Team Escape Velocity Cycling Club

So after a perfect season of races at the WTNC (not a single rain-out), we've got a soaker on our hands for the awards night. Instead of hanging out at UBC and getting wet, we invite you to join us for a beer at the Coppertank at 3135 West Broadway. We're paying out top 3 (sorry, not 5, it's the top 3 only) in each category, so if you're in the money, come for your cheque and your picture with the trophy.

Congratulations to the following WTNC champions for 2010:

Cat 1-2 Men: Mike Sidic, Team HR Block
Cat 1-2-3 Women: Jasmin Glaesser, Team BC/Haywood
Cat 3 Men: Marc Perrot, Glotman Simpson
Cat 4 Men: Colin Rimes, Glotman Simpson
Cat 4 Women: Reno Tamasin, Glotman Simpson
Novice Men: Karl Kolbeck

Thanks to all for your patience. Full results are now available for review.

BCTT! Yep, it's nearly the time of trial. A few more last-minute things.

If you are coming from Vancouver Island via ferry, and you pre-register, we can give you a later start time so you're not sprinting off the ferry. Mention it to us on the pre-reg form and we'll do what we can.

Bike measurements

Here are some guidelines on how your bike will be measured by the commissaires before you start:

• Peak of seat must be 5cm or more behind bottom bracket
  
• Aero bars must be horizontal, not tilted up
  

So we're nearly ready for the BC TT Championships. Are you? One key detail: The sign-up tent will be in the Tradex parking lot. That is also where you can park, and they have nice, non porta-potty washrooms there. There will be NO on-course parking.

Tradex is about 3 km of easy riding to the start-finish. Here's the directions from Tradex to race start:

No big news, but lots of little news. Let's do this.

Two WTNC races left, and only one for points

This week is the last race that counts for the year's WTNC standings, as we award trophies on August 31. In order to get you pumped, I'm embedding Jennifer Wolowic's tribute to WTNC, and it's way cooler than your club's bike video. Sorry to be harsh, but you know it's true. You owe it to yourself to watch it in HD fullscreen with the sound up.
