Sunday Not-the-P2A Gravel Ride | April 28th 9:00 AM
Ride is on – we can turn back if it gets too yucky. I am offering a local gravel ride for the few of us who chose to not spend a bunch of money (more than the annual GCC membership fee!) to ride a not particularly scenic route with a couple thousand other people :…

Sunday Road Tours | April 28 9:00AM
RIDE IS ON!!! There’s rain forecasted around 11am. We’re rolling out as planned, but may shorten the ride to avoid getting too wet. 60-70k is better than no K. Also, Kevin bought a fancy new rain jacket he wants to try out. It’s Paris/Ancaster weekend, and its going to be amazingly warm with temperatures in…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | April 25 6:00PM
Weekday road rides have been back for over a week, that means its time for us to visit the Watsonberg from the south. We’re doing a big clockwise loop first by heading out over to 5th line through some of my favorite chicanes on 30th Side Road. Then a bit jumping back and forth between…

Sunday Gravel: P2A Prep
Sunday Gravel Ride | April 21 11:00AM *NOTE CHANGE TO G3 ROUTE* I know a lot of GCC members are signed up to participate at the annual Paris to Ancaster (P2A) race next weekend. I also know some have been training hard for months, and some have just recently topped up their tires. Either way,…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | April 18 6:00PM
Welcome to the inaugural Thursday road ride of the 2024 season! This ride will jog your memory of the last Thursday road ride of 2023, because we’re following mostly the same route! Last time, several people loaded the wrong route which resulted in some missed turns. I won’t name names (*cough cough* KEVINKOOLE *cough*) but…

Hopefully the weather will cooperate but its a bit of wet forecast, so don’t forget to check back here in case of a cancellation. Bringing…

CANCELLED: Wednesday Coached Gravel Session #1 | April 3rd 6:00PM
