Hello all,

The 2019 Tour de France is fast approaching and Team TechyKids Cycling (race team for a number of BCC club members) is pleased to present a fantasy cycling league. No better way to…

Hey everyone! I posted this elsewhere but not sure where it went. Just wanted to thank the Saturday AM group for being so welcoming and encouraging! I look forward to see you all next time: ) Until then, I'll be practicing changing gears so I can keep up easier! Bon weekend!

Hello fellow BCC'ers,

You might have heard the World's biggest bike festival comes to Blue Mountain July 4-7th - they are btw taking their beer VERY serious and have a massive Expo with food-trucks and craft-beers :) 

As we are a OCA bike-club, the organizers offer 15% discount on all registrations for the many events (Road, MTB and Gravel) - use the code: 'OCA' at www.seaottercanada.com

Dear fellow BCCers,

I have had some requests for stories about some of my longer rides this summer.

Here is my account of the 600km ride I did in late July with the Randonneurs Ontario. It is called The March to the Nuke. Please follow the link to Wordpress where my blog is hosted. Enjoy.

WANT TO RIDE TO BUFFALO NEXT WEDNESDAY WITH KELD?

Next week I'm among 12 riders who will embark on an epic 5 day, 800km ride journey from Toronto to New York City on Sept. 26th in support of Camp Ooch.



With the R2//NYC SEND-OFF FONDO we have created an opportunity for those of you who could not join us on the entire 5-day journey, to still take part, joining us on the first leg of the ride; 162km from Toronto to Buffalo, NY.



Registration for the R2//NYC…

Want to try riding a fixie but don't have the prerequisite hipster beard?

Tired of shifting gears as you grind up hills?

Want an excuse to get on a bike even when it's -20 degrees outside but don't have polar bear…

Dear BCC friends,

As most of you know, my road back from a potentially fatal cycling accident 3 years ago has been a long one. I know all too well how life can change in an instant and how important it is to try and live a ‘normal’ life as you stare down medical challenges.

To help push my progress along and make a difference for other’s along the way, I’m committing myself to a 5 day (avg. 157km/day) inaugural cycling fundraiser from Toronto to…

Hey everybody.  I did it!  I made it to the end of this crazy race and covered the 169 km and nearly 4000 meters of vertical gain.  It wasn't pretty, I was slow, it took me over 10 hours, but I made it!  What an event.  The organization is very impressive.  The start was not as tight as I expected.  Close to 1000 riders per wave,  fifteen waves.  It has to be well run if you…

Not a racer - doesn't matter.  Don't own a TT bike, the newest aero helmet, nor crazy expensive ZIPP disc wheels - doesn't matter.  You already a racer - then you've probably already signed up so I'm not likely talking to you (what, you haven't - get on that!).

The organizer of the Individual Time Trial provincials made this event as open as possible.  There are all the typical racer categories (Masters age based, or Elite) as well as a non-UCI TT categories (30 or 40km) and an…

Hello All,

A warm welcome to all the new BCC Members and welcome back to all the returning BCC'ers. 

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the 2018 Season to get started I know I am!.

For those returning BCC'ers if you could take a moment to share some of your memorable experiences as a member off the BCC, just so some of the new members and potential members can get a flavour of what to expect in the Spring.  

Once again…

I wanted to do a quick summary of my first road season now, as it is clear that I won’t be able to attend either of the Kitchener crits or Bike the Bruce.  Too bad as I was really hoping I could swing both of the criteriums, but such is life.

My main goal of this write-up is to encourage anyone who’s considered racing in the past to seriously consider coming out to a race or two (or four, or five…) next year to give it a go, and which races you might want to consider to start off…

It was a dark and stormy Thursday morning when a van pulled up in front of my house, two guys jumped out, grabbed my bike and luggage and suddenly I was seated in the back seat of the van, my bike on the roof and I was taken to a local coffee shop, the Birchcliff, where we met up with some others with bike mounted on the roof or in the back seat of vehicles. This looked ominous, until I realized it was fellow members of the Beaches Cycling Club and my imagination was…
