A local photographer captured Wheelers in motion on the first day of Spring.  Judith Gustafsson’s pictures made it to the Ottawa Citizen’s online picture gallery.

Also of interest, three Wheelers drove down to South Carolina to put a few miles in their legs before the start of the local spring classics.

Wheeler member Sarah Kirby moved away to Winnipeg last year (2009). In this photo she is 6 months pregnant riding rollers. She will be competing in the next round of roller races in Winnipeg later this spring (2010) and she hopes to send a photo of that as well. Making history, no matter how you slice it!

Any raffles prizes that club members can gather up will be greatly appreciated and if everyone brought out one friend then we are guaranteed a jam packed night.
