RIDE CANCELLED | Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | August 21st 8:00AM

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | Aug 18th 6:00 PM
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. There’s just a bit of…

Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 17th 6:00PM

Butter tarts in Belwood. Now that I have your attention, that’s gonna be what we’re eating at the midpoint of this ride. It’s a classic route up around north of Guelph – Lots of gravel roads, which is sort of the point of these rides… Additionally, we can adjust the distance based on what people…

Sunday Combined Ride 8 AM: All hail the mighty Dar
Dar’s Delights has been a staple in the metropolis of Moffat since I can remember. Hers is a unique combination, to say the least: fine baked goods – the doughnuts are simply outstanding – paired with a personality so curmudgeonly it borders on parody. And don’t ask to use the bathroom unless you want to…
