Tripleshot Cycling

Hi Rolf. My understanding is that HopOn pays for itself because it has dedicated grants that Cycling BC applies for to fund it. I also believe that—but it’s probably best to check with the Cycling BC office about this—HopOn riders pay for a “mini-membership” that insures them for the length of the H...

There's a $5000 bid in on Sarah's bike. Proceeds go to the Tripleshot Youth Team. Don't miss your chance to win this cool frame and a bit of Canadian/Tripleshot sport history.

Hey Roland, In what follows, I’m not speaking for the Cycling BC (CBC) Board. But since I’m on the CBC board now, I can give you my thoughts on some your (and probably others’) concerns. I would encourage everyone to attend the information session on Tuesday and bring your questions. The increase is...

Given the recent video on Spond of people sliding all over the place in last year's CrossFondo, I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts on good tires to run on my CX bike. I can go up to about a 43. I've definitely suffered from the Gravel Kings-On-Slippery-Stuff problem in past editions of the Cross F...

Thanks for the votes! Now you know who to complain to.

Wondering what Tripleshot founder, Peter Lawless, has been up to lately? https://twitter.com/prlawless1/status/1499732120977162246 https://invictusgamesfoundation.org/canada-wins-2025-bid-for-invictus-games-in-vancouver-and-whistler/ And of course, the bids for major events aren't stopping with Invi...

I always remember advice John once gave for those who feel too out of shape to race in April (which is pretty much all of us). "Race into shape!" he said. Seriously, the weather looks great on Wednesday. Kick start your summer season by showing up. And you'll be doing the older Youth Team ...

Congrats!

Update: Pre-orders have been sent in already. So probably best to wait until the regular order, which should open within a few days.

For those not on Spond, there's an announcement there about an orange jersey designed by Tripleshot member, Carey Newman. There's also info about the Tripleshot Ride2Remember on September 30 (National Day of Truth and Reconciliation). If you can't access Spond, you can get a rough sense of the art: ...

Did you know that a classic French pastry is named after that famous French bike race? The pastry is even shaped like a bicycle wheel: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2021/04/paris-brest-pate-a-choux-with-praline-creme-mousseline.html The next time we're allowed to have a Christmas Party (follow...

Because of covid we can't do the big gathering in a pub to hand out kit. So this will be like the last 2 orders (Spring and Fall 2020) where we each paid our individual shipping.

Happy Birthday Mark! You were one of the first Tripleshotters I rode with. I look forward to many more rides.

During this "single-file" phase of return-to-sport, if you ever find a group of 10 to be too ungainly, simply split it in 2 and put several car lengths in between the groups to allow safe passing. While 10 is the max group size, there's no rule against splitting into 2 groups of 5.

I'm looking to get one of Cycling BC's trophies back to them. If you're heading to the velodrome, or anywhere else in the vicinity of Burnaby, can you let me know?

Thanks!
Martin

Looks like this plan passed today: https://gvcc.bc.ca/support-a-lit-separa ... -lochside/

More lighting and some more separated pedestrian/cycling sections.

I've always wanted to tinker with wiring. This sounds like the perfect opportunity to do it on someone else's house!
