Weather Update Sunday at 8:30 AM: Ride is on! The sun is shining! Temps reasonable and only getting warmer. Free skunk stripes for everyone without a fender! P2A is coming!!
Route has been slightly adjusted as of 7PM Saturday evening.
Welcome to the very first Sunday Gravel ride for 2024!
As always, we’ll start the year with slightly shorter routes and keep building as the season progresses, as does our fitness. We’re heading north. Interestingly, this very weekend last year there was still snow on the rail trails north of Guelph, what a difference from last year. This should be a good route for those preparing for P2A. Bring money for a coffee stop in Elora.
We have added a G4 group this year, if you found G3 a bit fast for you last year G4 might be for you!
Tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined.
The Speed Groups on this ride are:
| Cat | Name | Average Speed |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | Fast | 26+ kph |
| G2 | Advanced | 24-26 kph |
| G3 | Intermediate | 22-24 kph |
| G4 | Relaxed | 19-22 kph |
All rides need a minimum of 3 members signed up in order to officially run. If a ride has the required number of riders, but no Group Captain riding with them, that group ride will be considered cancelled. The group can decide among themselves to hold an ‘unofficial’ ride and follow the route. All group riders take it upon themselves to know the route and are responsible for their own safety.
