Thanks to the many people that make an event with this many participants function. Rider coaches: Ed Makarchuk, Gary Hirsh, Phil Moore, Steve Hamilton, Aubrey Bryce and Peter McCaffery. Thanks to Midweek's Craig Fagan for setting up the course and various behind the scenes efforts and coach Otakar Dolezel for being on hand for consultations and to Oakville Cyclepath's Phil Moore for two prime prizes (1 season of spinning class + 15% off accessories).

Come out to the Hershey Criterium on Wednesday.
The Midweek Cycling Club Tuesday Time Trial start time has been moved to 7pm, effective this week, in order to accommodate those who have to fight the traffic. Registration is Alloa School on Mayfield road, just east of Mississauga Road. Come out and try this course - it's FAST!
Effective immediately, the Midweek Cycling Club Inc. has terminated its relationship with the Vaughan Cycling Club.
Over the past three months, it has become clear that certain obligations on the part of Vaughan Cycling Club owed to the Midweek Club and the Midweek Men.s team have not been met.
The Midweek Cycling Club's activities will not be adversely affected and our club will continue to run its comprehensive racing and women's development programmes and the four weekday race series.
Midweek will also organize the twenty-fifth annual CHIN Picnic Criterium with a new and exciting format and, in addition, will run an expanded Corso Italia Grand Prix weekend.
It is unfortunate that the proposed amalgamation with Vaughan C. C. was not workable and we wish the Woodbridge-based club every success in the future.

Creditview-King Side Rd.- McLaughlin - May 10, 2005
The third event in the current series attracted six riders. We have not seen the success of the Scarborough Thursday TT yet but this will come. Although the field was small, a couple of quite fast out-of-towners showed up and posted fairly respectable times. If they hadn't done 100km motor pacing in the morning they would have done significantly better. One of Ital Pasta's latest recruits also rode and didn't do too badly either

OCA Citizen permits will no longer be sold by the club. They are will be available from the OCA office.
Good weather and the later start brought out a good sized field. Coach Bruce Krip worked with riders new to racing on basic skills. As usual we were able to start a handicap group, women's group and scratch group. Reminder: Please keep the finish area clear after you have finished and other riders are still on course.

Thirty-seven riders (including 11 women) took the start today under in cold and windy conditions for the second event in the Vaughan-Midweek Monday Night Learn-to-Race Series. As usual three groups were formed; for novice riders, women and intermediate level riders. Newcomers to road racing were able to practice pack riding, cornering and echelon skills in the wind while intermediate riders worked on tactics and fitness. So far in the first two weeks of the series 75 riders have taken part. Reminder: Next week's event starts at 7:00 pm. In subsequent weeks registration will be limited to the first 60 riders.

Jeremy Rethazy took third in the field sprint, and fourth place in the race. Cadet rider Ricardo Perea took second in what is his hometown race. In the Master B race Tony Abramavicius riding in the colours of team sponsor WP Stucco took third in the B/C/D race, while teamate Phil Vermette took 7th and Peter Hein placed 15th overall as the only Master D rider on the day. Junior rider Darren English rode strongly in the combined Sr.3/junior pack but was not aware the juniors were finishing one lap before the Sr.3 and missed the finale of the junior event.
