During a special evening held on Thursday evening, 38 municipal organization nominated there respective volunteer of the year.

For the Centre, we are very happy to be able to count, and not only for this year, on the great work and support of Mariette Roussel!

During the past years, Mariette followed closely the development and progression of her son, Julien, within the world of cycling. Always with a desire to help out, she got involved more and more with the National Cycling Centre. Last year only, she took care of the registrations of the weekly Mike’s Bike Shop Cups. She was also the imitator of a huge fundraiser campaign to help our young cyclists participate in the many events a cycling season can include. She was also present to help out on the road during a trip to Bromont, Quebec, for the National Track Championships.

For this year, the tasks keep on adding for our great volunteer as she will be an important part of the 2012 National Track Championships organizing committee.

During this special evening, Mariette received a commemorative pin from the City’s deputy mayor, Paul Savoie, along with a certificate from the province of New Brunswick.

Here’s this weekend’s schedule for the camp. Sorry for the last minute, my time in Europe simply did not allow me to produce it any faster. As mentioned in the invitation, Sunday’s ride is optional as (1) it looks like the weather will not be cooperating, and (2), it’s the Wolfeville/Roubaix ride. Please, let me know who’s planning on attending or not, so we can plan ahead (if we have the numbers).

Don’t forget to pre-register as we don’t have too many who did so already.

I also understand some of you only want to participate in Saturday’s track session. Let me know about that as well.

Hope to see many of you on the weekend!

Well, spring is upon us, and it's time to deliver the traditional Atlantic Spring Camp. Sorry for the late publication, but here it is.

The official schedule will be published very shortly (and could be modified with the weather), but the camp will start on Friday evening with some information session. Saturday will include a lot of technical riding, and if Mother Nature approve, much of it will be on the brand new renovated Caisse populaire Dieppe / Memramcook Velodrome.

Sunday will include the traditional Fundy Park ride. I understand this colides with the Wolfeville-Roubaix ride this spring, so if riders want to head to NS, the schedule will allow for that.

On line registrations are now open.
