5:30pm: No sign of rain, ride is on.  New route for tonight:

Tour over for the fantasy cycling league, it looks like Cory takes the yellow jersery.  See everybody next year!

The mock-ups are ready, and we are ready to place an order with Vie13. Prices will be around $120-140, sizing and mockups below.  We have Andy, James K, Darren and Gabhan already in, so please email or comment to place your order.

A route to the east of modest distance, with a stop at The Shed Coffee Bar in Erin. Looks like the oppressive heat will break in time for our ride, and we may even enjoy a tailwind on the return leg.   An SRCC MomentChillin' out and looking cool (Gabhan in particular) at The Shed…

Posted via Jim Wadleigh: Let’s escort Terry Manning into town July 27th! Terry Manning, 69 and a self-described “tough old fart”, is about halfway across the continent on a fundraiser for the Guelph General Hospital (you know, the place that heals you after crashing). So far, he has raised half of his $60,000 goal. http://terrystour2k13.wordpress.com/ He…

Ride is a go, rain *shouldn't* hit until at least 9PM.  Going to be another HOT one out there. If you are at all concerned about the heat, please use discretion. That being said, freeze your waterbottles and take it easy out there. The B group will be taking it easy so as not to…

Due to last-minute circumstances, the TT for this week has been postponed until July 24th, same bat-time, same bat-channel.  Plus, Froome would have won anyway…

I won’t be able to make this one, but here’s a route suggestion:

Let's do Gabhan's Big Summer Epic ride from last Sunday being that it got rained out.  130km, lots of climbing(Sydenham, Snake Rd, Rattlesnake), lots of water and food stops along the way.

I've proposed variations of this route twice this year, and twice had to cancel due to weather. Here's hoping the third time's a charm! Pay special attention to the routing through Maryhill and up to 8th line…a few turns in there. Otherwise, pretty straightforward. A and B groups, like usual. If you ride with group…

Ride is a on. Storm cells seem to have passed. If you're concerned about the weather, then please use your discretion. Roads will be wet I imagine. Bit of a different route, heading left onto Stone Rd where we usually go straight. There is a small stretch of hardpack gravel, but it's easy to navigate.…

If we get a clearing in the weather: 3:20pm Edit: Radar and forecast look clear, ride is on!  

Ride cancelled. There is a high POP for the rest of the day, with thunderstorms. Looks like the clouds are appearing quickly, and it would be unwise to do a ride with the threat of lightning. Let's call this the big epic of the summer, 130k with lots of climbing (Sydenham, Snake Rd, Rattlesnake). Some…

Radar looks fine, ride is on Simple route, 62km. May try some rotating paceline once we get to Oustic.  A and B groups again.  

RIDE IS CANCELLED! There may well be a ride window between now and 9:00, but things are looking pretty unsettled. I'm going to call off the official ride and leave it to everyone's best judgement as to whether you go out for a spin tonight. Let's try north and west for a change, returning over…
