Trent Time Trial(submitted by Todd Hellinga)

On Saturday March 21, Trent University in Peterborough Ontario will be holding the final event in the Ontario Inter-University Triathalon Association (OITA) series. This event will be a sprint triathalon. While the triathalon itself will only be open to university students, the Trent University Triathalon Club will also be hosting a 5km fun run and also, of particular interest to you cyclists, a 16km time trial. The cost of the events will be $15 each and will include food and entry into the many draw prizes! The time trial, or the run for that matter, would be an excellent way to put your early season training to the test! So come on out and enjoy a great day of racing! Come out and cheer on the triatheletes and then compete in one of the other events! For more information please feel free to contact Gerald McKinley at gmckinley@trentu.ca, he will be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have! Hope to see you there!

National Calendar Changes courtesy Lisa Davey

Two things which have changed on the national calendar.  The first is that after some feedback the UCI has decided to move the date the Track World Cup again.  It is scheduled for May 28th-30th.  The second change is in regards to contact information for the "Tour de White Rock".  The e-mail address for that event is clarkson@intergate.bc.ca.
