Sunday Gravel Ride | November 5 11:00 AM (Standard time!)
Update: We are starting at 11:00 AM. We haven’t been down to the lovely Hilton Falls trails for awhile, so here’s a bit of an out-back to get there. Trying to keep the distance reasonable, as although it’s going to be a relatively nice day for November, as many of you know, I am a…

CANCELLED Sunday Road Tour | Oct 29 11:00 AM
Although the rain seems as if it will hold out, projected temperatures in the low-/mid-single digits do not make for a very enticing (or apparently popular!) ride. I am going to make an early call on this one, but I encourage everyone to join me spectating at the Big CX and cheering on our club…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | Oct 22 11:00 AM
Update: TWN predicts it to feel like 2c at 11am, windy, and as of 8:00 pm Saturday evening, there are no takers anyway; I’m calling this one off. A modified, more sheltered version of the gravel ride is happening, so have a look at that if you are interested. If the weather is acceptable –…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 22nd 11:00 AM
Update #2: I have posted the new shorter (50k) and more sheltered route. We will be doing quite a bit of in-town trails again, but I’ve tried to make some changes and add some new stuff from last week’s ride. With much disappointment, we have cancelled the planned BGR#2 up in Beaver Valley. It’s just…

Sunday Gravel | October 15 @ 10:00 – CANCELLED
CANCELLED -Looks like a brief period of rain at 10:00 and then steady from 12-2 🙁 So it turns out that I get take y’all out for another two wheeled adventure. It’s no easy task trying to offer new routes at this point in the season so I hope this one is at least a…

Sunday Road Tours | October 15, 10AM
Autumn has certainly arrived. With cooler temperatures and darker mornings I’ve opted for a later start. This weekend we will tackle the Kelso escarpment. Once up the east side on Steeles Ave and then, after a loop through Campbellville, Kilbride and the Bronte Creek valley under the eye of Mount Nemo, up the newly paved…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | October 8
We’ve enjoyed a director’s cut of summer weather so it’s hard to get too annoyed by a rain out on Great Pumpkin Sunday. But the forecast is cold, rainy and windy and that’s not a great combo for a road ride. With all that in mind, we’re just going to cancel the ride now and…

CANCELLED: Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 8 Hell-Naw
UPDATE 4:45pm Sat. TWN’s assessment of Sunday’s weather is still correct. Get an early start on eating turkey. After such a glorious week, it makes total sense that the weather would pull a 180 on us and turn to absolute crap. It might be me. As of Friday evening, Sunday is looking to be cold,…

Sunday Gravel Ride | October 01 9:30 AM
Sunday’s forecast looks spectacular, so we’ve planned a nice loop to the north side of the city. There will be a pit stop in either Fergus (indoor plumbing) or Belwood; to be be determined by a vote at the start (or maybe we do both). It is looking a bit chilly, so start time is…
