Cancelled, but we have another plan – read on Women Only Ride | July 26 6:30PM

New location: Meg’s covered porch at 5 Queen St. Come anytime after 6:30PM. We’ll have some beer and wine here and order some pizzas. Lorenz…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 23rd 8:00AM
A bit of a different take on an Elora-Fergus trip, we’ll stop in Elora just before the halfway point for coffee. We can stop again in Fergus for liquids if needed. Looking like a great forecast! Bring money for a coffee stop and tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 13 6:30PM

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 13 6:30PM
This week’s rides will follow similar routes to last week’s cancelled ride. I chose last week’s courses mainly because I did what all good bike riders should do and limited my effort to the barest minimum required to achieve the goal of creating the needed courses, and also because there’s a chance again the weather…
