TPR #2 - NEW TIME - 6:30am - McGill vs UdeM - 23 Sept 2014

McGill vs UdeM!

6:30 start!

The plan is to meet at the hairpin turn at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at 6:30am (Here). Post if you plan to leave from the Roddick Gates at 6:05am. We race THREE rounds of TWO laps. We will regroup after every round but TPR is a fast ride where we don’t wait for dropped riders until we regroup. Future racers are strongly encouraged to participate. We usually end in time to get back for 8:35am classes. If you are worried you might get dropped come along a see how long you can hold on for. There will surely be other people to ride with no matter what!

Points are collected as follows:

1pt for the team that takes intermediate sprint on lap 1
3pts for the team of the first women that takes the finish line on lap 1, 2pts for 2nd place, 1pts for 3rd
5pts for the final sprint at the end of lap 2
2pt for second place at the end of lap 2, 1pts for 3rd
for a total of 15pts each round and 45pts available throughout the 3 rounds

Just a few important notes:

–SIGN UP

–BE ON TIME

–NO SWIRLING THROUGH THE BARRIERS

Hope to see a great turnout and meet some future McGill racers!

how do people feel about a 6:30am start instead of 6:45am for future weeks?

6:30 is better

I second 6:30. Also, change it to UdeM + Alumni :slight_smile:

Watch out, Mat just finished the Gran Fondo of the Parc de la Mauricie 3 minutes ahead of Hugo Houle, 5th overall!

6:30 is much better! :slight_smile:

And… Ouch for the women’s sprint :frowning:

Is anyone else leaving from Roddick Gates?

is it 6:30 at the hairpin??

this week we will start at 6:45am but in future weeks we will get things started at 6:30am so that everyone can get to work and early classes.

why not start right away with the early time? That way everybody can make it this week too!

yay Dom!

fine 6:30am it is. Also just to remind people the deadline to pay membership fees before the price goes up $20 is coming fast.

can i pay by cheque to McGill cycling team?

YAY for the NEW TIME! :slight_smile:

and … BOOOOO for the lack of women on the UdeM team!

Valina, yea a check to ‘McGill Cycling’ is good.

For anyone who wants to leave from the gates, I’ll swing by at 6:05, but I won’t wait around. Is there anyone who doesn’t know their way to the track and would want me to wait?

I think I fall under “other” this week

Sarah, I will also be at Roddick gates at 6:05 so if you would wait that would be awesome

sorry, bailing today, cold rain.
