I do love this time of year, but I’m also very sad because this is the last official Thursday road ride for the 2023 season. It’s not all sad news though. We’ve still got one more Tuesday ride next week and we’ll be doing Sunday road and gravel rides until…
Squeezing in one more DNR ride before the evening-riding season ends. Special night, because it’s GCC’s oldest member’s birthday!!! All due respect please from those of you who have jut squeaked in to this elite group : ) . Keeping the ride on the short side, and free of single…
This is the penultimate TAM Ride of 2023, and the weather is looking reasonably agreeable at the time of posting. Be there! These are the Late Season Routes for the TAM Ride! See maps below for changes. These routes may seem similar to the early season routes, but the bottom…
The Road Tours this weekend head East towards Georgetown with a little bit of climbing for both the Tour and the Grand Tour groups. With a slightly later start at this time of year (cold mornings!) there is no cafe stop for the Tour group to get you home in…
Saturday night has an overnight low of 7 degrees – chilly willy! We will be starting at 9 am to give the morning an extra hour to warm up for us. On this route, we are mashing together a few old favourites with a coffee stop in Elora. Bring money…
**The radar has cleared up, looks like a nice evening to ride bikes** I’m going to steal borrow Sarah’s nice route from last week – lots of quiet roads and fresh pavement. Once again the forecast is uncertain, so please check back at 5 pm for the final call. Bringing…
Join us for the second last Speedway session of 2023! This week will be a mix of intervals on the oval and kart track. See below for more details. We ride on a closed circuit (no cars!) at the Flamboro Speedway that features a 500m oval and a technical course.…
It looks like we will have a clear weather window for tonights ride! There is a 30% chance of rain, increasing to 60% after 8:00pm, so I can’t promise you won’t get a little wet. Come prepared. Our route will take us over to the Nassagaweya area, where we we’ll…
UPDATE: Sorry gals, I’m pulling the plug. The roads are wet, and the radar is showing some light rain moving back in. Combined with the temperature, it wouldn’t be a pleasant ride. I swear that the Weather God is a misogynist (and definitely not a Goddess). Email me at meg@guelphcyclingclub.ca…
It’s Photo Day on this TAM Ride! Put on your best kit, shine up your bike and comb your hair! We’ve been waiting for some good weather and the prediction is looking good. Act natural (and safe) and pay no attention to the man with the long lens hanging out…
Sunday Road Tours | August 20 8:00 AM A ride to the north – what could be better? The group will zig-zag towards Fergus then up to Wellington Road 16 and Sideroad 20. The longer ride will then go to Grand Valley where we can stop for treats and maybe…
For those of you who don’t have all day to ride hills, here’s a local route; you’ll just have to self-organize at the start. Bring money for a coffee stop at the Bank Cafe in Fergus, and tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer…
We are heading to Creemore for a good hilly ride! We went last year, wore ourselves out and had a blast! After the ride we’ll have a late light lunch in Creemore before we head back to Guelph. Here are the details… Please sign up for the ride early –…
RIDE CANCELLED due to low sign up numbers and an ominous weather radar. See you next time! Welcome to the Tour de Fresh Pavement! Astute women may recognize much of this route from last week’s ride but, don’t worry, we will be riding it the opposite direction. Don’t forget about…
** UPDATE ** We might start dry but it still looks unlikely we’d finish that way. Hopefully the weekend brings clear skies! Looks like we’re getting a south wind, and I’ve planned a long stretch for us to enjoy it! We’re starting earlier (6:00pm) so we can get close to…
**WEATHER UPDATE** RIDE IS CANCELLED This week will be a mix of intervals on the oval and kart track. See below for more details. We ride on a closed circuit (no cars!) at the Flamboro Speedway that features a 500m oval and a technical course. Upon arrival, enter through the…
