Construction in Rockwood is pretty much done. Been told there’s 30m of gravel entering town. It means we can at last hammer down 5th Line from Oustic through Rockwood (carefully), up Guelph and 4th Line climbs finishing over the Berg. It could be epic. Take a minute to study the route.

It’s been seven weeks since that first chilly hammerfest out on the Guelph Lake interval circuit. Time to revisit in more favourable conditions. More daylight, more ride time, more suffering. It makes us stronger. : ) Meet at the Library.

*Note: there is a gravel section about 1km long on the northeast section of the route. Here’s a nice ride for HF enthusiasts. Length is moderate so you can save your legs for Wednesday’s first monthly TT of 2016. And everyone should come out for that because it’s fun and well, we offer it. As for saving legs on Tuesday Night Worlds, who are we kidding? A note about that: it’s not really worlds. These are open roads and we need to keep our group tight and to the right. So, until Tuesday, be safe (and keep riding safe).

Heading west this time. Hammerfest enthusiasts will appreciate the flat parcours with the exception of the Watsonberg kicker to sort things out in the final. It’s not a race is it? No, it’s not. See ya Tuesday.

Something in a northwest direction for Tuesday’s Hammerfest enthusiasts. Note the new start time: 6:30 p.m.. If not, you will be very early. Sunset is 8:25 p.m. so bring lights just in case. We should be back in good time. Please bring your membership card if it’s your first club ride of the season. The intersection at Stone Road and Watson will mark the official end of the ride.

We’ll call this 6th Line Direct. The ride will shoot down to Campbellville, allow for some escapism on the ascent – or escapees – and straight back along 20th, over the berg, and boom, another one in the books. It might rain Tuesday so keep your eyes glued to your TV set. A call will be made by 5:00 p.m.

Hammerfest enthusiasts will appreciate this simple route over a moderate, early-season distance. Weather bodes well or definitely better than last week. Lights are good, they make you visible.

Hammerfest enthusiasts will meet at the library at 6:00pm and head out to the Guelph Lake interval loop course. This will give anyone a chance to bail if conditions are not to their liking. We do a few laps and call it a beginning. Might be cancelled but probably not.

Note the new earlier start time and let’s have some fun.

Guelph Lake loops always a good time. Bring your lights. See you at 6:30. If the lightning starts we can hightail it.

Very easy to follow route for Tuesday.
