Sunday Gravel Ride | May 25 9:00am

CANCELLED: Thursday Advanced Road Ride | May 22 6:30PM
Yup. Its unpleasant out there for anybody who’s not entirely crazy. See you hopefully on Sunday! Looking at the forecast for Thursday and I have to think that I’ve gone crazy and all the nice weather we’ve had was just a dream and it really is early March. 10C and rain? Ahhhh, nope! I’m taking…

CANCELLED: Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 22nd 6:30PM
There is no chance this is going to turn into a ride-able evening. Looks like next week should be better! The weather prediction looks dreadful, so it’s very likely this ride will get cancelled. As such, I’m not even bothering to post a route at this point – if things look more promising (no rain…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 18th, 9:00AM
Avoid Long Weekend driving madness and come ride the quiet gravel roads just out our backdoor. We head towards the best butter tarts anywhere in beautiful downtown Belwood Ontario.

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 15th 6:30PM
Looks like a lovely evening for a ride if the T-storms stay away. As anyone who was on last week’s ride learned, bringing lights is always a good idea. We should have enough daylight for this route though, which takes us down to the edge of the Halton Forest. Load the route on your bike…
