    This route is called the Fall Colours Tour so an appropriate one for this time of year. Not too long but long enough to enjoy one of the nicer days we are likely to see for a while. There is a stop at the Flying […]

  • Good suggestion. That is what we will do. Thanks, Ken.

  • This ride takes us to St. George for a rest stop then a little more south then east and finally north toward home. There is a 60% chance of showers but that could and probably will change. Update: There is a […]

    • Hey Andy,
      I rode the route today and you’ll want to make a change to avoid a road closure. Concession 7 is closed where you make a left turn just over the 401. The only option is to go right and then onto Brock Road with lots of roundabout construction and traffic. You probably should turn right onto Concession 1 from 35, instead of Concession 2, and continue onto Leslie, then Victoria.

    • Good suggestion. That is what we will do. Thanks, Ken.

  • Update: POP is 30% dropping to 20% later this morning so Ride On!

    This ride takes us to Dundas and the Detour Cafe or similar coffee refill station. Then it’s up Sydenham hill and home. Weather could lay a […]

  • This moderate route offers plenty of shortcuts back to town if so desired and minimal climbing. There is a rest stop in Fergus at a convenience store. Weather is not looking promising so look back here for the […]

  • Here is a route I’m not sure has been done on the Hammerfest. Not in a while anyhow. We ride at 6:00!

  • It looks like this will be the last chance to head over to 6th Line based on available daylight. If you have been riding a lot lately your tires may be getting worn. It’s a good idea to inspect them closely for […]

  • We haven’t done this in a while. The map indicates the official end point at Watson and York but Watson and Stone makes more sense so let’s end it there.

  • Fritters sound good? Of course they do and they do them right at the Tansley Coffee Emporium, formerly the Brown Dog Cafe, in St. George.

  • We face the possibility of thunder storms again tomorrow and, as usual, the call will be posted at 5:00pm. If there is a t-storm warning on Weather Network the ride will be cancelled. However, weather in our […]

  • RIDE CANCELLED: T-storm warnings and radar indicate there is some activity heading our way. Ride at your own risk. It might rain tomorrow but it might not. So we’ll plan to head out to the familiar 8km square […]

  • By request, up to Oustic, down to Rockwood and continuing along 5th Line with a finish on Hume then Watson Road.

  • Looks like Aaron has the B group doing one of the loops so you got your wish. Kind of. 🙂

  • This is Megaloops. The idea is to ride the 21km (mega)loop twice and head for home. For fun, in the past, we would split the group in two at Arkell and send one squad off 30 seconds ahead of the other. One group […]

  • You knew it was coming, right? Here it is, the much anticipated Rattlesnake, 6th Line Hammerfest combo-pack. We need a late sunset because it’s a long one and it’s got some grades. After the climb, we usually […]

  • Kind of like Thursday’s ride but a little longer with some added features. Should get the pulse rate up. For an extended period. But ya, looking like a beautiful night with perhaps a lingering east wind. Don’t […]

  • Yes, into a mighty headwind rewarded by a scorching return. That likely describes tomorrow’s hammerfest conditions. It’s a quick trip one town west.

  • It looks challenging to just the right degree. Should be a beautiful, warm evening.

  • In order to bring you the highest quality hammerfest possible it was necessary to alter the route. We substituted an unsafe and probably unridable, fresh gravel section with a tried and true gravel section. Thanks […]

  • Lets give this one a try. It traverses the TT course along 6th Line heading north and gives a sneak preview of road conditions for the first TT of the season on Wednesday at 7:00 pm.

    • Nice route Andy, was wondering when we head back this way again, thought you might have us tackle Mill at the end.
      Will everyone regroup at the food stop in Fergus 😉
