LAMP Kids Riding in Circles
Our LAMP kids were at the Alberta Research Park course this past Tuesday for a night of training in the fine art of Criterium racing. The group learned how to hold a line, sprint out of corners, and hammer the backstretch.
And they ran a few 2-lap and 5-lap races for good measure. An awesome evening with the next generation of Cat 1 racers!

We're looking for an army of volunteers to help clean up the trails, repair erosion/re-contour and remove deadfall. If you're interested in maintaining the trails you love to ride, we'd love to see you out on June 9th. No experience necessary -- Harvey and Garry from EMBA will be present to offer instruction.
WHEN: June 9th (Monday) at 6:15pm
WHERE: Mill Creek Pool large parking lot
BRING: Weather appropriate clothing & footwear, water

Devon Grand Prix Volunteers
Juventus members
Some of you have indicated on your membership form that you are able to volunteer for the Devon Grand Prix on June 22, 2014. First, a big thanks in advance for signing up. These events are a lot of work for all involved and without your volunteer commitment we wouldn't be able to run such events. Second, we really need you to fill out the Doodle poll I sent out yesterday. You can chose between marshalling or driving. Finally, those who didn't indicate their wish to volunteer for this event can still do so. You can contact myself or Bruce Copeland.
Thanks

Evan Burtnik selected to Jr. World's Team!
Congratulations to Juventus rider Evan Burtnik, who has been selected to the Junior National Track Team going to Seoul, South Korea in August. Evan has worked extremely hard to make this happen. Well done!
Here are the details from the announcement:
CANADA TO SEND FIVE RIDERS TO UCI TRACK JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Small Canadian team to focus on Men’s Team Pursuit and Men Omnium
(Ottawa, ON – June 10, 2014) Cycling Canada is pleased to announce its selections for the 2014 UCI Track Junior World Championships, scheduled to take place in Seoul, South Korea, from August 8 to 12 2014.
The main objective of the Junior World Track Championships is to provide a developmental opportunity to a competitive group of identified Canadian track cyclists. The Canadian group has the potential to finish with a Top 8 performance in the Team Pursuit.
As a feeder into the Elite Track Program, these World Championships are a crucial step in an athletes’ developmental pathway. In 2014, the primary focus remains tightly aligned with those of the Elite Track Program, which in this case will be the Team Pursuit and Omnium: the two track endurance presented at the Olympic Games.

Juventus cycles
Wow, so riding happening all over the place. At the Organ Grinder some great team riding by the McGill girls under the hilariously named "Dad made us do it" team. Then a close top 10 men's placing for "Almost Legal" Sean Germaine. More team work by Adam and Micheal, the Staffords son and pop team "new and used" as well as Ken and Sam.
Juniors and some Masters are busy training, racing and getting ready for ITT's and the Junior Road Championships in Quebec at the beginning of July. Recently, Anna and Evan got in some great training and racing on some very hilly terrain with a Canada development camp in the eastern US.
U23's are preparing for Elite Road Nationals with those races in Lac Megantic the end of June.
Track action continues weekly with both training and Track League!, opportunistic 10 milers and events like the intense 150 held on Sunday morning. Now that was hot! (not talking about the weather here).
The masters are out riding the majority of evenings and weekend mornings - doing hill repeats, or intervals, or long rides, or TT work and in spite of the weather will not be deterred. With Pigeon Lake cancelled, it will be fun to see how everyone performs at the next race, as most are ready to test fitness levels.
LAMP and Sprockids are everywhere. It is fantastic to see their bike handling skills improving and to watch how fast they are.
Keep riding Juventus!
Sprockids and LAMP Kids Take Over Hinton!

Some of the kids arriving in Hinton on June 1st, 2014
Juventus Sprockids and Devon BEARS. Great friends riding together.
The crew from Edmonton and Devon quickly saturated almost every area of the park with kids and bikes.
