Winter 2012
It is January, 2012 and most of Ellevation is taking a hiatus from the road and is more likely to be found on the cross-country trails of one of BC's fine nordic facilities. Cross country skiing is a great way to get outside and stay in shape over the winter. Actually, get in better shape because nothing whips you into shape like skate skiing. Unless it is skate skiing while towing a Chariot which is Sarah's plan for getting back into shape!. No date has been set for when club rides will resume in the spring.
Spring Training - Monday nights
The Ellevation club will be hosting 4 Monday night coached sessions starting March 21 (6:30-8). If you’re available on Monday nights, please join us! These are not ‘learn to’ sessions but directed more to getting out and doing some training with club members while getting some reminders and tips to carry through into the spring season. Rachel Canning will be working with us for these 4 sessions.
The sessions will be outdoors, on the west side of Vancouver (UBC to Queen E). The cost for Ellevation Club members is $20 (ie $5 per session). Non club members are also welcome at $35 (all must have Cycling BC insurance). The sessions should be a lot of fun! If you’re interested, send an email to

Nanaimo Team Time Trial
June 13
It was raining in Nanaimo on Sunday morning but we took a chance that it would clear up and it turned into another sunny day for the Masters team time trial event in Nanaimo. Three women’s teams participated (up from only one team last year) and the two teams from Victoria posted excellent times. We were slightly (ahem) behind but managed to improve our last year’s time and take second place under the age based time calculations. Thanks Helen for all your work at the front! <pictures>
Oliver Half Iron Triathlon
June 7, 2010
Congratulations to Rachel, Helen, and Karen for their great finishes at the Oliver Half Iron Triathlon this weekend! All three Ellevation members posted great times for the 2km swim, 93km bike, and 21.1km run, finishing well into the top half of all women and in their respective age categories. Helen came 7th in her age category and it was her first ever Half Iron event! More of a race report to come when these impressive athletes have had a few days recovery and a chance to enjoy the sun (and wine!) of the Okanagan. <picture>
