Olympia Cycling Club Informational Dinner: (submitted by Colin Antaya)



I won't be attending cause I am a celiac and do not belong to the Olympia Cycling Club, however it might be interesting. I don't know if you have to be a part of the Olympia Cycling Club but it does say something to that effect and it is not hosted with other shops.

Also looks like there is another women's group in the works, wonder if their women mechanic is hosting that idea or maybe this is just divide an conquer technique between all the shops? Who knows. Guess the only way to find out is for you to go.

When: Thursday, February 26 at 6 pm

Where: Deluca’s, 950 Portage Avenue

Free Lunch? Well, not really. You are, however, invited to a pasta dinner at Deluca’s Fine Foods, hosted by the Olympia Cycling Club.

The Olympia Cycling Club puts on mountain bike races, the Wednesday night series at Bur Oak, as well as endurance events like Reach the Beach and the infamous Red Ass 300.

The purpose of the dinner is to enjoy an evening with as many cyclists as possible, and to expand the scope of the Olympia Cycling Club. Although you could just have dinner and leave, we hope that you will stay a while and give us your input on a couple of things we’ve been talking about. Some of these are:

. Bike racing - planning events, high performance training, travel for racing
. Riding for fun and fitness (events and activities other than traditional racing)
. Olympia Feminin - the cycling group for women
. Bikes as transportation - cycling advocacy & community development
. Starting a Kids of Mud group for west Winnipeg

And did I mention that you will get to rub shoulders with cycling legends like Scot (one T) Miller and former Olympian and senior bike courier Lindsay Gauld?

As for rubbing shoulders with Scot and Lindsay...well when you have your own boyfriend in a bag, would you want any more?
