EVENT DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Cycling Canada’s Weekly Tune-up Ride – Women’s Edition!
Every Tuesday at 7:05pm CST, Cycling Canada will host a weekly group ride, open to women of all skill levels and abilities on rotating courses. Course offerings will vary from week to week in an effort
to provide a well-rounded mix of training opportunities for Zwifters of all backgrounds. Looking to improve your climbing? sprinting? endurance? All of the above? Look no further.
The weekly tune-up will be a medium-paced social ride, led by some of Canada’s top female coaches and athletes. Zwifters can expect a fun, interactive community atmosphere with regular efforts
to build fitness. The ride will incorporate intermittent interval work above and below the advertized power range, but rest assured there will be dedicated time for recovery/regroup
following each effort.

The weekly fundo will be marked as a “ride”, but Zwifters can expect some action at the front, not unlike an in-person fondo.
Join the ride at your own pace to reach your weekly distance target, or challenge fellow Zwifters to race with some higher pace off the front.

REGISTRATION CLOSES JUNE 8 AT 10 PM.
REGISTER HERE
Grab a friend and your bike, let’s go get ice cream!
The Manitoba Cycling Association is pleased to host another year of Tour de Glace, the ice cream bike tour. Registration includes a guided group ride with 2- or 3-stop options to some excellent local ice cream shops for a treat. This event is open to all, you do not need to be a member of the Manitoba Cycling Association. Families and youth are welcome to join!
The ride begins in the green space in front of the Lyric Theatre at Assiniboine Park at 2:00 pm. Please arrive at 1:45 pm to check in and meet your ride leader. The ride will finish up at Assiniboine Park by 4:00 pm. Giveaways will be drawn at the end of the ride.
2023 Tour de Glace ice cream shops include:

Nucci’s Gelati (643 Corydon Ave)
Sargent Sundae (2053 Portage Ave)
Teeyah’s Candy, Soda and Ice Cream (#104-240 Graham Ave)

The 3-stop group will have an average pace of 15-20 km/hour over the course of about 21 km. Ice cream stops include Nucci’s Gelati, Sargent Sundae and Teeyah’s. Participants may choose any flavour at Nucci’s and Teeyah’s, and have the option between a Grabber or a Whatchamacallit from Sargent Sundae. The 3-stop ride is $12.00 plus tax + processing fees.
The 2-stop group will have an average pace of 10-15 km/hour over the course of about 16 km. The 2-stop group is open to all youth under 18 who are able to maintain the group average pace. Ice cream stops include Nucci’s and Sargent Sundae. Participants may choose any flavour at Nucci’s and will have the option between a Grabber or a Whatchamacallit from Sargent Sundae. The 2-stop ride is $8.00 plus tax + processing fees.
Participant discretion is advised: This tour is packed with dairy and possibly nut-containing calories. Unfortunately we cannot offer allergen-friendly alternatives. If you wish to participate without actually eating at each stop, or wish to register with a friend, there is a registration option for $0 tag-alongs (plus $3.50 non-member fee, if applicable). All riders must register for insurance purposes, however, if young children are in a bucket seat or carrier they are not required to register unless they want their own ice cream at each stop.
Please note that all riders who are not members of the Manitoba Cycling Association will be required to pay a $3.50 fee as part of registration. If you would prefer to become a member for the 2023 season, take a look at the MCA Membership Page and reach out to Twila if you have any questions. To be crystal clear: if you are particiapating as a $0 tag-along but you are not a member of the MCA, you will still need to pay the $3.50 insurance fee. If you have a child in a carrier, they do not need to pay the $3.50 fee. All “butts on bikes” need insurance coverage to participate.
There will be no refunds for this event. If weather is poor, you are welcome to drive to each stop to pick up your ice cream. Email CyclingForAll.MB@gmail.com for event inquires or to volunteer.
