Going to be a hot one! A slightly shorter route, as the sun is setting a bit earlier these days. Still aiming for the advertised 32-35kph average.

Sunday July 26 Medium ride – 9:00 AM
Nothing very innovative here but the roads do avoid most of the bad chip seal and the traffic from hillside.

Sunday July 26th long ride | 9am
One for the Garmin. In honour of the Alpine stages, we’ll do a bit of climbing (and descending). It should be hot again, but not so humid, so we’ll do the climbing early. A hose station on Rattlesnake and a stop at the Flying Monkey in Campbellville should keep up moving.

Tues. A Hammerfest: July 21 6:30pm

This is a pleasant route. A Group, rip it up. B Group will chug along at 31 km/h. If on front, ride the uphills steady and pedal on the downhills for a smooth ride.

Wednesday July 15th ride | 6:30pm
Tonight’s ride will take us north, and then loop around through Rockwood conservation area and Eden Mills. We’ll take in some scenic roads and (if the forecast can be trusted) a nice tailwind on the way back. We’ll go single file on the two short sections of Hwy 124.
