And That's a Wrap!
Thank you for great summer. What a ride!

There is an AED and First Aid Kit in the Doctrine Van.
We'll split up into groups of no more than 10.
Post-Ride, we have some beverages in a cooler if you would like to stick around :)
Cabin Brewing has been our beer of choice over the last several weeks and we've enjoyed sampling most of their creations!
Starting on Wednesday June 2th 2021 at 6:20pm, and ensuring to be in accordance with the City of Calgary and the AHS' guidelines, our club members are invited to come on a fully supported and coached weekly ride! All abilities of cyclists, from completely new to very experienced are welcome and encouraged to come. The Doctrine's coaches will ensure each cyclist will end up in the appropriate group and be lead through a fun ride at the appropriate pace. Guaranteed, there will be a group that is your speed and ability! The goal of these rides is to get our members out for an active, social evening enjoying the roads and pathways throughout, and just outside, of Calgary. Every ride will end with us possibly convening in a local pub to continue to connect and network if it is permitted under the AHS guidelines.
Every Wednesday starting June 2 2021 at 6:20pm
Block your calendars!
Meeting location and route will be announced several days prior to each Wed.
Hanging out on a patio or in a pub post-ride will be a must once it's allowed!
Five years ago we started these Outdoor Coached Rides and had a lot of fun. They are organized, high-quality, social, and tons of fun! Our vision is to provide cyclists with a place to meet and enjoy their hobby with friends while progressing their skills and becoming better cyclists. We have an enviable coaching crew that will deliver outdoor expertise to all abilities.
Once registered, Wednesday night Doctrine cyclists will enjoy a consistent day and time to simply show up with their bike and ride. The goal will be to split up into ability groups and work on aspects of cycling that is relevant to that group while keeping it social. Skills, group riding etiquette, gearing, and pacing will be bundled in with getting in a challenging training session (if desired) and some good social fun that is between 1.5 to 2 hours.
NOTE: For those RIDING TO THE RIDE, if permitted by AHS, I will have a bike trailer parked in front of our meeting place for you to place your bike in while you are inside the pub. So no need to pack locks or place bikes in patio of pub.
See you on June 2nd or the first club ride you can make!
Because of the variable nature of our weather, your coaches will always be at the ride start location at the correct time. We will make a call at 6:30pm. Too many times in the past, we've missed out on a great ride because the forecast had predicted incorrectly! We ride in light to moderate rain, but not lightening or hail.
Your experienced team of Doctrine Coaches.
