pre-register for next week’s event in the meantime. See you on Zwift!

Hey all, for Tuesday August 2, 2022, we will be heading back to Condie Nature Refuge for a ride towards Craven on the 734 highway. Only one hill this time. Pursuit race – Slowest group first, followed by faster groups with 5 min and 10 min splits. One hill on the way back up Garbage dump to end it off. Groups can work together or rejoin the faster groups for the W.

Meet at 615 pm -to start at 630 pm from the Parking Lot.

August 9, 2022 – we will be doing a team night in Condie , three hills, but the twist. Everyone will be working in Teams of 3 to get the best possible time. The team that crosses the line first (last rider that is), takes the win.

Please post here in advance if you plan to attend the August 2. I will be posting on Wednesday for the August 9 event to pre-register for the team night. Email me eric.julian.sy@gmail.com if you are planning to attend the Team night

Next week, join us for a new course on the East Service Roads. Lots of potential parking options including a) White Butte Trails lot, b) White City, c) Ride out from East End, d) Park near the Petro Can on the North Service Road. Steve T will be leading this one

Meet at 615 pm by the White Butte Trails turn off on Frankslake Road. Race start is at 6:30 pm

The race will proceed in a clockwise manner (all right hand turns). Please be mindful that these are still open roads, so you still must yield to traffic on the North Service Road when turning right. Corners should be neutralized.

The start and finish will be at the Coppersands sign.

This will be a Pursuit race -Group C will go out first, followed by a 5 minute gap then Group B, then Group A (fastest group) by 7 minutes. Groups can work together and can join the groups they are caught by.

Group C will have an option to do only 2 loops, instead of 3 if they so choose.

Any questions you can direct message me, Steve Trott, or email me eric dot julian dot sy at gmail dot com
