Same route as we were going to do last week.  We're going to do a paceline as well, rotation counter-clockwise.  I'll do a bit of a pre-ride talk so we're all on the same page.  A and B groups again as well.  

The second of our 4 event time trial series! Time trials are a great way to test your fitness.  It is a race against yourself and the clock. Riders start at 1 minute intervals and the challenge is to try to catch the rider ahead of you and not to be caught by the rider…

Another longish one to take advantage of the longest days of the year! Usual regrouping at the top of Rattlesnake, 6th line, etc.

As a side project, we've been looking into ordering custom skinsuits for the club.  These are great for time-trials, cyclocross, and crits… and road rides if you're into that. Tom has contacted Vie13 (http://www.vie13.com/product_long_sleeve_skinsuit.html) and it looks like with full custom SRCC logo-ing would come out to about $110 a piece.  This is a very…

Ride is cancelled…. Check the comments below, I may ride at 10 am being that it looks to improve by then.  I will post something there.. For Fathers Day ride we will explore some roads to the west and head towards St George.  Its a longish ride but relatively flat.  A continuous stream of rollers…

The ride for tonight is cancelled. Did somebody not sacrifice an inner tube to the cycling gods this spring or something?  There is a constant streamer headed down to the Guelph area http://weather.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=WSO Better luck next week I suppose, argh.

I accidentally posted the wrong dates for the time trials on the Google calendar.  The next TT is not tomorrow, but NEXT week.  Apologies if this has messed up anyone's plans, send the hate-mail this way.  All remaining dates have been corrected. Sorry again, -Gabhan

The Skills and Safety Course has had participants every week, all new members. The LAST in the series will be held Wednesday June 12 at 6PM starting at Planet Bean on Grange. We may hold a course or two in July and August If you are attending  or want a refresher, the course material is posted under…

RIDE IS CANCELLED. Seriously hate to pull the plug, but it looks like there's a cell inbound from the north that will likely not clear the area until well into our ride window. Better safe than miserable and dirty. Sorry folks, we'll have to park this route for another evening! We're into the longest days…

No route posted from Bayden yet, so we'll go with the Guelph Lake circuit for tonight unless he vetoes that. Lots of daylight means lots of laps…  

Since last Sunday's ride was rained out, let's try the same route, but with 6th line put back in. I don't think there are any food stops en route, but it's only an even 100k, and there is still the Gatorade/water vending machine at the top of Rattlesnake. Bring your climbing legs!  

Looking crappy enough going forward that the official ride is cancelled. I'm sick of looking out the window and doing nothing as I can't decide what I'm going to do tonight.  Fortunately I'm skipping the tour, having just ridden the Giro, and my program will have me refocus on the Vuelta so … you know.…

Going for 47 km as the days are getting longer. Tonight we will be running the new road cycling skills safety course which is highly recommended for all riders participating in club rides. The objective is to improve safety, enjoyment, and cycling skills in group riding. Offered every Wednesday until June 9, it leaves from…

Good weather in store for tomorrow night so we’ll do a nice one. As this is a point to point route we’ll make two groups and send the first off 5 mins ahead.  – Notes: This isn’t a pursuit kinda thing, or a slow/fast group kinda thing. Both groups will be jamming, but the first…

RIDE CANCELED DUE TO RAIN, see comments for details. First June ride, and June means Rattlesnake! Weather forecast looks alright, might be some rain overnight Saturday, so will keep an eye on that. Route is under 100k, but hilly, so we'll just stop at the bless-ed Gatorade machine at the top of Rattlesnake for drinks…
