Wednesday Ride | July 13, 6:30pm
Its gonna be a scorcher! We’ll stick to some familiar, and a few not so familiar, quiet roads with minimal climbing and some shade. Please remember to bring plenty of liquids. Weather looking like a slight chance of some rain, the call will be made by 5:30pm.

Tuesday B |SPEEDFEST|July 12, 6:30 pm
This week we’ll be on the same course (less a few KMs) as the A ride setting a blistering/no-drop pace as we hopefully pick up some fallen heroes. Our aim will be to work as a team to set a pace that will challenge the stronger riders (by taking more turns on the front) but…

Thursday, July 7th A/B rides | 6:30 pm start
A back-loaded route that features the Col du Watson, Watson Rollers, and (newly repaved) Watsonburg in the final 14k. This will undoubtedly make for an animated A-ride finish, while the B-ride will take it all in steady, organized, attack-free stride. Note the 2k gravel stretch between Concession Rd. 4 and CR 34.

Sunday July 3, Medium Ride, 9:00 am
This route was for a ride that was rained out in May. Looks like a good choice for tomorrow. I haven’t added a coffee stop anywhere, we can discuss as a group if that is something we want to do.

July 3rd Sunday LOONG ride | 9AM
Picking a classic route for Sunday out to forks of the credit. Looking forward to great weather, a steady pace and a tail wind in all directions. A well earned coffee shop stop in Belfountain after some solid climbing.

June 28, Tuesday HAMMERFEST 6:30
Here is the challenging route we look forward to every year. After Rattlesnake, 6th Line doesn’t seem so bad – except you’ve just climbed Rattlesnake. Let’s all regroup in the Rattlesnake Point parking lot (left turn at the top)where bottles can be refilled and high-5s exchanged.
