We started the season with loops of the Guelph Lake interval circuit on a frigid April evening. Let’s finish the same way and close the circle. If you’ve considered trying a Tuesday A ride, this could be a good place to start as we regroup after each 8km lap.

Here’s the route. I may be in Montreal. Enjoy.

Commit this route to memory, load it on a Garmin or tape it to the stem. It’s a tour of the southern roads, something a little different. Remember, we’re meeting at 6:00pm from now on.

Looks like a heavy rain event coming in tomorrow. But if the ride is a go this is our route. Maybe we’ll see the B ride along the way.

This fast, flat dash to Puslinch Lake and back with a rare descent down the Col will be pushing 80kms and sunset is 8:40 pm. So bring lights for the ride home. Will need to shorten these things soon. A brisk 40 km/h average should get us home on time. No problem.

Here’s a fun route, another Bayden special. We did it last summer. Let’s do it again. Note the 1km gravel stretch in the NE corner between 7th and 6th Lines.

Something a little different this week. We did it last year, one of Bayden’s concoctions dubbed Megaloops, two of them about 21kms each. We may split into two groups and have one chase the other while it tries to elude capture. It’s fun, you’ll see, unless you were there last year then you already know.

Here’s a longer, challenging route heading south then west. We’ll keep an eye on the weather. A couple of our club members are heading to Rio for the Olympics in August! Andrew Yorke and Jason Wilson will represent Canada and Barbados respectively in the triathlon. It’s our pleasure and honour to help these athletes prepare for their life dreams and we’re glad they’ve chosen to train with us.

If you cast your mind back to May 3rd you will remember this ride. You might also remember a missed left turn onto 8th Line. Here it is again, a fairly flat route with long stretches of open road. Enjoy.

Here is the challenging route we look forward to every year. After Rattlesnake, 6th Line doesn’t seem so bad – except you’ve just climbed Rattlesnake. Let’s all regroup in the Rattlesnake Point parking lot (left turn at the top)where bottles can be refilled and high-5s exchanged.

Here it is. The route indicates a rest stop in Fergus. You may disregard it.

A new route for this week. Fairly challenging and about as long as a Tuesday night ride can reasonably be. Lights for your ride home might be convenient. The southern turn around point comes north on Twiss Rd. Should be a good one. Aren’t they all?
