Sunday Road Tours | May 12 @ 9am

Mothers Day Road Tours!

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Rest stop baked goods are sweeeet!

and mom so are you!

With Sunday being Mothers Day, the road ride options are shorter in length and starting at 9am to provide more flexible afternoon time. The Grand Tour is 102k visiting Holtoms Bakery in Erin. The Tour is 70k with rest at the Whistle Stop in Rockwood.

I’ll be jealous if you have a pannier to carry home baked goods for mom 🙂

Tail lights are also always a good idea.

Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.

PLEASE SIGN UP EARLY IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND! That way we can be confident if all formats of the ride will officially run.

All rides need a minimum of 3 members signed up in order to officially run. If a ride has the required number of riders, but no Group Captain riding with them, that group ride will be considered cancelled. The group can decide among themselves to hold an ‘unofficial’ ride and follow the route. All group riders take it upon themselves to know the route and are responsible for their own safety.

Ride groups will be:
