This week's Newsletter
contains important information. Please
read it in its entirety.
If
you're still unaware of our mandatory safety
requirements by now, this is the time to visit our
safety webpage.
I am very concerned that our records show that nearly
70 riders of those requiring training are yet to sign
up for an on-bike safety class. If you're one of those
70, please enroll in one of the two remaining classes
offered by Team Shell. Alternatively, you may enroll
in a class offered by the MS Society, local Bike Shop,
or another MS150 team. Visit the team
safety webpage for
more details and for instructions on how to let us
know once you've completed a non-Shell class.
I
cannot stress strongly enough the importance of
compliance, driven by our genuine concern for your
safety as well as the safety of the 13,000 riders who
will be around you during the MS150. Please take
personal responsibility and help us avoid having to
resort to extreme measures, such as those recently
adopted by other MS150 teams.
If
you're uncertain about your current safety standing,
be on the look for a separate e-mail from me in the
next couple of days to let you know where you stand.

CP
Training Series |
|
This weekend's CP
training ride has been changed to start from Sun & Ski
at Katy Mills, at 7.30am, due to construction work
around Royal Highschool. The weather forecast
looks great
- approx 60F at the start and warming up into the mid
70's by late morning. Don't overdress - I would not go
for anything more than shorts and
short sleeve jersey.
Always check the
official CP website
for directions and
up
to the minute updates about
this series. |
