Hello, parents, youth, and juniors!
This was posted on Slack, but I know many of you have a hard time keeping up with Slack. Please let me know by any means available if you are interested in any of the next two activities:
Cyclocross + Road Practice
We're trying to get cyclocross practice going for the 2026 season. William Guilbert has volunteered to lead. Historically, we've had lots of juniors join these practices. I encourage that and I'm also thinking of ways that we can do road practice at the same time as a possible alternative for those who don't like cross.
So far, location looks like Vets Park, day of the week will be Wedesday at 6 PM.
William's practice plan is a little different from what we did in 2025. There will be more emphasis on skills, and there won't be hot laps/fast riding. I think that will suit the younger cyclocross better.

Watermoo Lead-Out
It is time again for the Watermoo lead-out on Saturday, August 8, at 7:11 AM, from Jolly Pumpkin Kitchen in Dexter.
The plan is to lead out the group for the first 1.4 miles at around 15mph. After the second roundabout and when you get onto Shield Rd, peel off to the side of the road so the peloton can pass and start racing.
After the last racer passes we’ll head to Dexter Bakery for donuts and beverages compliments of the race.
This is the planned 12-mile route https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47900074. (We will probably have to tweak that route this year because of Dexter's downtown roadworks, but this is the general idea.)
