Scheduling Note

We know the CTTC overlaps with the Pan-Mass Challenge this year – not ideal timing! Unfortunately, local venue availability and logistics made this unavoidable. We know it's a big weekend for cycling, but we wanted to make sure we could still offer our awesome event this season. For those who can join us, we're looking forward to a great ride!
