The weather radar is showing the storm heading hitting Guelph at around 6:30pm, so playing it safe. Sorry for the about face.

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…

New 6:30pm start time!

Two ride options for the rest of the summer on Sundays, we've had some interest from members about a shorter ride. Both rides will leave from the usual spot at the library. Please note the earlier start time of 9am, this will keep up until August. Long ride to Dundas (slightly different version to get…

Weather looks clear, ride is on. 6pm start time (NEXT week the shift is to 6:30pm) Relatively sheltered route from what will be high winds tomorrow – be advised! A & B groups, weather looking ok 🙂

Here's a ride on some nice paved country roads.  Watch out for ornery deer and ferral chickens.   As usual, don't forget your club cards and the social paceline will be in effect except for the section of 124 where we'll go single file.  Also,  if the weather looks nasty I'll make the decision to…

update: weather looks to be clearing, but there will be no ride leader tonight, and it will be wet. There may be a turnout though – Guelph Lake interval loops:

This will be the last 11:00AM Sunday start. Next week, rides begin at 9:00AM. So, to Dundas! Meet at Starwood Library.

A and B groups again… starts at 6PM. Please be sure to look over the Group Ride Information, especially the section on how we rotate. Also please bring your club membership card. We are meeting at the Guelph Public Library on Starwood Drive, the new start location for all club rides.

Looks like a record turnout for club members (14 or more?). Head on over to the forum to see if some carpooling can be arranged. Best of luck to all this weekend!

Today we’ll go north into the wind.  My goal is to keep the ride inclusive by going at a speed likely below 28 km/h into the wind and we will regroup after every hill.  I am guessing we will average below 28 km/h today. We will be doing the rotation as shown on the club…

Classic type route on tap, first point to point Tuesday of the year. Take note of the multiple shortcut options along the way (15 side road, Campbellville,etc)  

Easter Sunday Coffee Ride! This 113k base miles ride will be run at an endurance pace, with a stop at the Brown Dog Coffee Shoppe at kilometer 66.
