Alyssa Shaver was elected to the RCC exec for the first time to lead our 2023 women’s program. Alyssa has been a key contributor to our developing women’s program over the last couple of years and she has some great ideas for women’s programming in 2023 that I am very excited about!

The evening was also a chance to extend our thanks to a few special members of our club who have contributed years of service on the RCC executive and are now passing the torch on this year. James Korpan was president of the club for 8 years, during which time his efforts saw the club membership by ~50% and its programming expand massively. Adele Grundahl (A.K.A. Mrs. Time Trial) was RCC’s Secretary for many years before she turned her focus to spearheading RCC Women’s Program which has welcomed many new members over the last two years. Russ Down‘s work on youth development has led to some fast young folks on bikes who’ve earned big results.

And most of all thank you to all the committee members and volunteers who made our 2022 events happen, and to the riders who came out and made them successful.

Anyone who is interested in helping out with the 2023 season is invited to get in touch with our president or the appropriate VP. Whether you want to join a committee, volunteer on race day, or lead rides, reach out.

Rubber side down!

The Roubaix

The RCC Roubaix has been a staple in the RCC Gravel calendar with over 10-year history hosting this spring classic. Pioneers of “GRAVEL”, RCC started this event years before gravel was cool or gravel specific bikes were even a thing. By staying off the pavement, riding offroad becomes an adventure where google maps is your new best friend to endless possibilities. This year we are featuring a brand-new course. We have used these roads near Disley in past FUNdos. With 114m of climbing per lap, the legs will be screaming!

Parking and start of the neutral roll out. Located directly across the road from the Lumsden RCMP Detachment. Race course is 8km West of Lumsden. Both race distances will ride out to the race course as one group at 10am sharp. When choosing your race distance, be mindful you will adding approx. 25min(8km) prior to the race, and another 25min(8km) ride back to the campground in Lumsden. There will be a spot for riders to drop clothes, bags, food etc. at the start/finish.


For those of you who prefer to drive out to the course start/finish, you must first sign on at the campground before driving out. Parking will be limited. Plan to be ready to ride at the course start/finish at 10:20am.
