Sunday Gravel Ride | Nov 17th 11:00 AM

,

The weather is cooperating for another November Sunday gravel ride. I’m keeping it short again, so we don’t get too chilled, and so that we’re well rested for the evening’s Annual Meeting and Social. I’ve Included some little loops of some of my favourite nearby gravel bike friendly trails. No coffee stop on this one.

Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.

Sunday Gravel Ride October 13 9AM RIDE ON

,

WE ARE A GO! LOOKS LIKE SOME LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE EARLY ON BUT GOING TO GAMBLE AND GIVE IT A GO. THROW THOSE LAYERS ON AND LETS HAVE SOME FUN! Thanksgiving weekend around town ramble! I’m hoping that this will allow folks the opportunity to get in a fun ride and to duck out when turkey calls! Some familiar trails and hopefully something new, this route will cover some of the best inner city trails Guelph has to offer and allow us to enjoy the autumn splendor. The forecast is not looking great, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed and will only cancel if it’s looking terrible (I’ll have two turkey dinners in me to burn!). Please note the early 9am start. It may be a little chilly but I’m hoping the early start will allow more people to join and still make later commitments. Check back Sunday morning for a final call on the weather.

Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights are a good idea.

Sunday is looking to still be part of this mini-heat wave we’re having, so it should be warm enough to ride by 8. A slightly shorter route but Elora has an amazing coffee shop (or two), so my default will be to stop for a quick coffee.

Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights are a good idea.

We haven’t been down to Valens for a while, plus it’s time to test your late season punchy hill skills on the LaFarge trail! Should be a beautiful day. Lots of fun friendly trail on this route. Scott is the ride leader. There may still be a food truck in Valens, but bring a snack for a quick break there just in case. There will also be a stop just after coming out of Puslinch at the Little Lake Market (km 69), where you can drink a very expensive latte. Bring some money.

Second annual Labour Day remote-start Erin ride. Same basic route as last year with a few minor modifications. Trailside coffee stop in Ingelwood. It is a bit of a shorter route but it is rather hilly, with one absolute brute (The Grange) so you’ll need your climbing legs. There is also a short but hilly and technical Bruce Trail section. Meet at the back parking lot (near the tennis courts) behind Center 2000 in Erin for a 9-am start. Since this is an “away” ride, carpooling can be arranged amongs yourselves or you can contact Meg and she’ll help you out. Also, if you are planning on driving and have room, please let her know if you are willing to take others.

Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights are a good idea.

Route: All Speed Groups will follow this map, however there are easy options to lengthen and shorten if desired. Lengthen (by 12 km) by continuing on Kennedy Rd. past Escarpment SR (@km 38.5) to Beech Grove SR, taking it west to Willoughby Rd. and then taking Willoughby back to Escarpment SR (where the Bruce Trail section starts). Shortening (by 6m) for a wee respite after climbing The Grange is simply continuing straight on The Grange SR past Creditview Rd (@km 48.5) and pick the route back up at Shaws Creek Rd.

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 25 8:00am

We’re resurrecting the original route from the modified Super Sunday Gravel Ride. I wasn’t around, but apparently the weather was expected to be worse to the north of Guelph than the south, so a different route was used. We’re not going to have that problem this Sunday! We’ll take a break in Alma for some snacks and refreshments before making our way to the Covered Bridge and the G2G trail for the ride home.

Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights are a good idea.

**Cancelled** Sunday Gravel Ride | June 30 8:00AM

,

Happy Canada Day long weekend! Hope at least a few club members opted for a weekend in town and are up for a long gravel ride covering some of my favorite roads! Those of you who did the BGR will be familiar with some of these roads, as we head towards Hillsburgh, then up and over to Belwood before returning to Guelph via the Elora Cataract Trail. There will be the possibility to stop for refreshments in Hillsburgh (KM 43) and Belwood (KM 70). Option to cut out the climb on 27 by hopping on the ECT and/or slightly shorten the route by cutting out final meandering part through town.
