Canada Day Rides - Updated

It has been a tradition in the club on Canada Day to ride a distance, in km, equivalent to the number of years since Confederation. This is year 157. I would like to get an idea of who is interested in undertaking this Canada Day adventure on Monday July 1. Please comment below if you plan to join the event.

I will prepare 2 routes. One for the full distance of 157 km and one for half the distance of 78.5 for those who would like to participate on a smaller scale. I am anticipating that the Rec and possibly C riders would do the shorter distance while A, B and possibly some C riders would do the longer route. We will arrange the ride groups based on those who indicate their intent to join these rides.

Like the Solstice rides, the Canada Day rides will leave from and return to the Gale Centre parking lot in Niagara Falls.

Allyson Grady and Eva Klein will lead the shorter ride as a Rec Ride and will depart the Gale Centre Parking lot at 8:00 am. They will use their own route which will be posted on the website.

I (Bruce Tulloch) will lead the longer ride as a B ride which will depart the Gale Centre Parking Lot at 7:00 am. The longer route is posted on the website.

Check this website and the Remind app for for updates leading up to the ride.

Relaxed Fit Jerseys

Some members have expressed interest in having a relaxed fit jersey option when ordering their club kit. This year's order has already gone in, so we are looking forward to the next order which will probably be for the 2025 season. We are interested in getting feedback.

Our current supplier, Hincapie, has provided samples of their relaxed fit custom jersey. It is from their Axis line, https://hincapie.com/collections/axis. You can compare these to the existing club jerseys from the Velocity line, https://hincapie.com/collections/velocity, which are termed "race cut". The relaxed fit jersey will have the same Amici graphic pattern as the race cut jersey. The relaxed fit jerseys are 100% polyester and the same texture throughout, They do not have separate stretchy cuffs on the sleeve or the breathable panels on the sides and back of the neck.

The samples include a men's XL and a women's L.  If anyone is interested in looking at the samples or trying them on, text me at 905-351-1484.

Expect to get more information on kit options as we prepare for the 2025 season.
