Wednesday Night Series
What is WNS?
C4 Wednesday Night Series: A weekly series of 15 events hosted by The Calgary Crankmasters.
These races are at various locations and consist of different events that are both challenging and fun for all riders. This includes road races, time trials, hill climbs, criteriums, team races, sprints, etc. This is where you can learn some strategies, and gain club points towards category cash prizes at the end of the year.
Primary members of Crankmasters already include WNS racing. For those of you that belong to other Alberta Bicycle Association sanctioned cycling clubs, you will need to sign up as a secondary member of Crankmasters, which costs only $30 and allows you to attend our group rides as well.
The races start the first week of May and run for 15 consecutive weeks. You sign up for the series and come whenever you can. Open our club calendar to see the events.
