we changed our name!
Maybe you have heard already, perhaps you haven’t: the Speed River Cycling Club has changed its name to The Guelph Cycling Club. But don’t worry! GCC is still the same great group of people offering the same (maybe even more!) great riding experiences, just with a new name and logo. You can read how the changes came about in our recent newsletter.
If you’re new here, feel free to poke around. We’re still putting the finishing touches on things as we prepare for the 2022 riding season – you may stumble upon some incomplete pages & content. Bear with us while we tighten the spokes and get the shifting indexed just right, and we’ll see you on the road!

ECOSYSTEM
Positive growth.
Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture. But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.
Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
