winterwheel Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The plan is to meet again and Wednesday and then on Sunday if the weather holds, which it looks like it will. Wednesday we will meet at Ritchie at 5:30. @Resinears if your wheel is back together and you can make it out we'll pick a road course that is manageable for everyone. (We had a pretty challenging ride last Sunday. The Sunday plan is TBD. We will iron out the details for the Sunday ride on Wednesday.

Resinears Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 My wheel is back together, but I won't be able to make it on Wednesday night. Thanks for the offer of taking an easier route for my benefit, but I have some stuff I have to get done. Looks like Sunday will be a no-go for me too, as I have kid's soccer commitments. I do try to get a few blocks in here and there, just to get time on the feet/wheel. I hope to join you guys for some kind of ride before the season turns ugly...

winterwheel Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 That's too bad. If you like you can let us know if there is a better window for you next week, I don't think any of us are locked in to the Wednesday/Sunday times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resinears Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks, will do. Now that indoor soccer is going, my son has games on Sundays, which I like to attend. This Sunday's game is in the early afternoon, but sometimes they are done in the morning. I'll be good for riding on milder winter days (when road conditions permit). I'll have to see about next Wednesday, but generally speaking for weekdays, by the time I'm home from work and get something to eat, it's probably too late for an organized evening ride for me.

If Saturdays would be better, we could maybe move the occasional Sunday over to Saturday? I was already thinking for next year maybe we should alternate weekend days.

winterwheel Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Our tour last night took up over the Edmonton Brewery District, where we took a tour of a wonderful, huge underground parkade that might be nice to visit again once the snow and ice start to come down. It was as nice a night for touring the town on a wheel as you're ever going to see in mid-late October. Next up, Sunday we'll be meeting again. Depending on who shows we'll either do a gentle tour of the easy roads around Ritchie, or we may do some mild trail rides in Mill Creek Ravine.

winterwheel Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Here's a quick-n-dirty video of part of the ride from yesterday. I posted it also in the video thread, but I'm not sure all yegfolk are watching that so I am putting it here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 So any thoughts on tomorrow? High of 9 which isn't too bad, but being halloween its kind of a wild card. I'm good either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Not having heard anything I've tentatively agreed to go to a Halloween thing (invite came in this afternoon). I'll check here one more time around 4:30 before I go over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmkingsong Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hey winterwheel sorry didn't get back to you at Halloween way too busy Sunday rides look like it's not going to be good calling for snow and rain and still a lot of snow on the roads maybe if we meet at that Parkade that Edmwheel showed us Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 No worries, I've been swamped this week, wouldn't mind catching up on a few things tomorrow, including shopping for some winter wheel boots. Good for the following week though, that would be Sunday Nov 11. I'd suggest bringing it back to 10a to ensure that we are in before it starts to get busy in there.

winterwheel Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Next meetup is at 10:00am Sunday Nov 18 at the Brewery District. It is a beautiful clean space there with lots of room for speed runs, practicing bumps, training new skills (riding backwards etc). We had a good long look at the space last weekend and it really seems ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I've put together some new promotional cards for people to take a look at this weekend, I think they turned out pretty well, I'll be interested to see what everyone thinks. Also three of the original videos that went missing, from the early days in the rink, have been re-added to the yegwheel YouTube page.

Resinears Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Brewery District on Sunday? Where do you enter (guessing/hoping you are talking about underground?). Not sure about the boy's soccer schedule on Saturday, but if I can, I'd love to come down and at least ride a bit. Haven't been on the wheel for a long time...

Edmkingsong Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) What time are you thinking of meeting out in the brewery District on Sunday 🤗 Edited November 17, 2018 by Edmkingsong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 We'll be there at 10am, there are several entrances to the parkade, if you just go in and park you'll either see other people rolling around or you're the first one there.

winterwheel Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Our next winter training session for those who don't check the other site will be at 6pm on Tuesday (not Wednesday... most of the guys couldn't make it that day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hey all, I'm back from Canmore adventure, and thinking maybe we should have a meetup on Sunday. We've been going at 10 but I thought I'd see if there is interest in going later in the day, around 4:30, the thought being that the parkade space will have less people monitoring it at that time. Let me know what you think. I'll be checking out some possible fallback locations this week as well, for those times when we have issues in the primary location.

winterwheel Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Planning for the next meetup to be Sunday March 24th. I'm hoping we can do it at the Ritchie location, depending on whether the ice has melted off by then. If not, Brewery district. There might be some people interested in testing out wheels so I'm hoping Ritchie works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwheel Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) The yegwheel group is having its next meetup is on Sunday, May 19th, 11am, Ritchie arena. We're hoping to go as close to every Sunday as possible through the summer and fall. For those of you haven't been out to one of these yet, or haven't been for a while, we'd love to see you out. We have lots of different wheels to try out, some obstacles and cones and whatnot to practice with at the arena, and we do a ride around the city afterward.
