Some of the course maps on the Locations and Courses page were marked as private or friends only.
I have made them all accessible to everyone.
These are useful resources if you need to know where we meet for a TT or details of the course.
Please, if you hit a bad link or land on a page you don’t have access to, let me know. webmaster@owensoundcycling.ca
The OCA has approved all of our paperwork. The registration page at CCNBikes has been set up. In three to five business days it should go live.
The first TT is at Shallow Lake on May 18th!
You’ll no longer have to email the webmaster or race director to ask where we meet for a time trial. The race results database already had the potential to hold that information. Now, driven by that database, it’s visible here.
The TT Results now show position within age category.
I have specified age categories in 10 year increments: 20-29, 30-39…70-79. These can easily be changed or extended. Please let me know if there’s a convention for the younger riders.
I took birth dates from this year’s CCNBikes’ registrations and attempted to match names on the results database. Some failed (Jenn vs Jennifer, Alan vs Woody, etc.). But if you registered this year and if you have ever competed, you should get an age category position.
If your birthday isn’t on the database or if your age on race day falls outside of the above range I show {M|F}_Open.
Over time I’ll take registrations from other years to add more birth dates.
The weekly emails announcing the Tuesday rides are now only going out to those who specified interest in the Women’s Rides.

If you are receiving them and don’t wish to, use the update subscription preferences link which is in the footer of every club email. Un-check “Women’s Rides” under the list of interests.
I have added logic to check for a seasonal best time on the TT results page.
First I check if the race time is the fastest ever (or equal fastest), and that the rider has more than one result on that course. Then I display “PB.”
Then, if not a PB, I check if the race time is the fastest in the calendar year when the race was run (or equal fastest) , and that the rider has more than one result in that time. This assumes our season is a calendar year. Then I display “SB.”
Of course a PB trumps an SB so I will never display both.
I’ve also laid the ground work for age divisions, but for that to work I need to enter everyone’s DoB. Over the years we have collected results for 366 riders (and teams). So I might only enter DoB for this year’s members (and future years as new members are entered) . I’ll probably have an “Open” division for those who don’t have a DoB on file.
The 2018 Season Opener newsletter is now on line, accessible from the archives page or here.
At the recent executive meeting I was asked to make the font of this website larger.
I’ve done that. It should be larger (relatively) on all devices.
If that’s not enough, get new glasses or, on a phone or tablet, you can always use the “pinch open” gesture to make everything bigger.
We are switching to a new and better mailing program.
All who were members last year and those on Joanne’s women’s list have been subscribed to the new list.
We have linked CCNBikes to the new service. As members register on CCNBikes, they are automatically subscribed. Some of you already have, and it is retroactive.
We want to take the opportunity to house clean, but don’t want to lose anyone. To ensure we didn’t miss you or to adjust your preferences please enter your email address in the Subscribe form on this site. If you are already subscribed to the new list, you will receive a link where you can adjust your preferences. Otherwise, of course, you will be subscribed. You can also sign up from our Facebook page.
We have set up a group for Joanne’s women’s rides and placed all female members on it. (If a couple shares the same email address and both are members, that email address will be on the list.)
We are also experimenting with a group for Time Trial results and might send weekly results only to that group. That would allow those of you not interested to opt out.
