Thursday Advanced Road Ride | May 11th, 6:30pm
The weather robbed us of Andrew’s fine route last week so I thought I would run a (very) slightly modified version of it this week so we can all enjoy a trip down Dublin Line. The weather looks great so come out and ride! We should be fine in terms of sunset but it is…

Although the day started with a beautiful sunrise, we could no longer run from the weather forecast. Overcast, rain, and 9° Celsius: a charming day for a bike ride through…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | May 7 10:00 AM
UPDATE 9 AM CANCELLED: I see that a bunch of riders have already made the prudent decision and removed their names from the signup list (which was very helpful in making a decision, thank you.) Based on that, the radar map and the hell that was P2A still fresh in my mind, I’m canceling the…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 7, 9:00am
UPDATE: We have a new route due to the forecast. The weather system is moving in from the west and looking daunting, but exact timing is uncertain. We will employ the ‘Red October’ protocol of riding toward it, meeting it head on. This allows us to retreat in the dry when necessary. We might get…

CANCELLED Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 4 6:00 pm
Darn – I thought we might get away with this one. But there’s still a fair bit of rain on the radar and plenty of water on the roads (I learned the fallout of riding in a group when the roads are wet at P2A). Hope to see you all on another ride soon. At…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | April 30th 11:00AM
SURPRISE! RIDES CANCELLED. Nobody even signed up. Hope everyone is having “fun” at P2A. The weather sucked last weekend and this weekend looks even worse, if you can believe it. Regardless, we are posting this in the unlikely event that Environment Canada totally gets it wrong. A wise poet once wrote that April is the…
