Itinerary:
This event is an opportunity to learn and practice safe riding in close formations. You will come away with both the do's and the do not's when riding so as to take advantage of aerodynamics while remaining safe. This is an event where we are hoping for some wind to help teach the lesson along with your ability to sustain riding at 21 plus k.p.h. Please note: If the weather is not going to cooperate we will contact all registrants regarding an alternate date by email on May 12.
Required Items to Bring: Your normal riding gear and a pocket or pannier to keep paper in a dry location. Recommended Items to Bring: Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need. Writing instrument
How to Get There:
Event Directions:		Travel south on Crowchild Trail. Continue past the Lakeview Shopping Centre and straight into North Glenmore Park. We are meeting in the parking lot just past the left turn on to the Canoe Club access road.
Notes:
We start without bikes and provide a brief description of what we will be practicing starting promptly at 7 p.m. This is followed by 5 minutes to mount our bikes, 10 minutes to ride a warm up loop and get acquainted with the roadway. The remainder of the time will be used to practice pace line riding. Each rider will receive feedback. - We encourage all members to follow the rules of the road at all times while participating in EVCC events. - Details of this event are subject to undergo a change at any point in time, with or without warning. - Notice any errors or problems in the information on this page?
