Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone is welcome to join the club- non McGill students, community members, professors. The only restriction is in the team since we race in a collegiate conference; we cannot be including non McGill students, but other students are welcome to talk with us about transportation and riding independently/under your own university if racing is your passion.

The team has two parts which have different fees.

The first, less competitive aspect is the Club, with a $40 fee, that rides, trains, cross trains, and gets the jersey at team price. It’s still the same riding opportunities, just no racing pressure.

Second is the Team, a $90 fee. All the riding and training is done with the club, but there is also access to all trips (like the Vermonster!), travel, races, and sponsor discounts.

The best way to pay a team fee is to come on a ride and give the cash or cheque (made out to ‘McGill Cycling’) to an exec member. Announce on the ride post that you haven’t paid yet and make sure someone can pick it up. Next best way is at one of Adam’s workouts at the gym. Finally there will be times on campus when we will be available to meet new members to collect

Riding
As soon as the snow melts and until it snows again, we ride outdoors. Training is broken down into three groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced. There are many scheduled rides during the week each with a certain purpose. These will be added on the calendar at the beginning of each season. There are also many unscheduled rides announced on the forum.

Spinning
During the off-season, we spin bi-weekly. The spinning schedule can be found in the calendar.

Cross training
There are weekly plyometric training sessions in the gym. Also, many members cross-country ski during the winter. Any form of group training is encouraged. These impromptu sessions can be announced on the forum. Anything meeting with sufficient enthusiasm can be added to the schedule.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

• Men: If you are between 19 and 29, unless you know what you are getting into, and you have raced before, you should be getting a senior 3 licence.
• Women: I believe there is only one pack, but I am not too sure of the divisions.

The Senior 1-2 peloton rides together and corresponds to roughly top Men's B in the ECCC and Men's A.
The Senior 3 peloton regroups all other riders, which still makes it quite fast, and means that the packs can be quite large. They usually also ride with the juniors.
