Congratulations to Carolyn Soules: who just returned from a fine performance at the UCI Masters World Championships in Austria. Carolyn was 8th (Women’s 45-49) in the Time Trial with a new personal best time for the distance and went with all the moves in the Road Race, stayed up in the sprint and crossed the line in 10th on the same time. Trophies are given to top twenty places and one of the highlights was receiving her TT trophy from legend Francesco Moser.




Masters Provincial Championship Road Race: Sunday Sept 7th. This is being hosted by Crankmasters at Crossfield. Technical Guide is now available from link on left. Registration is now open. Click on Karelo link on left to register. Please note that the race will be run in 10-year age categories not in 5-year categories as initially planned.

OTHER NEWS

Club Rides, Membership and Insurance:  Please note that you MUST be a club member or an ABA member to participate in a Crankmasters ride or race. This includes our Saturday and Sunday club rides and is for insurance reasons. We have been advised that insurance is void for ALL participants on the ride/race if a non-member is allowed to participate hence we must enforce this rule. See the Club Info page to renew your membership or to join Crankmasters. Don’t forget to sign up for your volunteer commitment on the Volunteering page.
We have 2 levels of club memberships this year:
The Primary level, 1^st claim, is the standard membership that includes the ABA 2008 insurance dues. This level of club membership allows the rider to participate in all CCCC rides and races.
The Secondary level, 2^nd claim, is for riders that belong to another club and have paid the 2008 ABA insurance dues through their ABA affiliated club. This level of club membership allows the rider to participate in all CCCC rides and races. Please ensure you indicate your affiliated club name on the membership form as this will be checked. The volunteer deposit is not required for secondary members this year but we do strongly encourage you to volunteer your time to help. This may be reviewed for next year.
