Recovery Week Time Trial Practice

From: Frank [Race Director]

Rest Week 5 km TT  -  Thursday May 23, 2013

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The club will run a short time trial practice at DD track. This is for SCC club members ONLY and you MUST pre-register via email:  frankbattaion@yahoo.ca  or through our official Facebook page.  Please spread the word to members who are not on Facebook and help them register.  Deadline for registration is Tuesday night before.  No fees, no prizes ... just bragging rights. People can use this practice to do their 5 km field test.  If interested, please let Frank or Battista know before hand and make sure you know how to use your HR monitor as we’re busy timing. Riders will be paired [slow with faster] and will time each other unless we have enough timers.  We do this so we can run 4-5 riders at once and it’s is a format that’s worked well in the past. The teams and "heats" will be arranged ahead of time.  Please note that ‘heat teams’ will gather at the finish line and be escorted to the start by a timer [don’t go to the hill and wait for us]. All tt's will start from the ‘fly’ at the top of the hill with timing commencing at the line. Stop watches, timing sheets and clip-boards will be provided for each paired team.  Riders can ride around the track during the TT but will not be permitted to do another type of workout.  The warm up will start at 6:15 pm and we may shorten it.  Use your road or TT bike.  Finally, it will be cancelled if raining.

"Weather Calls" at the track

This is just to clarify the “weather calls” for our track practices.

Practice will be cancelled if the track surface is wet. If conditions change, practice will continue at the discretion of our coach.

If weather prevents us from using the track tonight , April 30, we do have the field house for indoor training. Tonight will be the final evening that the field house is available to us.

Help to sweep the track before each practice is always appreciated. It usually takes three or four volunteers to show up around 5:45 to sweep gravel from the track.

Computrainer testing tomorrow, and April showers...

The Computrainer 5km time trial test is available if a few SCC members would like to take it tomorrow night, May 25. The test gives information on wattage output, and with your heart rate monitor you can get a heart rate profile to help structure your training. If you would like to perform the test, please contact Battista as soon as possible at coach@sudburycc.ca

And despite having the track available to us now, the weather might not always co-operate. If the track surface is wet, we still have access to the field house until the end of April for indoor training.

Outdoor Practices

Outdoor training on Delki Dozzi track starts this Thursday, April 25

Practices are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

“Team huddle” is at 6:15, and practice starts immediately after.

Membership with SCC for 2013 is required, and a helmet must be worn.

Volunteers to sweep the track before each practice are always appreciated. It usually takes three or four people to show up around 5:45 to sweep gravel from the track.

Reminder - April 21 indoor practice is cancelled

Just a reminder that we don't have Delki Dozzi Hall for indoor practice on April 21, so practice is cancelled for that day.

April 2013 Practices

6:00pm to 8:00pm Tuesdays and Thursdays, and

1:00pm to 4:00pm Sundays.

2013 Membership Registration and Indoor Practices

Sudbury Cycling Club 2013 membership registration is now available, and indoor practices for registered members will start this Thursday, January 31.

Membership registration:

Sudbury Cycling Club membership registration is now available online at http://www.sudburycc.ca/membership/

Please be sure to pay for OCA insurance as part of your registration. The only insurance option available at the moment is the $39 OCA general membership insurance.

A second option for insurance will be to buy a 2013 UCI license. It is expected that UCI licenses will be available on our registration system next week.

If you plan to buy a UCI license, but want to complete your membership registration right away, then please pay for the $39 general membership insurance now with your registration. For this current situation where the general membership insurance is the only option, OCA has told us that they will make a credit or refund arrangement to handle any insurance overlap if you buy a UCI license later.

Indoor practices for those with 2013 memberships will start this Thursday evening, January 31, at 6:00 pm at Delki Dozzi Hall.

A completed membership registration, including insurance payment, will be required to participate.
