Thursday May 5th rides | 6:30pm
Again, please note the 6:30 start time. Easy to remember route for the A and B groups: Watson, 15th, 6th line, and 25th. Let’s try to focus on keeping a good formation on the road, rotating smoothly and tight-to-the-right. The forecast looks good!

Wednesday, May 4th ride | 6:30 pm start
NOTE the later, 6:30 pm start! Straightforward route that features a good stretch of 2nd Line, a spin through Moffat, and—for the first time on a 2016 Wednesday—the dreaded Watsonburg! Remember your lights, membership cards, and smiles… looks to be a nice night for a ride.

Tuesday B: May 3, 6:30pm
A trip out to 6th line-the easy way. Note the later start time of 6:30pm. There’s still a bit of sand on 25th side road so we’ll take it easy through there on our way out. As always, bring your lights just in case.

Thursday Ride | April 28, 6:00pm
The forces of evil, or as some call it, winter is not going without a struggle, so dress accordingly for tonight’s ride. We’ll head down first line, back through Mountsberg Rd and cover both Watson climbs. Remember your lights, gloves and layer up!

April 26 – Tuesday B Ride 6:00 pm (The Fast n’ Steady Fest)
RIDE IS ON! – Well the weather may be iffy (and chilly) but we’ll be spiffy (in our new club kit) as we come down Watson on our way through Puslinch. We’ll keep going West over to Hespler and turning back up to Guelph along Roszell/Laird Rd. Those wishing to can cut back to Guelph…

We’ll call this 6th Line Direct. The ride will shoot down to Campbellville, allow for some escapism on the ascent – or escapees – and straight back along 20th, over the berg, and boom, another one in the books. It might rain Tuesday so keep your eyes glued to your TV set. A call will…

April 20 – Wednesday Ride – 6:00 PM
[I made a slight change to the route to avoid gravel.] Spring is finally here – it’s time to get out there! It’s getting warmer. We’ll do a nice, easy 39 km that’ll have us home in time for dinner and before the street lights come on. Don’t forget your 2016 membership card; good to have…
