BC Ride to Conquer Cancer - Post Ride Report

June 19/20 - ALC  members put the rubber to the road for an inspiring cause - the second annual BC Ride to Conquer Cancer.  Both Charlotte and Meredith raised the $2500 minimum to participate in the 2-day road cycling event from Vancouver to Seattle; along with Meredith Wilson, Sharon Spinder from Active Life Physiotherapy was also out on the ride! - all were raising funds to support the BC Cancer Agency in their effort to find a cure.

Highlights of the ~250km ride from Vancouver to Seattle:

• - Wicked jersey and bib short tans from Day 1
• - 2 free beers in camp post-ride
• - Limited sleep due to epic snorers overnight at camp
• - Hypothermic shivers and blue lips from Day 2
• - Meredith wrangled her way into riding with some N.Van District Firefighters - yeeeha!
• - Mandatory Espresso stop for Charlotte and her Seaspan work team...

A couple of pics from Charlotte - Merideth and Sharon were to fast too catch on camera...

Approximately $9 million dollars was raised this weekend

 - Great Job to all R2CC riders!

ALC Trail Run - Tuesday, June 15 - 6pm

On Tuesday we will be running on Fromme Mtn - meet at 6pm at the second overflow parking lot on the way into Lynn Headwaters - very top of Lynn Valley Road.  Drive into the Park and go past the first parking lot (do not go to the end parking lot where the bridge is), then park at the second lot.

Run route will be up the staircase on the BP trail and over to Mtn. Hwy for an exploratory loop & back.  Likely 1hr.  See you then!  Charlotte

Armstrong Century - Race/Ride Report

Great riding at the Okanagan Shuswap Century Ride this past weekend.  I rode on Sunday with 400+ other riders on a great 100K route starting in Armstrong BC.  Although it was a training ride, there was definitely a race-like feel to the event and it was excellent to work on group cycling skills as the 'second group' peleton ripped along Silver Creek Valley toward Salmon Arm.  I finished in just over 3hr20 minutes for a 100K, not bad for a first Century. Check out some photos HERE!

See you out on the trails... and roads - Charlotte

PS - don't forget this week is Bike to Work Week in Vancouver right now - get out on two wheels!
