Women Only Ride | August 14 6:00 PM
I am all fired up on girl power after the Olympics, and what better way to celebrate than a GCC women’s ride! Think of these roads as the Champs-Elysees de Guelph. This was a new ride in the 2022 season that now runs regularly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. It is intended to…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 25 6:30PM
This route is a big boring rectangle on paper but it brings us to a particularly beautiful road east of Guelph. Don’t believe ridewithGPS about the gravel; it’s a lie! The days are still long but things happen so bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you…

CANCELLED Women Only Ride | June 26 6:30PM
The radar looks clear around the start time but the roads are going to be wet (blah). If it turns out to be a nice night, we can organize something unofficial. Time again to drop all the men! I’ve been rained out of a lot of rides this year; here’s hoping our collective female energy…

CANCELLED Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 20 6:30PM
*Ride Cancelled* There’s a severe thunderstorm watch + the roads are soaking wet + low sign up numbers. Better luck next week! The last two ride leaders have taken you north and west, so tonight we’ll go southeast again on a route that never gets old. If the weather looks stormy, check back for an…

5:00 pm update: ride is on! There’s a small chance we might get wet right at the start but the rest of the evening looks clear on the radar All new club members are required to attend a Learn to Group Ride session (LTGR). What is it? Instruction for those new to the club and/or…

CANCELLED – Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 17 6:00 PM
RIDE CANCELLED due to low sign up numbers and an ominous weather radar. See you next time! Welcome to the Tour de Fresh Pavement! Astute women may recognize much of this route from last week’s ride but, don’t worry, we will be riding it the opposite direction. Don’t forget about our new earlier start time;…

Women Only Ride | August 9 6:30PM
We had our beer and pizza, now it’s time to ride! The weather forecast is looking much less thundery. This is a new ride since the 2022 season that runs on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. It is intended to foster a supportive and safe riding culture where women can help women grow in…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 8 6:30PM
*RIDE IS ON. Radar looks clear for the time being and the clouds kept the smoke away.* The days are pretty long right now but bringing blinky lights is still a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may…

CANCELLED Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 4 6:00 pm
Darn – I thought we might get away with this one. But there’s still a fair bit of rain on the radar and plenty of water on the roads (I learned the fallout of riding in a group when the roads are wet at P2A). Hope to see you all on another ride soon. At…

CANCELLED – Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 25, 2022 6:00 pm
It’s bucketing rain and the radar signals more on the way. Even if you wanted to join the soggy bum club, Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm alert. Hope you are inspired to join a weekend ride instead, check out the big MTB ride if you haven’t already! With the Tuesday TAM route changing,…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 28 6:30
Another Thursday ride, another thunderstorm risk. However, as an unofficial GCC meteorologist, I am willing to bet this ride will go ahead. If you’ve been riding R4 and have been feeling inspired to surge away from the group, please mosey on over to R3, where you can put that extra energy to excellent use (see…

Women Only Ride | July 13 6:30PM
WEATHER UPDATE: RIDE IS ON. Our bums may be soggy but the radar looks clear (and the radar is always reliable…right??) Don’t forget to download the amended route if you haven’t already. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ! In order to accommodate the route for this week (designed by route master Meg Thorburn), we will start the women’s…

CANCELLED Women Only Ride | June 8 6:30 PM
**RIDE CANCELLED: I was hoping we could power through some drizzle but the weather radar is predicting not a small amount of rain. Now that the weather has derailed two women’s rides, we really hope to reschedule. The weather for the evening is looking a bit uncertain, check back here for a weather decision no…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 2 2022 at 6:30 pm
June is here! The days are longer and the butts are stronger. That means it’s time to start riding some longer routes! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The three Intermediate Speed Groups on this ride are: Moderate R4 …

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 19th 6:30 pm
This weather smells like riding bikes, and this route is inspired by the one developed by Dr. Thorburn for the first women’s ride. Come out and enjoy it in the opposite direction (with a few other tweaks) whether you were present for the women’s ride or not. The days are getting longer, but bringing lights…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 5th at 6:00 pm
Another beautiful spring night for our Thursday Intermediate Road Ride. We had a great turnout last week, let’s keep it up! It’s still early in the season, bringing blinky lights is always a good idea. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The three Intermediate Speed Groups on…
