Hi All,
The weather is warming up and the riders are coming out!
We had 10 riders last night covering just under 60 km
The pace line was working and the pace was quick - fast in some places!
If you are interested in joining our Tues and Thurs evening rides (6:00 PM) and
the Sat and
Sunday AM rides (9:00 AM ) please come out. Regular riding will get you in shape
faster
and the more riders we have, the better the club atmosphere.
Tues, Thurs and Sat rides are from Walker's Line and Dundas, just behind the Tim
Horton's
drive thru in the Longo's Plaza
Sunday we leave from Lower Base Line and 6th Line. There is limited car parking
at the
South west corner.
Go here for more details: http://www.oakvillecc.com/briskpacerides.shtml
No one gets dropped without thier consent
Have a great day!
Rob
Hi there,
For anyone doing the club time trials, I have a size large OCC Sugoi
skinsuit for sale. This is a spare that I had and I may have worn it once or
twice at the most. This is worth about $120 at cost and I am asking $75; it
is a bit too big for me and I have lots of others to use. This is not
something that you will be able to find elsewhere since only a limited
number were ordered.
Also, I will be selling a Cervelo P3 TT bike but have not figured out a
price yet nor if I would sell with wheels or not. It's in the 54 cm range
and equipped with Dura Ace 9-speed group - bar-end shifters and all. Selling
because I bought a Carbon P3.
While I'm at it, I have a Bontrager Aero-X Power Tap SL (the top one)
complete wheel/system for sale. This is a "factory built" Bontrager system
worth about $1,700. Asking $1,100. Selling because I will be upgrading to
the wireless system but it costs about double.
I will be putting this on the CC Forum later but thought I would offer it
locally first.
E-mail or call me at home:

Is anyone else planning on attending the Calabogie Spring Classic this
weekend? I'm thinking of going up to race (my first non-club race) and
was wondering if there would be any other club members making the trip.
Let me know!

Dear Biking Enthusiast,
Andrew and I, are two brothers from Manitoulin Island. Andrew has
just completed his first year of university and I am graduating high
school this year. We have started a company called Brother Bears Bike
Tours on Manitoulin Island. We are offering an exciting and very
beautiful all inclusive bike tour of Manitoulin Island suitable for all
levels of experience. We plan to cater to bike clubs from Canada and the
Northern States that are looking for something new and unique.
Bikers can arrive by ferry on the Chichimaun from Tobermory(4
hours north of Toronto along the Bruce peninsula) or by the bridge at
Little
Current(1.5 hours south west of Sudbury). We would meet your group and
provide all the logistics.
--> Our routes evolve around your needs. We can set up trips starting
--> from
60km a day and getting as long as you would like. We provide a
knowledgeable guide who is very familiar with the roads and land(Andrew
or myself) who will travel with the group and will be able to answer
questions about the trail and the island.
-->Your gear would be transported to the camping sites for you. The
-->camping
is on private property and is some of the most scenic on the Island(the
first night is at private beach side camp site and the second is atop
McLeans Mountain looking out to the North Channel).
-->The food will be fresh and organic from our own garden.
-->We could provide a limited number of bikes for those who could not
-->supply
their own, as we also run day tours and rent bikes during the week.
--> The three day trips, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, (weekday trips can be
arranged) cost $250 per person, discounts are available for larger
groups.
We would appreciate if you could spread the word and let us know if some
of your group might be interested in a booking a tour. (We anticipate
the Friday evening to Sunday evening tours will book up quickly)This is
a new and unique trip that you wont want to miss out on. If you have any
questions feel free to call or email me at:

DISCOVERY LANDING Where along the Waterfront Trail can you see a 2 meter high tornado? Discovery Landing offers you the chance to see and feel how a tornado forms as well as learn about how Lake Ontario influences our weather and ecosystem. There are over 14,200 square feet to discover, offering a place to break from a bike ride along the Waterfront Trail, an activity after a picnic, or a building to admire during a walk along Burlington’s waterfront.
The Dofasco Waterjet Plaza, beside Discovery Landing, will open on May 19th, offering another unique and fun way to cool off this summer.

The week long festival attracts 45,000 people from all over the world and shuts down city streets for cyclists, offers a tour of the city at night, and a lively musical tour. Space is limited, the package flexible, and camaraderie is guaranteed.
Experienced guides, accommodation, meals and snacks are provided. To sign up or request more information, contact Vicki at vb@... or 416-943-8080.

Phil at Cyclepath Oakville has a set of 2007 Bontrager Race X-Lite Aero
Power Tap SL wheels for sale. There are about 800 km on the wheels. He tells
me that he wants $1,700 for the set but I think that he might accept a bit
less.
I've been riding with a Power Tap myself for a year and I can vouch that
it's a great training tool; as opposed to heart rate, power doesn't lie.
These come with the heart rate strap and the downloading cradle so you can
view the ride data on your computer.
Please call Phil directly at:
Home (905) 631-1091
At Cyclepath (905) 338-0783
Some info here: http://www.bontrager.com/Road/Wheelworks/Wheels/17565.php
In addition to being your Secretary in the OCC I also run my
own bike touring business: Tailwind Touring.
At the moment I have tours lined up as follows:
Finger Lakes New York – June 2-7
Copenhagen and
Northern Sealand in Denmark
– August 18-24
ProvenceFrance –
September 15-25
I specialize in tours for smaller groups of individuals in
the 40-70(+) age group and daily average is about 50 km per day. So the
distance and pace and terrain are all fairly moderate. The focus of my tours is
the enjoyment of spectacular scenery, good food and good company.
I will of course offer a discount to OCC members if you sign up for a
tour.
I know that many of you don’t fall in the 40-70+ age group but if
you don’t, I am sure you know someone who does and who might be
interested. And for everyone you refer and who sign up I will pay you $50. It
could be the easiest money you ever get!
So don’t be shy – sign up for a great ride or send this
information to everyone else who you think would be interested.
To check out my tours in more detail, go to my web site: www.tailwindtouring.com or you can
contact me directly at 905-842-8861
I will be out of the office starting 03/09/2007 and will not return until
03/19/2007.
If you need immediate help please contact John Collins, or Brian Armstrong.
If anyone has nothing better to do I'm looking for support for my "last"
24hr solo race May 19-20. Besides watching me suffer you get great food,
all the beer you want, and a warm cabin. All I ask is that you hand me a
water bottle and a gel each lap, keep my time off the bike to a minimum,
and point me in the right direction for the next lap! {;->

Subject: LIFE$TYLE$ 24 HOUR - MARCH BROADCAST
Greetings to everyone! I hope all is well and that you're training hard
for the upcoming season. Personally I'm getting tired of riding the
trainer. I had some great rides in January and early Feb but its either
been too cold or too icy around here for a good ride. However, the birds
are now singing just after 6am so spring isn't far off.
Unlike most years I haven't troubled you with lots of emails leading up
to the race. Instead I've invested a lot of time behind the scenes
getting everything in place much earlier than normal.
Here's how planning is going:
1) Number plates ordered.
2) Medals ordered.
3) St. John Ambulance confirmed.
4) 95% of our staff confirmed to help.
5) 2nd place prizes confirmed.
6) Menu confirmed. I just met with Chef Danielle and we've worked out
this year's menu. Some returning features, but new items as well.
Saturday Lunch - jambalaya
Saturday Dinner - farfalle pasta with veggies in either olio sauce or
tomato sauce + garlic bread, etc. (and of course Danielle's home made
cookies for an evening snack) Sunday Breakfast - blueberry pancakes with
Brandt Meat sausages Sunday Finale Dinner - lemon herb roast chicken
with double roasted potatoes and additional sides.
We hope you like that menu. Feedback is welcome and encouraged.
ADDITIONAL MENU CONCERNS - if anyone receiving this email (solos and
team captains) has any dietary concerns we are fully prepared to
accomodate those concerns. However, we need to plan in advance.
Therefore we need to know what we can do for you no later than Monday
April 30th. TEAM CAPTAINS - find out if anyone on your team has dietary
concerns and let us know, identifying this person by name. We are going
to have special meal ID for those with these concerns. Chef Danielle is
a real chef. She has training to prepare foods for vegetarians, wheat
allergies etc. She is happy to do it, but she can't read people's minds
to know what they want/need. Please give us some advance warning and
we'll bend over backwards to look after you.
7) Race course. Yes, your home for May 19/20th. If you would like to
look at the preliminary course design follow this link -
http://www.wowmtb.com/LifeMap2007.html
The main differences are that we aren't going to use "45" this year.
Instead you'll go up the hill above the Start/Finish. There are a couple
of new things along the top of the ridge as well. The big change is on
the west part of the course we're you'll come down the challenging
Zach's Revenge Trail (twisty turny singletrack - definitely not high
speed) and then a good climb on a piece of singletrack that I haven't
put in the race before. I've got lots of options in this area if the
weather is bad. I estimate the distance has gone up marginally by about
400m to approx. 13km per lap. I'll of course GPS the route once the snow
has gone. Comments are welcome.
In addition we still have room for one more team and a couple of solos.
If you know of anyone who is interested please send them my way. I'd
love to have these spots occupied by women, but men are of course
welcome.
REMINDER - THE BALANCE OF THE DEPOSIT IS DUE APRIL 1ST. Thanks to all of
you eager riders who have sent their payment in advance of this date.
Happy Trails!
Mike, W.O.W.
Yes, it is time to renew your membership in the Oakville
Cycling Club so you can continue to enjoy our cycling activities from leisure
road riding, touring, faster paced road training rides, road racing and time
trials, to mountain biking.
In the next few days we will be mailing out membership forms
to our 2006 members to complete and mail in along with a clothing order form,
in case you want to look your best on your bike. However, you do not have
to wait for the mail to arrive. You can go to our web site at http://www.oakvillecc.com/jointoday.shtml
and download and print the required forms. The deadline for clothing
orders, if you want them this spring, is March 31 so hurry and get your forms
completed and mailed in.
Many of you may know other people who are interested in
biking, so this year we would like to take advantage of that by reducing your
own membership fee. If a new member joins, who has been referred by you, they
can indicate so in the Referral section on the bottom of the membership form. For
every new member you refer you will receive $5 off your membership fee up to a
maximum of $50. How good is that!
We look forward to your continued membership and
participation in 2007.

Due to weather and not enough interest, the easy pace tour
from Guelph to
Elora has been cancelled. Instead, for those who are interested we will do a
ride starting from Tim Horton’s at Walkers Line at 9 am. Distance 60-75
km depending on weather and interest.
Due to weather and a lack of interest the ride has been cancelled. The
usual Saturady ride will start at 9:00 am from Walkers and Dundas.
Please note that as of next Saturday (October 7th 2006) the Walkers and
Dundas Saturday and Sunday morning road rides will be leaving at 10am.

Hello all,
It looks like the weather is going to be less than great for the ride
tomorrow. However, the rain may not start until the after noon, the cold on
the other hand will be at the start point waiting for us. I am willing to
give the ride a chance. I would like to know if others are also willing to
try. Can you please e-mail or phone me and let me know if you would like to
do the ride. If a few people want to go then I will be there. If I get no
response then I will call the ride off.
Cheers....Daryl

Also, we are planning a ride on October 1 from Guelph to Elora which by
then should be most spectacular in fall colours. To gauge the interest
level could you please email me if you are interested. We would likely
start at 10 am and have lunch in Elora before heading back to Guelph.
Hi Folks,
I have always wanted to do the Georgetown ride but it falls on the NOTL
Biathlon race day. Next weekend I am in Cuba riding on the surprisingly good
Cuban roads around Havana.
See everyone next Spring.
BTW: Did anyone ride in the "Stop the Dump" tour? Although I paid for this
event, I was sick that weekend and could not participate.
Regards,
Steve

Well folks it looks like the rain will be the main theme of the day

Just to remind everyone that this Saturday the road ride will take place in
Georgetown/Geln Williams. We will be rolling through the Caledon hills and
this is a scenic and hilly ride. We will aim to do around 80-90km. If the
weather is good we should have a nice turnout. If it is raining then the
ride will be be moved to next Saturday. The start time is 10am and after
the ride we usually drop in the local pub for a beer and some tall tails.
Please visit the link for location details. If those who prefer shorter
distances and easier paces would like to ride the area I will prepare a
shorter route and we can have two groups. Please email me if you think that
you will be able to attend and at what pace you would like to ride.
Cheers....Daryl
