The Sprockids 2014 edition is off to a great start. We have 66 Sprockids registered for the Spring program after the first 14 days of registrations.
We will be opening the program up to a wider audience in the coming week, so if you are a returning Sprockid, please get your registration in early.

Every 18 months or so, Juventus Cycling Club provides volunteers to assist with 2 days of casino. The funds then allotted to Juventus enable us to have coaches, buy equipment, run youth cycling programs, support our clubhouse, support athletes and much more. All for 2 days of volunteer time spread among our membership. What an excellent return on time invested.
Please find a description of the Sprockids program on the Programs menu bar.
It has been a long winter with dedicated cyclists putting in miles to nowhere. Can you believe the warm weather is finally doing its job and we are nearly into the outdoor season?! It is true and that means you have just enough time to tune up your bike and prepare for . . . the spring series (it starts on April 27th) . . . BLTM . . . trail rides . . . and all your heart's delights.
Thanks to John for making the time change on Sunday a little easier with a delish carrot cake and another really tasty cake made with dates and almonds etc. ( We need the recipe for this one! And even Pepper can enjoy it!)
2013 Fitness Tax Credit receipts have been emailed to LAMP, Sprockid, and Junior members that were born in 1997 or later. Please contact the Juventus Membership Coordinator if you did not receive an expected credit.
Well, apparently when the weather gets extremely cold, Juventus feels the need to get on that ride going nowhere. The wind chill took temps outside somewhere south of -40C/F, but inside rollers and trainers were humming. We had the CT room at capacity and a full contingent of 20+ enjoying a Sunday morning rollerfestivus. Hang in there - supposedly the weather is about to warm up and +1C will feel tropical. Next weekend the clocks go ahead and the temp will increase. Get ready for clear roads and a visible blue line!

The Juventus LAMP is now full. Our popular program for young cyclists looks forward to great success in 2014. Please remember to register early in 2015 if you have missed out this year.
We have at least two juniors, Evan Burtnik and Anna Talman, in the process of preparing for the Junior Track Pan Am Trials to be held in Los Angeles on April 5th and 6th. Cycling Canada's Time Standards for this event are very challenging and motivating; keep up the great work Juniors!
The latest edition of Canadian Cycling Magazine highlights some of what our club is all about. The article is on page 27. I wish I could just put up the article here, but for now there is the online edition or the news stand copy. Keep your eye on the bulletin board because it may show up there.
If you are considering riding with LAMP this year . . . the countdown is on! You had better decide soon or you may be sad. Register now.

Mason Burtnik, Sean Germaine, and Connor Wilson recently competed in the World Junior/U23 CX Championships in Hoogerheide, Netherlands. Be sure to ask them all about the experience and congratulate them for giving the competition their very best efforts. Well done Juventus!
Hey Juniors, make sure to let Ken know if you will be going to spring break camp. Details are on your news page.
So, most of you probably know this already, but . . . I have finally figured out that for the best in taste and texture, you should add fresh greens at the end of cooking. For example if I am making a pasta topping or maybe an egg thing, I get my greens ready to go and about 30 seconds before I take topping or thing off the stove, I fold in the greens. Delightful! And so much more pleasant to look at when served.
The popularity of LAMP continues. Check out the LAMP page to find out what it is all about.
There are excellent reasons for this. Be riding at 9 and find out. (Don't get your hopes up because there isn't any ice cream or anything like that)
James continues to monitor his email, adjust his order forms, and ensure Juventus gets what the club needs. What do you think that should be ? Let him know.
