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.

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.

An experienced coach can motivate you, help you and make you fulfill your full potential. As in other parts of one's life, the more you feel you are progressing, the more you will have fun on the bike (and the more results you will put up for the team :))

Categories:

• 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.
