Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 1st 6:30PM
Wait, August? When did that happen? I’m shamelessly stealing Meg’s route from a while ago, because they’re usually pretty good đ We should have just enough daylight, and can shortcut fairly easily if we need to. It’s going to be another hot evening, so stay hydrated! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the…

DNR Ride | July 31st 6:00 PM
It’s looking like a nice evening for a ride! We did a south-east route for our first ride, so we’ll head north-east this time. A wee bit of hardpacked gravel on the way to Maryhill, and some G2G on the way home to keep us off the busier roads. I’m including a shortcut route for…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 25 6:30PM
