Results!

Last Saturday turned out to be a great day for racing! While the racing was close, the results took a while due to the contestants speeds..

The first group, ages 10 and under, were able to show those in the older age brackets a thing or two about taking your time..

(Left to right, Kane Moeller 1st place, Ben Laffin 2nd place, Andrew McNaughton 3rd place)

The second group, ages 11-17, weren't to be outdone and showed even more balance and control during the enduring race.

The third group, 18 and older, were all about racing and could have probably learned a little from the younger age groups. With talk like "rubbing is a part of racing" and cries for training wheels we knew the race supervisors were going to have their hands full. Once the rules of the race were re-explained and they understood that "rubbing" wasn't allowed during this race, everything turned out fine.

We would like to thank all of you that participated and took the time out of your own busy schedules to take part or cheer on the contestants.

Information Update!..

With the warmer weather finally arriving a lot of you have been stopping in to get prepared for the cycling season. It has been great meeting all of you and helping to take care of all your cycling needs. Rich and I really enjoy sharing our passion about cycling with you.

This week will mark the beginning of our FREE Group Rides. The "B Group" will begin this Tuesday at 6:15PM with a nice ride out to the lake. This group ride is going to be geared more for those that are beginners or intermediate riders. Not sure what the exact route will be, but it should be a great time for all who participate.

We will also be starting the "A Group" rides on Thursday at 6:15PM. This is going to be for the more advanced riders and will have a quicker pace and longer distance than the B Group. I think this will be a great group for those looking at improving their group riding skills at higher cadences.

We haven't forgotten about you Offroad/Mountain bikers out there. We will be organizing some rides for you beginning in June. We figured that with the travel involved in getting to the good trails, it was worth the delay to make sure the experience was as enjoyable as possible for all that took part.

So if you are interested, make sure you contact us and get yourself signed up to ride. We will be glad to add you to our email list to keep you informed of all the ins and outs for the Group Rides. For safety purposes, we will be requiring all riders to wear a helmet and have either a replacement tube or patch kit for any flats that may happen during the ride.

One more bit of information for you as well. With the postponement of the "World's Slowest Bicycle Race" because of the weather, we have decided to reschedule it for this coming Saturday, May 28th. Make sure you sign up for your chance at the Title of BIKE HUB's Slowest Racer!..
