Bikeology Festival & Bike Month

I have been away from the blog for a few weeks, so here I am....

The Battle River Cycling Club is now officially a month old now. The membership is slowly growing and we are looking to develop in to the recreational and family oriented club that would be of interest in the local community. There are a few intrepid members that are also going to dabble into races, but mostly for fun. Speaking of bicycle culture, June is Bike Month in Alberta, and to celebrate Edmonton has the Bikeology Festival. If in Edmonton during any of the events, I recommend checking them out.

In honour of Bike Month, the local base gym is also putting on a contest for cycling into work. Any locals in Wainwright who work on base can check out the info at the gym.

In honour of Bike Month, I think I will plan something for the BRCC - more on that soon bike fans.

On a different train of thought, with the US Federal investigation in to the old US Postal Team and doping is on-going, allegations against Lance Armstrong from Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, and the media, I will be blogging a series of posts that will be some what serious and maybe even dip into the personal over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for those, but I will probably blog other news and opinions as the next few months of bike racing and riding rolls along.
