April...waiting...

April waiting time...snow melting...frost leaving the ground...mud & mush to drying up...so while waiting to ride...

Zach held a party at the Trek Aurora store to get us all revved up and signed up for the King Weekly race series which runs Wednesday nights at the King trails (Centennial Park) from May until end of August.  It's a really fun series - friendly people, fun riding & this series is the one that got me hooked back into riding!      (visit www.racekingcity.ca for details)

Then there was another party...this time the Trek Women wine & cheese held at the Barrie store!  Meeting lot of new people plus barely recognizing others well known (helmets would have helped!)...this party made me even more excited about the Trek Women events!  I figure if we can have fun just standing around imagine how much fun we will have on our bikes!  Ya hoo!

Then off to Hardwood for 2 days at the NCCP instructors course.  Very cool learning how to teach riders all the important cycling skills. Also really interesting to learn different ways of teaching the same skill.  I think my own riding improved just taking this course!  Especially wheel lifts...I think we must have done 500 million of them!

And then to finish off the month...finally some FANTASTIC weather for the first O-Cup!  (and a respectable 6th place finish...with a bonus goal accomplished...I did not get lapped by Barry Near & he's pretty fast!)
