Bayden

  • Hi Meg, thanks, and I’m missing everyone already too! At least we had a pretty decent run.
    Ottawa is the next destination

    Heads up for Mur de Twiss, expect the dip then steep wall out of there at km 33. We’ll take it cool and safe, and mind the yellow line on the way up.

    As Andy mentioned below, this is my last week of club rides […]

    • Last Hammerfest for Bayden as (non) ride-leader. The silence speaks volumes. Can you hear it? We will miss you boyo.

    I just realized there is one section of dirt road – in lieu of changing the whole route at this point, I just highlighted it on the map, at the top. Its about 1.2km long, and not that rough, so we should be […]

  • I’ll probably swing by. Wed is usually my hair washing and Thurs ride tactics planning night, but I’ll make an exception.

  • Heads up that 4th line will still be somewhat loose from recent chipsealing, but not terrible. So will Side Rd 10, the road that 4th turns into (heading east/west) at the south end, its on the docked for chip sealing this year too, but not sure if they’ve gotten to it yet.

    5:25pm Update: Skies are clearing, roads drying, ride is ON.

    Megaloops V2 – in case of rain we can cut back early. Final call will be made by 5:30pm at the latest.

    With the Tour de Guelph tomorrow, there will just be the one group on the ride tomorrow (A & B groups effectively combined):

  • Bayden wrote a new post 9 years, 3 months ago

    5pm – Ride is on. NOTE THE ROUTE CHANGE.

    Since weather is so iffy tonight, Guelph lake loops to allow for cutting short at any time. 8pm looking like raintime.

  • Just along the eastern bit, right? From Puslinch townline to 1st line?

    As of June 24th, here are the roads recently chip sealed and that should be avoided for the next couple weeks:

    25 Side road
    1st Iine, from Arkell (of and on) to Killbride
    4th line

    Back to school. With a big climb at the furthest point, regrouping at the top with all those who start the climb together is encouraged, but then full beans on the way home.

    • If anyone wants to cut out a section to make the ride shorter and much easier we could go left on appleby instead of going all the way to silly old Bell school line, then wait for hopefully not too long for the other riders to catch up. If we get bored waiting we can ride back and forth on appleby three or four times to pass time.
      I also like the idea of waiting at the top of Bell school though, Bayden what is the limit on wait time? I don’t want to leave you behind but also can’t wait all night. Would it help if I carried your water bottles?
      I can also lend you my climbing wheels.

    • Well Mark, I meant climbing wheels but if you think Bayden needs training wheels, then he’s outta luck as I don’t have any.

  • I’ve always wondered about those names. Thanks for the history lesson 🙂

    FYI – we won’t have a ride leader available for this one – so the B group ride leader will sound you all off from the library at 6:30pm, and then you can split into two groups as usual by Arkel & Watson. Have fun, […]

    Long ride to Forks of the Credit. All welcome. This will be a +30km/hr , 4-5hr endurance type ride with some dirt sections.

  • Lets put it this way – If you wouldn’t do it in front of your own or your friend’s kids on the way to loan out a book, don’t do it there.
    Hopefully that answers your inevitable follow ups, too.

  • Anyone ridden 7th line recently to know how the potholes are doing?
    Last time I rode there, it was a bit of a minefield near the edges of the road, before and after Everton.

    You may have noticed the surge in riders participating in our regular rides this year. With so many riders now coming out for each ride, the group can easily spill out into the path of library patrons trying to […]

    From unfamiliar last week to familiar x2 this week – but still something new.
    In case you didn’t catch it from the map, we do the bottom loop twice.

    This one’s goes out to the long time Tuesday’ers who’ve seen them all. Fresh toast right here.

    Heading through Rockwood there are bound to be parked cars, etc, for that ~2km stretch, so extra caution and […]

    • A quick comment here, hopefully some people see it. As some people may have observed on the ‘A’ ride, a group of riders rolled through a red light coming out of Rockwood. This is unacceptable, and illegal. Yellow line violations are bad enough, but this is a whole other thing all together. If you want to ride through red lights on club rides, please find another club. End rant.

    Cancelled for now – will keep an eye on weather but looks like rain is a sure thing.

     

    Some tweaks on the route I normally take out here that hopefully make for a better ride. Note the ~2.5kms of dirt […]
