July 6, 2009 On Wednesday, June 24th we went up to the Prince Albert National Park and road from the South Gate up to Namekus Lake and back. Here is a photo of the club members who enjoyed the gorgeous evening we had. The Tuesday and Wednesday evening club rides will now start at 6:30pm and will still depart from Fresh Air Experience. The Tuesday night mountain bike rides will include a 15-45min time trial loops around the CN Loop at Little Red River Park. June 9, 2009 This is a long over due update on the club website. The Pine Needle Classic has come and gone for another year...what another great event. Thank you volunteers for making this race happen, your help is very much appreciated. We had a gorgeous day at Little Red River Park, the sun was shining and it was hot. We had a fantastic spread of food for the awards banquet and it was provided by Brennon Martin and his family, and I must say, it was absolutely awesome! We look forward to the 2010 Pine Needle Classic. The club rides have been running and we have been putting up with some pretty ugly spring weather. We will continue to follow our ride schedule with a change to the road trip to Prince Albert National Park. The road ride trip to PANP will take place in the next couple weeks. The exact date will be hosted this week. For the mountain bike ride today we rode into Fish Lake on the Elk Trail in the National Park. What a great ride! Check out the pictures on the Club Photos link. We will do another mountain bike ride in the National Park in July.

There will be the Trek Kids Bike Ride again this year and a poster to follow soon. If you would like to volunteer please give us a call or send us an email. There are a few pictures added to the photos page from the Sask Cup #1 MTB race in North Battleford. These pictures are courtesy of Jon Horn (Epiphany Images). The club rides have been pretty hit and miss due to our up and down weather. Last night we had a great mountain bike ride at Little Red River Park, the weather was perfect and there were no bugs! Unfortunately the road rides have been put on hold due to snow and chilly temperatures. Tonight should be a go as long as it’s above zero and dry. The Rock & Road Cycling Club will be planning a clean up the Park day in June. This will most likely take place on a Saturday morning for 3 hours or so. More details will follow in the following days. Let’s help keep Little Red River Park in tip top shape. April 30, 2009 The calendar of events page has been updated. We have started our Tuesday night mountain bike rides and our Wednesday night road rides. Our Saturday morning road rides will begin on Saturday May 9th at 7am, we will meet at the Great Western Coffee Co. on 15th Street. Thanks to all the riders and volunteers who help make the 2009 Fresh Air Experience Spring Classic road race a huge success. The village of Christopher Lake welcomed us with open arms and proved to be a hit amongst the riders. Thank you to Wrapper Jacks for providing the delicious wraps for after the race and a big thanks to the Royal Canadian Legion of Christopher Lake for providing us an excellent race headquarters. Next race in Prince Albert is on Sunday May 31st when we host the Sask Cup #2 Mountain Bike race at Little Red River Park.
