Big loop this time. I suggest dividing group into two, and sending one off 2 mins ahead. I won’t be able to make this one but will be back next week. Leave on time! Sunset at 8:30pm.
Tonight's Thursday night route. 64km, both the Col De Watson and the Watsonberg feature in tonght's ride. We will be departing from Planet Bean on Grange at 6:30pm SHARP.
Bring your membership card please and thanks. As well, a few people have been by the store mentioning issues w/ CCN. If you have issues registering please email CCN or call the number provided in the contact area. They should be able to sort the issues out much quicker than myself, Gabhan or Steve. But … if you just want to hear Gabhans sweet voice, give him a call as well.
Departure time is 6:30 p.m. from the Bean on Grange. Please remember to bring your membership card, available from Speed River Bicycle on Wyndham. Try-A-Ride sheets will also be available for those looking to check out the club. We are going to do 34 km given the days are still not that long.
Last club ride to start at 6pm, tomorrow they start at 6:30pm. We’ll go back to Guelph lake for some intervals, and next week go for a bigger point to point loop.
Here is the route. It is 100km with a lot of options to cut it shorter. We can make those calls on the road. We will be able to stop in Campbelville to refuel. The intent of this ride is to add base miles. It will not be a hammer fest. We will run the ride at a steady tempo with the goal of endurance base miles. We will also focus on group riding skills since we have been locked up in our basements for a long long time.
We will will be heading north to start the ride and run the route in a clockwise fashion.
Sorry for the double edit, but raining hard in kitchener again and heading our way. looked like it was dond but wasnt. playing it safe and calling it off.
Forecast is looking pretty cold, but at least clear, for Sunday morning. We'll keep the route short.
If anybody wants to do more kms, they can continue past 25th, south of Rockwood, but the club ride will be 62km. As always, please bring your membership card!
TONIGHTS RIDE HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Storm looks to hit us around 7 pm. Too bad, this is the warmest day since Oct 16 of last year…
First Thursday ride of the year! Its a bit on the shorter side but it still gets dark pretty early. Departure time is 6 p.m. from the Bean on Grange and please remember to bring your membership card, available from Speed River Bicycle on Wyndham. Try-A-Ride sheets will also be available for those looking to check out the club. Please note there are no sprints or KOM's. Pace will be moderate/fast, regrouping when required.
This is a shorter Wednesday route, given that it's early in the season and we're hoping to have some new club members join us. Departure time is 6 p.m. from the Bean on Grange and please remember to bring your membership card, available from Speed River Bicycle on Wyndham. Try-A-Ride sheets will also be available for those looking to check out the club.
To ensure the continued safety of our members, sprints and KOMs have been eliminated from all club rides, effective immediately. We ask that all club members work with ride leaders to support this policy.
