Saturday MAY 2

It's already May!!....Do you remember riding dEVa rides in the cold and wet???!! Remember doing pace lines drills? This Saturday we are going to revisit pace lines, it's been a while since we've worked on them as a team. 9:00am at Calhouns.

Wednesday Night Riding/ Upcoming World TN Champs!

Hey dEVas et. al.

So despite our pitiful turnout (Lisa and Liisa and Adam) we managed to have a blast out on Iona! You all missed out on a super fun ride. Just a reminder to all of you that the Tuesday Nighters are just around the corner - time to start working on the SUFFERING!!

Details to follow - Hooray for race season!

Wednesday Ride

I hope you guys have great ride tonight, I will be MIA today. I crashed with my road bike yesterday... skid sideways, as I had to maneuver a fast sharp turn on gravel. Going to the Chiro right now, because something is just not right...

ride out to race the ridge

Ok, so it looks like Saturday it is. If anyone want to ride out to the race and back for a good 100k ride then let meet up on sat morn!

The race start around noon

9:00am - Cat 3 Men (7 laps / 70km)
9:05am - Cat 4/5 Men (5 laps / 50km)
11:20am - Cat 1/2 Men (10 laps / 100km)
11:25pm - Cat 1/2 Women (7 laps / 70km)
11:30am - Cat 3/4 Women (4 laps / 40km) *** NEW TIME ***

and it's just around 50k out there, it took me by myself riding to zero ave 2hrs so I figure if we meet at 930 at Our Town Cafe on the corner of Kingsway and Broadway that should be loads of time to arrive around noonish, watch some racing for an hour and eat some sandwiches, rest, chat, and ride back?

There are also small cafes in Maple Ridge where we can stop for sandwiches if people don't want to bring them.

feel free to email me at liisai@telus.net if u have any questions!

Saturday April 18th

Saturday looks like its going to be another sunny ride for the dEVas. There are two rides this week.

The first ride will be our scheduled training session (9am @ Calhouns) of cornering and sprinting all in one. I know some were disappointed that they missed the previous sessions so i am repeating them again. I will pick a nice quiet area so we won't be disturbed by cars.

The second ride will be the 200km randonneurs ride leaving from Steveston at 7am. It will be a beautiful day and a nice way of putting in a lot of kms all at once. Check out www.randonneurs.bc.ca or email Anita for more info.

Happy Birthday Lisa!!

It's true. April 14th.
Don't forget to wish her a belated birthday on Wednesday!!

Wednesday April 15

dEVa ride on Wednesday, leaving from La Bicicletta at 6pm. It's going to be sunny, and both Claire and Lisa will be there to lead the ride wherever the consensus takes it.

See you tomorrow.

Stage Race This Easter Weekend

Devo Spring Classic Stage Race is this weekend and there are categories for everyone.
This is a great way to experience all types of racing. Saturday is the criterium in the morning and a Time Trial (12km) in the afternoon, and Sunday is the road race course along Zero avenue along the US boarder.

I would suggest trying all three. There is no need to own aerobars or any fancy aero equipment, so don't be afraid of doing the time trial.

In the crit we have a large number of riders, especially in the novice category, so it would be a great opportunity to try some team tactics and see if we can place someone on the podium.

Good Luck!!

Wednesday Rides

Hello all dEVas and non dEVas!

Just a quick note to let you all know that our Wednesday rides are OPEN TO ALL WOMEN! Wouldn't it be lovely to have a city-wide women's ride that rivals men's group rides? Well it is here.

6pm La Bicicletta Wednesdays.

See you there (I won't be here this week but after that yes!)
Lisa :)
