Welland Club Race

Devin — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:43:36 +0000

Hi Everyone

TrYForce is looking for as many members to come out to the Welland Race and participate. This race is spread out over 2 days with events ranging from Try a Tri, to a Half IM (there is also an aqua/bike and duathlon). Now is the time to register!!!

For the past few years we have put together a strong showing of TrYForce members and represented the Niagara Region well. So, if you are looking for a great race where you will have lots of support, Welland is your race.

As a club, we will be there to support you. After the day of racing we will set up the tent and provide snacks to go along with the great BBQ that MSC provides (not to mention the chocolate milk). We will make sure you are taken care of…

Finally, we will also be supporting MSC (Got Milk Series) by providing our support at one of the aid stations on the run course for the Half IM on the Sunday. We are looking for volunteers. I will be looking for volunteers for either a 9-1 shift, or 1-5 (or both). In the past years we have been able to provide this support and I know it is such a great way to support your fellow members of the club not to mention a big help to the MSC people.

Please email me if you would like to volunteer. As well, please let me know if you will be racing this year in any of the events over the weekend in Welland.

Thanks again

Devin

Cancelled Workouts

Devin — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:00:18 +0000

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to let you know the protocol for when and if we have to cancel any of our workouts due to bad weather or other circumstances.

If the weather is not looking great, 1 hour before the scheduled workout (Sunday rides will be posted at 6:00am for all levels) we will post if it is cancelled. If you do not get an email or see a post on the website, the workout is still on. My suggestion is to check the website or your emails before workouts just to make sure.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
