The Ontario Ride to Conquer Cancer

Hi Aly.

I'm a team captain and I've got a team of seven riders (myself included) mostly based in east side of Toronto. I'd be interested in taking on another team member if you're still looking.

As for outdoor training rides, the area east of 404 / north of major mac is teeming with riders on the weekends in the spring / summer. For the past two years in the Ride, I've been parking my car at Elgin Mills / 404 and riding up Warden. Every time I go I see dozens of riders, and occassionally one of the organized training Ride events.

Incidentally, if you've got good cardio / core conditioning then the best thing you can do for yourself is get time in the saddle. Indoor rollers are cheap and help with balance on the bike. I've heard spin classes are great as well, but personally I can't stand them.

Let me know if you're interested in our team!

Cheers!

Hey guys I live in the McCowan Major Mac area and looking for riders to train with for the R2CC 2011 event. If you are looking for anymore riders I'd be happy to join you. I use to ride long rides but two years ago I was hit and almost kill by a car while riding. After 2 yrs of rehab and getting back on my bikes I am ready to get involved in longer rides. Last year the longest was 80km but my speed and endurance is coming back. I ride a Cervelo S2 and Cannondale CAAD9 all with dura ace.

Let me know. Thanks

Practise on a colleague or friend. Think about who your audience is and what you want them to get out of an effective presentation. Think about content and style. If you video yourself get someone else to evaluate your performance and highlight your best skills; you will find it very difficult to be objective about those skills yourself. Prepare, prepare, prepare.
