Oh Alberta spring weather

April weather can be hit or miss, unfortunately we are on the mis side lately.

Speed Theory's Prairie Roubaix race was cancelled April 17th due to cold and snow. I was in a bike course with their Prez Trevor on Saturday when he made the call to cancel. Unfortunate as they have pre paid for porta potties, ambulance etc with no refund. That is the gamble of hosting an event in April, last year mid teens where two years ago a TT at Race City Speedway was cancelled due to snow..

Was looking forward to the race for the 2.75 hrs of time in the legs and general more road racing experience and that we would have had 6 RMCC guys at the start line, would have been a riot!

Was on trainer last Thursday and Sunday nights with varying interval lengths and cadence to keep the legs firing. Unreal how long a 1 minute intervals seem some times, look down at watch and still 30 secs to go.

Supposed to have our first club Hammernight this Thursday, hopefully the forecasted +1 and snow will change.

Need a trip to Arizona or Maui to ride, jealous of all the fellow RMCC members down there currently  :)
