If you are riding a mountain bike and don't have slicks yet, I have a spare set of 26 x 1.95" (I just switched to a thinner tire). If you are struggling, the price is free, otherwise, the price is a six pack of Traditional. Search "tioga" on kijiji for pics and my contact info.

I'm a beginner rider - I started training in March. I've been going to the gym and I go riding 3 times a week including some rides with groups. I too, bit off more than I can possibly chew because this is tough - lots of time, effort and money is going into this. I want to be able to complete this ride success...

Well, after a stressful week at work and a bunch of frustrations with bureaucracy, I needed a good ride. Perhaps it was my "psycho" traits coming through, but I hopped on the bike tonight and went for a little ride. It was 8pm, the temp was 9oC and it was blowing and raining...so what do I...

This is my first long distance ride. I think I'm doing Ok. I am not on a team but thinking about it. I feel l need to raise my amount to ride first. I think that not wanting to join a team is because this is my first ride and I would not want to slow anyone down. I know there must be other's like me out there. This r...

I have to catch a flight out of Calgary on the evening of the 28th and need to get back to the city as early as possible. I am a fairly strong rider and plan to hit the road as early as possible on Sunday morning. Does anybody have a ride arranged for around 3:00PM? I can contribute gas money.

Hey all, I just got back from driving the route and checking out the Deerfoot Inn. They have no available rooms for Friday, but the Service Inn Suites just north (1/2 block) has 9 rooms left. If you are thinking about booking a room for Friday don't wait or you will have to travel farther to get a room.
