  • A pretty standard loop around southern Wellington County. The only novel part is we’ll be riding the new pavement on Eramosa-Garafraxa Townline. There will be a rest stop at Flying Monkey and then we’ll […]

  • This is a pretty simple route going around Belwood Lake. The only catch is we are going to take the trail from 4th line to 2nd line. This means a bit of hard packed gravel so plan accordingly. If people […]

  • This ride will take us north of the city to the rolling farmland near Oustic. Although the roads are very quiet and in good shape, we’ll go single file on 124 near Guelph lake. The official end of the ride is […]

  • We are now only able to pick up our race packages on Saturday because… well, I don’t actually get it but here we are…. Anyway, I will be going down to Ancaster on Saturday morning to pick up some race […]

  • I’m going to call this one “Wilfred’s way” since it was inspired by Wilfred’s cancelled ride a while ago. Be careful crossing highway 7 and bring lights. Start time is 6:00 See you there!

  • Update: Ride cancelled. Looks rainy and will be slipery -no use getting our drivetrains all mucked up considering all the nice riding weather we’ve had and the good forcast. We will meet at the parking area […]

  • Finally the mountain bike rides are starting! Logs have been cleared, trails are drying up – it’s time to ride. For the first ride of the season we’ll meet at the west side of the pedestrian bridge in […]

  • Weather looks fine at 5:30 PM. Ride is on. We’re going to try the route that Lorenz suggested for last Wednesdays (cancelled) ride. Same rules as usual.
    Ride ends at Clair and Gordon, Bring lights and […]

  • Hi Again Ken – We’re scheduling a try a ride for Wednesday July 26th. The rides depart from the Guelph Public Library at Watson and Starwood at 6:30. Hope to see you there.

  • Hi Ken

    All you need to do is show up on a bike with a proper helmet. The rides on Wednesday are the most mellow so might be a good place to start if you are new to group riding. I’ll find out when the next try-a-ride is and reply again.

    Cheers

  • This is a simple ride on mostly quiet roads. The ride will end at Victoria and Conservation Rd. Bring Lights and cross your fingers for good weather – call will be made at 5 PM or so.

    • I’m not yet a member, but would like to give the club a try. What do I need to do to participate in your try-a-ride?

  • UPDATE at 5:20 PM Ride Cancelled. Gonna go talk to my Bookie. I need to find a way to monetize the perfect correlation between me being ride leader and rain. Commodities? Hydroelectric utilities? […]

    • Are we a go or not go?

      • Radar looks good from 6pm until at lease 9:30pm. I’ll be at the library for 6:30pm for an informal ride with anyone else who wants to join. Based on the weather so far this year, if we keep cancelling rides when the weather isn’t perfect we’re going to miss a lot of rides this year.

    • I’m glad that people are still riding when the forecast doesn’t look so great. We have to officially cancel rides if there is a threat of rain, so Gord made the right call. But unofficial rides are more fun, right? 🙂

    • I will be there as well!

  • Update at 5:30 Official Ride Cancelled – Sorry about that but looks like rain. I think some die-hards might show up for an unoffical ride though….

    Simple ride towards the north and then down to the […]

  • Ride is officially cancelled (sad tuba sound). On the bright side, everybody can now catch up on their favorite podcasts while on the trainer…

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a weather forecast that is less […]

  • Update at 4:50. Official ride cancelled due to the rain. Stay Dry!

    A ride towards the north with a turnaround at the intersection of 4th line and Hwy 18. There is a new stop sign at Watson and Speedvale […]

  • Alright, here it is – I’ll call this a convoluted ramble through the countryside. It looks like it’s going to be hot so bring lots of water! Note that we have a very short section on Road 7 (to Elora) so we’ll go […]

  • Update at 5:05 I think I’m gonna cancel this. It’s possible that things could dissipate this evening but It could also persist for the entire evening. Anybody who wants to ride in an unofficial ride – take a […]

  • Here is the route for the medium ride this Sunday. Nothing too innovative but the road on the North side of Belwood Lake is nice. For the short section of Road 18 just south of the Grand River we’ll go single […]

  • Nothing very innovative here but the roads do avoid most of the bad chip seal and the traffic from hillside.

  • Update at 5:25PM Ride is on. Radar looks decent – if we do get any precip, just be careful and err on the side of safety…

    Update at 5:05PM Too early to tell. looks okay but some thunderstorms still might […]
