CANCELLED: Thursday Advanced Road Ride | Sept. 4 6 PM (Remote start)

Cancelled due to low turnout. The whole gravel bikes thing appears to have caught on because there are 12 people signed up for the coached CX session happening tonight. There are another five in the Intermediate ride also set to launch from Flow State so any road stragglers are welcome to join them…


Zwift, gravel bikes and the von Dehn homes winter loop out at Guelph Lake have made the off-season somewhat more bearable but the end of the GCC mid-week rides still make me a little sad: I love all types of cycling but road is still my favourite. Alas…

The Intermediate crew are starting from Flow State so we’ll do that as well, taking on some roads to the southwest. Given the limited time available, all the advanced groups will do the same 47km loop and I’ll be bringing lights…

Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined.
