A message from race directors John and Tim

Hi All,

Hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year.    Now is it time to start thinking about bike racing J.

We have had a lot going on behind the scenes at P2A that we wanted to share it with you.

Big news is that we are now on the UCI gravel calendar!   This is a series of races around the world with opportunities to qualify for the World Championships in Nice in October!  This is a logical extension for P2A – since hosting the Nationals a couple of years ago, we have been looking for whats next – so now we are going from National to International.  The UCI event allows riders who finish in the top 25% of their age group (5 year brackets) to qualify to represent Canada at the World Gravel Championships in Nice, France.  Nice huh?

At the same time we want to keep the grassroots feel of the event, which has always been Ontario focused – to help with this we are introducing the Creemore Team Corral – we will be offering team tents to all teams registered with Ontario Cycling.  This will be a licensed area sponsored by Creemore.

While the UCI designation is bringing some changes to the Cento, the Classic and Breve remain the same.  The majority of the categories for the UCI event will start in Paris in three separate starts.  This year after consulting with past P2A athletes, pros, and other cycling officials, P2A will be a wave start with elite men and women separated by 5 minutes, followed by age groupers.    While we have had separate starts in the past, this will be the first time in 30 editions that we have the opportunity to have the pro women start separately from the elite men.  Until now the womens race was impacted by the mens race in a way that was sometimes intimidating for female athletes and certainly created a different style of race.

The classic start will be as in the past with Elite, UCI and VIP starting in the first wave.   UCI categories for men over 65 and women over 50 will participate in the Classic event.   The classic will once again start at the Waynco Quarry, just south of Cambridge.

As in past years the Breve will start at St. George arena.

This is the 30th edition of P2A so as a part of our celebration we wanted to share some of the history of this unique event.   Observant riders may have noticed there are 12 “named” sections on the course – we are going to share the origins of the names – some true, likely some fabricated….

Today section, the Nixon-McIntyre rail line is the off road section between Howell Rd. and Hwy 5.  At one point it was an active rail line – we descend the remnants of the bridge that use to go over Hwy 5 (wish it still existed!).  When the rail line closed down, the local residents were given the option to buy sections on their properties – the Nixon and McIntyre families own this section, and it has been on the race course since day one.  In fact we are now dealing with the third generation of Nixons – who have been in the area even longer than that.  Some of you may have noticed that section of Hwy 5 is called “Nixon’s Way:”

 True story.

– John and Tim

Team,

I have an important update to share today. Earlier this morning we shared with our Experiences team that after a thorough review and careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to exit the Experiences business altogether, effective this week.

The reality is a thriving co-op requires a sustainable economic model that is capable of investing at the appropriate level to fully fund our most critical strategic ambitions. While we are still in the process of finalizing 2024 results, our preliminary financials indicate we will be close to breakeven for both Pre-Dividend Operating Income (PDOI) and Free Cash Flow (FCF).

This is a significant improvement over 2023, driven by our intentional focus on increasing full-price sales mix and gross margin, effectively managing inventory to improve in-stocks and inventory turns and carefully managing costs to optimize our spending. I greatly appreciate the work by teams across the co-op to deliver these improvements in 2024, which is a positive step in our journey to return to a healthy economic model. At the same time, we still have more work to do to return the co-op to sustainable, profitable growth, which brings me back to today’s decision.

First, I want to acknowledge and extend my gratitude to the Experiences team for all they have done and accomplished over the 40 years of its existence. You have done what has been asked of you, you have worked extremely hard, you have brilliantly educated and created wonderful experiences for nearly one million people over those years. Perhaps most importantly, I want you to know from me that you have done nothing wrong when it comes to the choice I am sharing today.

Second, it is important we all understand the economics of the Experiences business. Experiences served 40,000 customers in 2024—less than 0.4% of all co-op customers—and costs significantly more to run than it brings in. When we look at the all-up costs of running this business, including costs like marketing and technology, we are losing millions of dollars every year and subsidizing Experiences with profits from other parts of the business. Even at our peak in 2019—our best year for Experiences ever—we did not generate a profit.

Third, we have gone through many iterations and explored multiple options to keep this business up and running and to preserve jobs. We’ve held out as long as possible, but the fact remains that Experiences is an unprofitable business for the co-op, and we must adjust course. Every path to profitability we explored would have required us to invest more time, effort and focus away from parts of the business that reach significantly more customers, drive more positive financial outcomes, and have greater impact on our mission to get people outside.

Commitment to Our People

While this is the right decision for the future of our business, it will have a significant impact on people. Specifically, the 180 full-time employees and 248 part-time guides in our Experiences division whose jobs will be eliminated as we close this business.

We have some of the best Experiences guides and staff in the business and are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.

• Every full-time employee whose job is eliminated will continue to receive their regular salary through March 9, 2025, and remain active on benefits through the end of March. They will also be eligible to receive separation benefits including severance, healthcare coverage continuation via COBRA, and outplacement service support.

• Shared employees (employees who split time between Experiences and Stores) will have a conversation with their store manager later today to learn what options exist for each employee to continue employment in a store capacity based on their employment status and ability to meet the necessary availability standards.

• Part-time employees will remain benefits-eligible through January 2025 and will also be eligible for a severance payment.

• All impacted employees will receive a Summit payout for 2024, depending on actual co-op performance vs. plan and remain eligible for future roles at the co-op.

Commitment to our Customers and Partners

This week we will also begin updating customers and partners. Customers currently booked on trips and day programs will receive a full refund of all costs paid to REI and we will work to address any associated non-refundable expenses as appropriate.

We know this decision will also significantly impact many of the travel partners that we work with across the U.S. We will begin informing partners this week and will work with them to terminate our existing contracts.

Focusing on the Core

• Given the current business landscape and our strategic priorities, we must invest selectively, focusing our efforts in the areas that align most closely with our long-term commercial goals and set us up to deliver on our mission and purpose for another 86 years.

• We continue to believe there is a role for REI in outdoor education and expertise. However, we need to re-examine and rework how we deliver classes and education to ensure they’re relevant to our customers, aligned to our mission and financially viable. We are funding a small team to innovate and test in this area in 2025. We also continue to believe in the importance of local community-building. We will continue to invest in local marketing and customer engagement, and the local marketing team will move back into the marketing organization to unify similar bodies of customer-facing work.

• Our goal must always be the long-term financial health of the co-op, and while today’s decision is a difficult one, it is necessary. Reinvesting our resources into these core areas will enable us to drive healthy, profitable growth for the co-op in the future.

Specifically, we will be focusing our resources in areas such as:

• Driving growth in our priority activities (Camp and Backpack, Run, and Hike and Outside Life) in service of our core customers and best members.

• Investing in tools to help us more effectively manage inventory, which will improve sales, profitability and liquidity by driving improvements in in-stocks, locally relevant assortments and inventory flow.

• Continuing to enhance the customer experience online and in stores with investments in areas including personalization and visual merchandising.

Our roots are in the gear and apparel we sell and the outdoor moments they enable. This has been the core of our business for 86 years—and I believe when we stay focused on what we do best, we can and will succeed.

As a cooperative, we are organized to drive a healthy, profitable business that allows us to serve our members, our employees and society, and fully fund commitments like the annual Member Reward, employee profit-sharing and support for nonprofits. We’ll share more about our long-term plan to do so next month.

I know that this is difficult news. The next few weeks will continue to be tough as we unwind an iconic part of our business and say goodbye to colleagues. Teams whose work is impacted should work with their leaders to understand what comes next. Today should be about processing this news and caring for impacted colleagues.

Please continue to take care of yourselves and each other.

The U.S. Bicycle Route System is a developing national network of officially designated, numbered, and signed routes that use existing roads, trails, and other facilities appropriate for bike travel. It will eventually encompass 50,000 miles of routes and open new opportunities for cross-country travel, regional touring, and commuting by bike. It also benefits communities by providing new bicycle routes, enhancing safety, and increasing tourism and economic activity. 

The newest routes are USBR 37 in Indiana, USBR 51 in Missouri, and two routes in Kansas: USBR 50 and USBR 55. The 2024 year added 3,568 miles to the system, when the routes added in spring are taken into account. This is the most of any year and brings the total milage to 23,186. 

“State DOTs are focused on delivering a safe, multimodal transportation system that offers mobility for all,” said Jim Tymon, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. “Our partnership with the Adventure Cycling Association to continually expand the U.S Bicycle Route System is just one of the many ways states are meeting that goal. The four new routes being added to the USBRS network in Indiana, Kansas, and Missouri further highlight the active transportation benefits that flow from the partnership between AASHTO, state DOTs, and Adventure Cycling.”

Digital maps for all designated U.S. Bicycle Routes are available to the public for free on the Adventure Cycling Association website. 

“Thanks to the efforts of volunteers, advocates and state departments of transportations, and support of our members and AASHTO, these four designations in Kansas, Indiana and Missouri bring us closer to the goal of an interstate bicycle travel network of routes equally accessible to all,” said Jenn Hamelman, Director of Routes at Adventure Cycling Association.

The nonprofit Adventure Cycling Association promotes bike travel and is the only organization that coordinates national development of the U.S. Bicycle Route System. Adventure Cycling staff offer technical assistance, volunteer coordination, and outreach to help states achieve official designation of routes.

As we look ahead to 2025, your support is critical to expanding and completing this trail that connects us all. If you have already supported our work this year—thank you! If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, now’s the perfect time: thanks to a generous donor, all donations before midnight will be matched up to $25,000.

Let’s continue building the Greenway, one state at a time—together!

Raising the bar for quality cycle routes for all and everywhere 
This year the deployment of the European Certification Standard (ECS), a methodology created by ECF to assess the quality of cycle routes, has shifted into high gear.

ECS surveys were undertaken in eleven countries in 2024. In countries like France, Austria, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, the ECS methodology was used to gather knowledge about cycling infrastructure, cycling-friendly services, and route promotion, leading to a better understanding of what is needed for a higher-quality cycle route network both nationally and on a European level. The growing interest in ECS reflects the strength of the methodology and increased emphasis on quality from various stakeholders.  

One new route stretch can be proud of its EuroVelo Certification: The French section of EuroVelo 1 – Atlantic Coast Route, nationally branded as ‘La Velodyssee’. This 1,300 km route following the coast of France from Roscoff in Brittany to Hendaye in the Basque Country is the second EuroVelo route to reach the level of development required for EuroVelo Certification after EuroVelo 15 – Rhine Cycle Route, certified since 2015.

The EuroVelo Certification can be awarded to entire EuroVelo routes or continuous stretches of at least 300 km that meet the criteria set by ECS. The growing interest in ECS was also reflected in the record-breaking number of new EuroVelo Route Inspectors trained, including a bespoke course in Slovenia. Registrations for the 2025 training session are open.

The Norway Trail E-Xplorer
with Martin Söderström and Scotty Laughland

What makes a dream mountain bike trip? The place? The trails? The people? The culture? The landscapes? What if I told you, this one, had it all.

I started planning this out at the turn of the year, studying routes, trying to find local recommendations and watching videos to see if I could find the best trails in Norway’s southern circle. It turned out there wasn’t much on it and from mapping stuff, I quickly realised that to properly explore you’d need months if not years but we’d have just 7 days to take in and ride as much as we could and I’d say we did a pretty good job of it.

Joining me was none other than Martin Söderström – in my own words, he’s a renowned freeride athlete and a bit of a legend. I’d never met him before and I was unsure how much experience he had with this style of riding and travelling. Post trip and if I only had one sentence to describe him, I’d say; he’s a happy puppy who has the appetite of a labrador and is generally up for pretty much anything as long as he has had at least one ‘Skolebrod’ per day.

We met and started the trip at our most northern point of Oppdal. The drive up had been long but beautiful and for hours I’d gone without seeing any real infrastructure – the town itself was fairly modern and after a good night’s rest we found the best coffee shop and bakery before hitting the trails. I shared the news of what I’d planned and what our week would look like. It generally consisted of driving in the morning to our location followed by riding in the afternoon and into the evening with the hope of getting some sort of a sunset.

Our first trail of the trip would be Gullstein which translates to ‘the Golden Trail’ and it didn’t disappoint. A fairly easy to access but long climb led to some hike-a-biking similar to that of scrambling in search of the narrow overgrown marked path. Eventually, it took us up to a viewpoint that looked down on the valley of Oppdal – it was beautiful. Dropping into the trail, it was open for the majority, we’d ride on huge sections of rock slab and follow a narrow ribbon of single trail flowing over rocks, last minute braking for tight turns and trying hard not to ignore the impressive view. As we entered the woods, the dirt was loose, malchy and there were a few jumps. I followed Martin and watched him pop off of every opportunity and land into nothing. A quick refuel back in the village and we headed up to Rauhovdin for sunset but I’m going to let the photo do the talking – it was Norway on a postcard!

Day 2 would see us start with a 4 hour drive, our next location was Valldal and to get there we’d drive through the Troll Wall. Along it were some of the most inspiring views you’ve ever seen… it was jaw dropping and I think the drive ended up being more like 6 hours! Arriving in Valldal, it was just as incredible. Towering pillars of rocks from as high as you could see entered the Fjords – it was almost unfathomable that we’d ride our bikes here. Setting off, we started on a tarmac road which quickly became dirt and then narrowed into singletrail. Arriving at our high point, I felt like I’d stepped into a Lord of the Rings set – it was unbelievable, so raw, rugged and inhospitable. I led the way this time and dropped into a section of trail perched on the edge of a clifftop. Conditions were perfect and a mix of dirt and rock led us down the mountain side, it was technical and we had to work the bikes to find flow and maintain composure. I don’t think Martin had experienced many rides like this and I could tell he was loving it in his own way. The trail felt like it went on forever but eventually the open mountain top entered the trees and we were racing the sun set. There was still over 500m of elevation to go and we raced through the forest and arrived back into Valldal as it got dark just in time to discover some local craft ales and devour a tin of pringles for tea.

Next up, another 4 hour drive after 2 ferry crossings, 1 coffee stop and a Skolebrod each, we arrived in Sogndal. The plan of attack was to take on Molden. An open summit that led down to the Fjords below. It started off with a fairly manageable climb that was in places technical before a short hike-a-bike that took us to the top. Maybe we’d become all too blase with the views as we got straight into the riding but this was just as stunning as the days before. The trail looked endless as it undulated and made its way into the horizon. Martin dropped first and he read the trail completely differently to how I would have and his flow and stance on the bike made ease of the bigger impacts and he took every opportunity he could to pop off of everything or pull a manual.

We had a second day in Sogndal and after an easier morning of discovering its coffee scene we headed out to explore around Kaupanger. We rode in what Martin described as a very typical Scandinavian Wood and on our way up, the descent teased us as we kept passing it on every switchback. Looking down, it was again loamy with loose dirt amongst sections of rock and this trail might actually have been one of my favourites of the trip. We navigated through the trees, carved the turns and bounced through the rock gardens. I let Martin go first and he was ripping, loam was flying off of his back wheel. We were laughing, shouting and having the best time… it was the purest hero dirt mixed with trail perfection and we both felt like we were surfing!

Another ferry and Fjord crossing and we arrived at Hemsedal. Tonight, we’d be camping and I’d be cooking. There’s something incredible about sleeping and cooking as a crew in the wild – everyone has to do their own bit and there’s no distractions. The bikes were put on charge, Martin built out the camp area, I lit the BBQ and prepped a Salmon Fillet to be baked. Whilst it was cooking, we cracked open a couple of Beers and sat back and reflected on what had been an epic trip realising we’d only just passed the halfway point.

Hemsedal would be the first and only Ski town we’d visit. Our plan was to explore some of the trails outside of the bike park and we’d fittingly take on the ‘Forgotten Trail.’ Starting above the Hemsedal, the landscape had changed again, it was still highland terrain but the surrounding mountains were less jagged, more rounded and dare I say it – sections between were even flat. Autumn felt like it had set in early, the colours were changing and we navigated sections of rock before dropping into a Birch Forest laden with roots, thankfully there were catch berms in just the right places and it made it easy to flow back down to the valley floor. In the afternoon and in typical fashion we missed the last chairlift. At least we had the assistance of the Voltages and we had literally just enough battery power left to climb back up and drop into Sentrumstien, a red graded flow trail! I let Martin lead me again and he was clearly back in his forte. He playfully hit the jumps, scrubbed the rollers, aired off of the side hits and carved the berms from top to bottom. We laughed our heads off and finished up at Fyri resort. Checked in and enjoyed the incredible facilities on offer which included a pool bar, after 5 days of continuous movement a bit of R and R was needed.

Our penultimate stop was Nesbyn and it was somewhere we’d both heard a lot of. Here, we met with Will from Any Excuse to Ride to guide us so we could make best use of the little time we had available. First tho, to the Bear House bakery for a yup, you guessed it! Norway’s baked goods were in a class of their own and they were fuelling the entirety of the team. Eventually, we’d head up and climb up to ride Beater – this was the one with all the hype and it lived up to those expectations! I almost can’t describe how well it flowed, there was a mix of natural and man made sections combined with long straight aways that had been created by timber merchants dragging wood from the forest by horse decades ago. I think this actually might have been one of the best we rode on the trip but it’s almost too hard to call as each had their own uniqueness! Will then took us back up for one last lap on a secret trail he’d been working on with no time for photos or video just purely for enjoyment and I can tell you that it was sensational. My bars dragged through the low lying vegetation as I pushed the Voltage into the berms and flowed out. Maybe I recorded the GPS of it but maybe I didn’t.

Finally, we arrived in Oslo and explored the small but fun trail area of Ramsas. I think we were both surprised by how good the trails so close to the city were. Techy, rooty, malchy and loamy were all words I’d use to describe them and it was almost like a summary of the trip to this point. It wasn’t the biggest network of trails but was a lot of fun to ride. We found some drops to session and took advantage of the power of the Voltage and the smaller hill to lap the variety of trails.

Over 7 days we’d gone from the remote wilderness of the Fjords taking on back country rides to being above the country’s capital. We’d eaten dozens of Skolebrod, cinnamon buns and drunk gallons of coffee and beer and shared experiences I don’t think either of us will forget anytime soon. For me, it was about sharing the journey with Martin, both of us being outwith our comfort zones and coming away from it as friends. We’re from two very different disciplines of mountain biking and usually we don’t get the chance to meet or share the trails. In this instance, the power of the Voltage had brought us together. So Marty, thanks for going along with my crazy plans and here’s to the next one even if it means I get schooled at the skatepark by you!

The Bicycle Friendly State Rankings measure state performance on the League’s five Bicycle Friendly Actions and across key categories: Infrastructure, Safety, Funding, Planning, Laws, #EveryRideCounts, and Capacity & Support. Each category reflects the policies, resources, and practices that contribute to safer and more accessible biking for everyone.

“Creating a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone starts with leadership at the state level,” said Bill Nesper, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. “In the states at the top of the list, we see places where advocates, lawmakers, and decision makers are united in their belief that better bicycling benefits everyone. This year’s rankings celebrate the progress some states have made, but the record number of bicyclist deaths is a stark reminder that more must be done to protect people who bike.”

Key Findings from the 2024 Rankings Report

• Record Bicyclist Fatalities: Preliminary estimates indicate 1,149 bicyclists were killed in 2023, the highest number ever recorded, continuing an alarming trend. Nationwide, roads owned by state Departments of Transportation account for more bicyclist deaths than any other type of roadway owner. These roads often have higher posted speed limits than locally owned roads.
• New Focus on Safe Speeds: The League introduced a new scoring category this year, assessing state laws that enable communities to adopt safer speed limits. Nineteen states received credit for implementing policies allowing and/or promoting 20 mph speed limits.
• Infrastructure Investment: States have spent record federal funds on biking and walking projects thanks to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. However, as a percentage of overall transportation spending, biking and walking investments did not increase much as other roadway investments.
• Every Ride Counts: The category in which states scored the lowest reveals a troubling lack of comprehensive efforts to count and understand bicycle ridership, underscoring the need for better data.
