spring classics

April 14, 2026

Over the winter Edmonton opened a new velodrome and I have been taking advantage of my Velocity club membership to ride it weekly. It’s great having an indoor place to get together with other cyclists and go fast with no brakes. I haven’t crashed yet.

And though it’s fun to keep riding and keep the legs working², I’m much happier to be out riding on the road again. Our club did a warmup 70km ride to kick off the outdoor season on Saturday, and I feel like I should have gone with the fast group. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not actually fast, but maybe it’d be good to push myself a bit more.
