CANCELLED: Thursday Advanced Road Ride | May 22 6:30PM
Yup. Its unpleasant out there for anybody who’s not entirely crazy. See you hopefully on Sunday! Looking at the forecast for Thursday and I have to think that I’ve gone crazy and all the nice weather we’ve had was just a dream and it really is early March. 10C and rain? Ahhhh, nope! I’m taking…

CANCELLED: Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 1 6:00PM
CANCELLED: As expected, its just not a pleasant day for riding. Hunker down and clean and tweak your bike in anticipation of nicer weather. The weather is looking pretty grim at this point and we likely won’t be riding, but I’m bound by GCC law to post a ride anyways. Should the weather magically turn…

Sunday Road Tours | Sept 29 8AM
For those of you who either don’t have a mountain bike or are afraid of trees, we have a road ride for you this Sunday! Since the winds will be coming from the NE, we’ll head out in that direction towards Belfountain so we can take advantage of the fabled “tailwind” for the ride back.…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 25 8:00am
We’re resurrecting the original route from the modified Super Sunday Gravel Ride. I wasn’t around, but apparently the weather was expected to be worse to the north of Guelph than the south, so a different route was used. We’re not going to have that problem this Sunday! We’ll take a break in Alma for some…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 11 6:30PM
Since the nights are still pretty long, we’re going to stretch things out and hit Limehouse for a ride. The roads should be nice and clean after the washing that the remains of Hurricane Beryl gave them. We will be flirting with sunset, so make sure to bring lights! Load the route on your bike…

Sunday Road Tours | April 28 9:00AM
RIDE IS ON!!! There’s rain forecasted around 11am. We’re rolling out as planned, but may shorten the ride to avoid getting too wet. 60-70k is better than no K. Also, Kevin bought a fancy new rain jacket he wants to try out. It’s Paris/Ancaster weekend, and its going to be amazingly warm with temperatures in…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | April 18 6:00PM
Welcome to the inaugural Thursday road ride of the 2024 season! This ride will jog your memory of the last Thursday road ride of 2023, because we’re following mostly the same route! Last time, several people loaded the wrong route which resulted in some missed turns. I won’t name names (*cough cough* KEVINKOOLE *cough*) but…

CANCELLED: Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 8 Hell-Naw
UPDATE 4:45pm Sat. TWN’s assessment of Sunday’s weather is still correct. Get an early start on eating turkey. After such a glorious week, it makes total sense that the weather would pull a 180 on us and turn to absolute crap. It might be me. As of Friday evening, Sunday is looking to be cold,…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | Aug 31 6:00PM
I do love this time of year, but I’m also very sad because this is the last official Thursday road ride for the 2023 season. It’s not all sad news though. We’ve still got one more Tuesday ride next week and we’ll be doing Sunday road and gravel rides until the weather stops us. Load…

Tuesday All Members Ride | July 11th 6:30PM
5:30 PM WEATHER UPDATE: The ride is not yet officially cancelled. It’s looking like the current weather system will pass just before 6:30PM. However, if we are still under EC Weather Alerts at 6:30 PM we must officially cancel the ride, clear skies or not. This does not stop members from choosing to ride unofficially.…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | June 8 6:30PM
RIDE IS ON!!! Not nearly as smoky as they were forecasting and any rain is nowhere near us. See you at the library! We’ve done a lot of rides to the southeast lately, so we’re going to change it up a bit and head towards Hespeler. Yes, we’re starting out heading southeast, but we’ll veer…

Tuesday All Members Ride | May 16th 6:30PM
These are the Early Season Routes for the TAM Ride. They will remain the same for several weeks giving riders an opportunity to see how they progress in fitness week-over-week. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Especially this early in the season. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 30 11am
Say it isn’t so! This is supposedly the final scheduled gravel ride for the 2022 season! We’re not going to go down without a fight, so we’re going to take advantage of what promises to be a seasonably lovely day for a ride out to some bits north of town that I’ve never done, and…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Sept 11 8:00am
Once again, we’re heading out to the copious amount of gravel roads NE of Guelph and making our way into Hillsburgh. Its going to be a spectacular day, so make sure you sunscreen up and bring lots of water. According to RWGPS, this route is 2/3 gravel, which is a good thing, since this is…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | Sept 1 6:00PM
Welp, its the penultimate Thursday road ride and its going to be a banger of an evening. We’re going to do a classic NE route out of town on roads that should be pretty quiet. R1 will do a bit of a bonus on Ash Street and Indian Trail. Bringing lights is always a good…

RIDE CANCELLED | Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 21 8:00AM
RIDE CANCELLED: There are several nasty blobs of weather headed this way. It could go either way, but I’m not keen on getting caught in a thunderstorm. I haven’t done any gravel rides to the north and east of town for quite some time. I was hoping to do that for this ride, but it…
