Looking to organize a weekend MTB ride,  we can meet for breakfast and then head out on a longer ride.  For example Tatachapapika road is a great ride or Kettle lakes.  Just give me an email with some ideas and we can plan a group ride.

Just had a call from Ron Lapointe, organizer of the triathlon, tells me swimmers and runners are looking for people to bike with them.  Interested in making a composite team just contact Ron Lapointe through the Heart of Gold Triathlon web page and he can hook you up for this weekend.

Timmins Cycling club members showed extremely well last weekend in North Bay for the July 3rd North Bay triathlon.  Devin Wittig left most competitors in the dust with a second place finish overall of the 128 participants.  Devin completed the 1 km swim, 32.2 km bike and 8.4 km run in a time of 1:45:59.  Training and hard work paid off for James Watt of the club with a first place finish in his age category completing the race in a time of 2 hrs and 28 seconds.  Julie Gagnon of Timmins walked away with a first place also for her age category  posting a 2:05:51 finish time.  Laurie Bezzubetz of Timmins passed the finish line with a time of 2:15:59 which was good enough for second place in her age category.  The weather was great but a little hot during the run and the course was well prepared and technically challenging.  Overall a great race had by all who participated.
