Thursday Anticipation: Special Monday Edition

Lots going on this week. Some of it can't wait until Thursday to be announced. So here's a special edition of our weekly announcements series.

1) Bike Shorts: Bike to the Future presents the first (and hopefully annual) bicycle film festival. What a great idea! It's this Tuesday. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that this be the starting point for this week's Tuesday Night Ride. There should even be plenty of time to ride between the end of the screening and the commencement of the weekly gathering at the clubhouse.


2) Hot on the heels of the film festival is the MCA Forum. For those who have understandably given up on the MCA website, you will have missed the announcement. So I'll repost it here. Here's your chance to share some of the wisdom gleaned from our carefully nuanced discussion of the state of racing in MB during the summer. It would probably be good to have one or two folks from the FGBC represent'n. President?

Wednesday October 22nd 7 pm : Strategic Plan Forum

The Board of Directors of the Manitoba Cycling Association has recently embarked on creating a four year strategic plan. As part of the process the MCA invited members to send us their vision for the future. A draft plan identifying the priorities and goals through to 2012 has been developed. The MCA would like to invite the membership to join us and review the work that has been done to date. The MCA will host an open forum on Wednesday October 22nd from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Sport Manitoba building 200 Main Street. Refreshments will be served.

Free underground parking for cars and bicycles is available.

3) Last but certainly not least, Psychocross is coming up. The 6th annual. It's the day after Menno Cross. So we have another two race weekend. As all weekends should be. Maybe even the marshmallow man--or whatever Tomek was supposed to be last year--will make another appearance.

I vote for the Film Festival for the TNR, and then maybe a cruise out to Little Mountain Park to reconnoiter a possible future throwdown cross race course afterwards.
