Newbie Night 2012
There was standing room only for our 2012 Newbie Night Clinic at our club sponsor Endurosport. Attending were a great mix of members and guests with plans to race this season. Information was provided about training and racing including swim (Maria), bike (Ted), run (Roger) and nutrition (Tara). A lively question period followed the presentation. Many of those present took advantage of the additional discounts offered by Endurosport for our club clinics. Following the clinic there was a pub social. Many thanks to Endurosport, the presenters and our attendees for an excellent and informative evening.
Tour de Toronto 2012
25 members and two guests participated in the 2012 Tour de Toronto club ride on Saturday, April 21. The cool temperatures and winds encouraged us to keep moving as much as the diverse group of riders could manage. New friendships were formed and old friendship renewed as we wound our way up the Don Valley trail, across Mt Pleasant Cemetery, pausing for a visit to  Absolute Endurance, then across to Endurosport for another brief stop (and some snack purchases) to return along Laird and back south in the park.
The faster riders saw this as their opportunity to unleash their speedy bikes, while the slower riders continued at a more modest pace.
The obligatory flat tire stop maintained a yearly tradition, supporting the advice to bring tire repair kits. Nicole did an excellent job keeping the back of the pack caught up with the front of the pack. Many of the experienced riders helped keep the middle of the pack on route. Your trip leader found himself at the front, middle and back as circumstances warranted. The cheerful chatting during the ride could be heard over the wind and traffic, confirming another successful Tour de Toronto. (by Ted Rosen)

Unveiling our New Club Wear!
Due to the strong growth of the club and the celebration of the club’s 5th anniversary, the board has reevaluated many of its polices, which included the team’s club wear. A new design was necessary as some of the club sponsors had changed. The board felt that it was a great opportunity to have a new, fresh design while increasing the gear selection for the members so that we could all wear our colours with pride at events or in training.
