 Let’s try this again, Both B and A groups tonight, looks like great weather.

Here is Wednesday Nights ride! We have brought the route length back into the advertised 30-50km range and in regards to speed, we have no goal (we will not exceed the avg of 28km/h). Simply we want to move as smoothly, safely and steadily as the group will allow. We want to ride as a…

This short course is strongly recommended for any new-to-the-club riders (whether experienced with pack riding or not)  Every club has its own culture and rules. This is the easy way to learn them. Step 1 Read Group Riding Skills 101 at http://03c25d2.netsolhost.com/wp15/p/group-ride-info.html#Skills, Step 2 Arrive at 6PM,  30 minutes before the Wednesday ride. An instructor…

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…

Weather looking perfect!  Two routes both heading south for 70km and 120km options.     70km Route 120km Route

 Well the rain looks like it is coming our way, so the official ride is cancelled, however feel free to show up and ride if you wish it will just not be an official club ride.

Update 4:50pm, weather looks good, ride is on. If we have a larger group like last week, we will start with two groups at the beginning. Please review the ride description and requirements for Wednesday rides. We'll try to emphasize smoother rotations on the front of the pack, and consistent riding (vs. surging and braking in…

I won’t be able to make it tonight but should be a perfect night for a ride:

Looks like nice weather again. Some club members may be off racing at the KW Classic or the third MTB O-Cup, or even riding the Rideau Lakes Tour. Lots going on this weekend. Long ride to Belfountain:     Shorter ride:

Heading to the other side for a change. A & B groups. 

By popular demand, the route is a little longer this week.  We will be striving to maintain the 28 kph pace.  If it looks like we are stuck for time, I may shorten the ride by turning onto 20 Sideroad instead of 15 which will shorten the ride by 8 km.   For those interested,…

Taking full advantage of daylight while we have it, to the snake we go:   

Two rides to choose from, each taking advantage of the forecasted south winds and warm, sunny weather. The Longer Ride will sneak up on Cafe Domestique from an altogether different direction and via some seldom-travelled-by-SRCC roads. Then we'll revel in our cleverness as we enjoy Americanos and baked goods on the porch and/or back patio.…

Weather looking good again with slight wind from the east. A and B groups and rotating paceline as usual.   

For a change, 23C and Sunny tomorrow (fingers crossed). I haven’t been out on a long ride yet, so pace may be slower than usual. Regular route, but in reverse.
