CANCELLED Seems enough people are away for the long Weekend and no one has signed up. I’m going to cancel this ride, and join another one myself 🙂*** This route is very similar to the Longer & Faster ride, but we lop off about 50km around the reservoir. We’ll leave…
Ack! its September already and the second last Thursday night ride. Let’s head north, get to experience the other end of Watson and admire the tall rows of corn. With the days getting shorter, not too long of a route and plenty of options to cut short, if needed. Note:…
We said we were done with these, but the crowd cried out for more… you asked for it, you got it! The limiting factor is that the sun sets at 7:57 pm… we can make that work! The weather is looking ideal for a gravel ride. Bringing lights is always…
OMG!! This is the second last scheduled TAM Ride! Sunset is now before 8:00PM… zoinkies Scoob! RIDE IS ON. Weather Update: According to EC the “Likelihood of precip is Low”. The ‘Eye Witness’ weather report (looking out the window) is better now and the radar indicates things will greatly improve…
Back by popular demand! There are a lot of new and incredible MTB trails in Guelph! Fast and flowy at Guelph lake and technical and demanding at Arkell Spring Grounds – we are super lucky to have such diverse options at our doorstep. We are also super lucky to have…
All of our GCC Sunday road ride leaders are off doing other things – how dare they put themselves first! : ) Anyway, we apologize, but there will not be any GCC road rides this Sunday, Aug 28th. If you’ve got one, grab your MTB and join the Big MTB…
I’m shamelessly stealing Ken’s route from last weekend that got rained out. We’ll do a combined ride, as some members might be headed to the BIG MTB ride instead. The forecast looks good! Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. GCC members only. To become a…
Update: With a severe thunderstorm watch still in place, a tornado warning on the go and some really annoying persistent rain happening right now I am going to cancel the official Thursday Advanced ride. It might clear up later, but on the other hand Environment Canada might issue a “severe…
It’s bucketing rain and the radar signals more on the way. Even if you wanted to join the soggy bum club, Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm alert. Hope you are inspired to join a weekend ride instead, check out the big MTB ride if you haven’t already! With…
What happened?? This is our last GCC Women’s Ride for 2022, and we will mourn the occasion by finishing (and starting) at the Fixed Gear Canteen, where, thanks to the OCA and ON Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture, we will enjoy some post-ride pizza and refreshments. We have…
So far the weather is looking good. This is the Late Season Route for the TAM Ride. It is shorter now the sun is setting earlier. It is very similar to the early season route but with a twist – we go up Col du Watson instead of down. It’s…
RIDE CANCELLED: There are several nasty blobs of weather headed this way. It could go either way, but I’m not keen on getting caught in a thunderstorm. I haven’t done any gravel rides to the north and east of town for quite some time. I was hoping to do that…
CANCELLED! Roads are still wet from the overnight/early morning rain and it is looking like we are in for more rain and thunderstorms. Go back to bed. Make a good breakfast. Clean the house. Bake. Knit. Zwift. Club ride is not happening. The goal of the ride is a casual…
RIDE CANCELLED. It looks like there’s a 50/50 chance we’d get wet early in the ride and radar suggests a large burst around 10:00 – 11:00 so airing on the side of caution and cancelling the ride. The weather is not looking good at this time so be sure to…
Hey you intermediate riders – where have you been the last couple of weeks? Come on out while you still can! And let’s head north while we still have enough daylight. Don’t be scared by the gravel indicated on the R4/R5 route – most of that is actually sweetly paved.…
Thursday Advanced Road Ride | August 18, 6:00 PM So here’s a classic route for a Thursday night. Heading east and then North. Innovation in route choices is not my forte… Anyway, the ride starts at 6 PM now and bringing lights is becoming more important as the days get…
