SUMMARY:QBC Level 2: Gatineau Park Trail 5 climb
DESCRIPTION:Meet: 6:45PM / Ride: 7:00PM \n\n\n\nSW corner of St. Luke’s Park (Elgin and Gladstone) \n\n\n\nEvery other Wednesday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew this year to QBC Ottawa\, we’re adding Level 2 Rides: longer and faster rides with minimal breaks. These rides are more focused on building fitness and endurance\, with a social time after the ride for those who’d like to join. Routes are longer and marginally more challenging and\, aside from a quick regroup after any particularly challenging segments\, will not have breaks. If you’re consistently averaging more than 20 km/h\, these rides could be a good fit for you. \n\n\n\nWe’re aiming for a steady 25 km/h on the roads\, with an overall ride speed average of a little over 20 km/h. Routes will vary from about 20km to 40km in length. We’re planning a mix of terrain (paths\, roads\, gravel). Routes will repeat throughout the season. In the event that you can’t hold the pace\, catch up when you get a second wind or self-drop and join us at the finish or another time.

SUMMARY:Bike Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Hey folks! Come on out and join us for our first ever bike scavenger hunt! And bring your friends! This event is ally friendly and kid friendly (as long as kids under 18 are supervised by an adult). We will meet at the Naval Reserve Monument at Dow’s Lake at 6pm. \n\n\n\n❓What will this event look like? Teams (Minimum of 3 people\, maximum of 7) will be given a series of clues and challenges to do within a 1.5 hour time frame. Each team to finish and get to the mystery end point gets entered to win a prize! \n\n\n\n❓What if I don’t have a team? Show up a few minutes early\, organizers will try and help you join another team! \n\n\n\n❓Is this an intense scavenger hunt? No! It is meant to be a challenge but is meant to be fun\, and maybe a little competitive. 1.5 hours maximum to complete. Those who complete all the clues get entered into a draw to win a prize for their team. \n\n\n\nAs with all QBC events\, you must fill out a waiver to participate (link in instagram bio).

SUMMARY:Beach Skills & Drills: Serve/Defense
DESCRIPTION:Ready to take your beach volleyball skills to the next level? Join us for our Beach Skills and Drills Program led by James Battiston\, former professional volleyball player and member of the Canadian Beach National Team. James has coached for several years with the Mavericks Volleyball Club as well as 15+ years at Madawaska Volleyball Camp.   \n\n\n\nWhether you’re new to beach volleyball or a seasoned player\, we have something for you!  Join us at the RA Centre on Saturday mornings where James will bring his expert guidance to teach you fundamentals or take you to the next level with specific skills.  \n\n\n\nThis session will include work on techniques for service\, blocking and defense in 2-on-2 beach volleyball. We will work on reading the first two contacts of an opponent to better set up a defense to counterattack. For this session\, participants are expected to have basic ball control (being able to forearm or hand pass a ball to a target) to allow for meaningful rallies.
