BK Memorial Cyclocross Race

Give yourself a Brian Kullman-style hug if you helped out at our race last Sunday.

Big-up to Keith Bayly for laying tread on this one. A lesser man wouldn't have lasted the rejection from the various bureaucracies involved in organizing the race.

We had perfect weather and a delightfully patient crew of volunteers. Thanks to those of you who arrived early and pitched in throughout the day.

We also had over 90 racers in attendance at the site for the four categories that raced throughout the day. Fantastic!

I know a few of you sat around during the race wondering what you could do... until the races were over! The clean-up and course tear-down is always the most crucial part of this event. We wanted to make a good impression by collecting garbage afterward so we can use the venue in the future. Special thanks go to Keith's wife for going that extra kilometre (literally) in cleaning up the school yard.

We'll aim to do this race next year.

Thanks all!

PS: Stay tuned for an AGM notice to be released next
week. We're lookin' at late October/early November.

Synergy Training Program at Peak Power

I'd like to continue the relationship between Synergy and Peak Power by offering testing and training at a reduced price for all Synergy members.

Testing package: includes anthropometry, body composition, VO2max (and development of training zones), and the development of a Critical Power curve (over : $275 (retest available for $225).

Training package: includes resistance training program specializing in strength
and power development and an 8 month membership at Peak Power. I have also set
aside three sessions a week (Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:00pm, and Saturdays at 11:00am for a small group training session). The regular price for an 8 month membership with coaching and program design is $1000, but since I am doing the program design on my own time and most of the instruction myself, (world renowned Olympic lifting coach Henrik Grigorian will also be available on Tuesday and Thursday evenings) I can offer Synergists a cost of $500. This is a fantastic training opportunity especially aimed at Track and Crit specific athletes at a very low cost.

Testing and Training Package would be $500 + $275 = $775 for all 8 months.

I am hoping to start the resistance training on first or second week of October,
but will wait to see how many people I have interested. The testing can be done
anytime. Please contact me via phone 210-4098 or by e-mail: ryan@sportdevelopment.com if you are interested in joining me.

Thanks,
Ryan
