RIDE IS CANCELLED. Weather Alert: Some scattered green clouds heading our way on the radar. It might rain a bit.
We’ll let the A Group go for the stage win while the B’s sip champagne and celebrate with a “tour” […]Wilfred Ferwerda commented on the post, Sunday August 6, 9:00am Medium Ride 7 years, 2 months ago
Not to hijack this ride, but for anyone looking to put a few more kms in the legs I’m planning to head down to St George with the Sunday Long group and then veer off (at a B pace) east of Ancaster, head north of Dundas, over to Waterdown via Patterson and Snake Rds and then back home via the usual roads. Close to 160 kms in total. Here’s the…[Read more]

Aaron…at the social ride last night, we were talking about heading over to the Wooly this evening–rain or shine. Can you add this to your blurb above?

Unofficial ride leaving from 57 Park at 6:30. Ron and I are probably heading to Chilligo Rd for a quick spin.

Quick shower blowing over?

EC Weather Alerts adds : “…very strong wind gusts can damage buildings, down trees and blow large vehicles off the road.” Hmm. I wonder how a MAMIL on a CF bike will fair in these conditions?

My apologies to everyone for changing my mind on the ride. I’ll head down to the start location in case some riders missed my latest edit and showed up.

Yes. And the sun is shining yet the Environment Canada forecast for Guelph says: Severe thunderstorm watch in effect.

**RIDE IS CANCELLED** There is a SEVERE thunderstorm watch in effect. The radar shows small storm cells moving across Southern Ontario north of Guelph. I’m thinking it will miss us, but for everyones safety I’m […]
:'( I am tired of this wind. Looks like no rain but 60 km gusts!

Good call. I was in Toronto and was almost hydroplaning in the car it was raining so hard.

Despite 2 wipeouts in the mud and a mechanical, Ronnie still beat me by 3 minutes. Maybe I should have asked Steve Head for a motor check at the finish line? Or is this a Rule 5 moment… i.e. HTFU, little brother!

Thanks for the excellent comment and advice, Cory.
Regarding the ‘B’ ride, we are going to try to keep a steady 30-32 kph pace as a solid, tight group using the social paceline (see the guidelines on this webpage). We will wait for each other after the hills and re-group.
If someone is feeling uncomfortable, hang out at the back and we’ll…[Read more]

Time to test the legs a little with the Watson Twins. Bring your lights and membership card.

If someone is feeling uncomfortable, hang out at the back and we’ll pull you along. Please let me know before you plan to leave the group and head back (there are several handy cut-out spots along the route).
Thank you for the information…my goal will be to ride a Thursday A…for now…I’m happy with the B.

Let’s finish our weekday club rides with a few of our favourite things: the Watson Twins! Chance of a thunderstorm, but it should clear up by ride time. Bring lights. Also, sounds like there could be a post-ride, […]

I can cover for you if need be Wilfred. Just let me know later on in the day.
Thanks Chris. If you are riding tonight anyways, I would count on it. The arms are pretty sore from breaking the fall. Not sure I can hang on to the bars.
Hey Chris…I think you better take over the ride. The road rash is workable, but it’s the sore wrists, elbow and upper arms that are slowing me down at the moment.
Have a great ride (remember to turn left going on Watson from Hume).
Let me know if you guys head over to the Wooly. I might join you.

In keeping with how this season has gone the official club ride is cancelled. Far too much green heading our way. Some brave souls may roll the dice and still go to the library but I will not be one of them. There will likely be a few more unofficial weeknight rides organizes in the forum so check it out.
Wasn’t this ride just cancelled? I wont make it to the ride (if it’s on) but am good to go to the Wooly. I will keep an eye out for strava titles as well!
Ok, sorry about that folks. I was caught in traffic coming back from physio and was a little too hasty on the keyboard. I have now cancelled the official ride. We will still meet at the Wooly. What time do you think I should insert in the title: 8:30?
Works for me!
