Canada Day in Edmonton

This is a quick plug for a great event that will take place Canada Day and which many of you may be interested in attending. The event is the Canada Day Criterium, a very exciting and fast bike race that will take place on the Legislature grounds, encircling the rest of the Canada Day festivities in the area.

Details for the race can be found on the Edmonton Road and Tarck Club webpage if you've never seen a bike race before this is one of the most interesting races to see, with racers achieving speeds in excess of 70 km/h (the slowest speeds will be at the top of the hill at a mere 30 km/h) and completing laps every couple of minutes, it's far from being a dull race. Plus if you are interested in helping out by volunteering for the event, which is always needed, feel free to contact Peter Toth at cdc@ertc.org

Of note this is considered to be the best race circuit in Canada and it will be the same course used for the World Masters Games race later this summer (Peter also needs volunteers for that event if you are interested). So if you don't have any plans for Canada Day think of heading down to the Legislature around 12:30 to catch some great racing.
