Thursday Advanced Road Ride | August 3rd 6:30PM
This week we’ll be doing a fairly compact figure-of-eight on some classic roads to the southeast. Everyone knows a figure-of-eight is infinitely more fun than a boring loop (i.e., figure-of-zero), so you won’t want to miss this first Thursday ride of August! Days are getting shorter so it’s a good idea to bring lights! Load…

Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 2 6:30PM
Just a tiny section on road 124, there’s a decent shoulder though (and we have gravel bikes). Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The Speed Groups on this…

Sunday Road Tours | July 30th 8:00AM For the Grand Tour on Sunday, we’ll reprise most of the same route I rode on my first outing last year with GCC. We’ll head down towards Ancaster (it’ll be nice to see how it looks without 6 inches of mud on the ground) and then up towards…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 30 7:30AM Hey y’all. I’ve got something a little different for this edition of the Sunday Gravel ride. This week’s ride will offer two distances.

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 27 6:30PM
Since last Thursday’s routes were rained out, let’s try them again! There’s a splash of gravel, but it’s always lovely and totally rideable on road tires. There’s a heat warning on, so make sure you bring lots of water. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 27 6:30PM
Lets try these routes again this week since last week was a wash. We’ll head west towards Hespeler with one block of gravel for the B, C & D groups, across to Watson, and finish in Arkel. Right now the weather is looking pretty good but it will be hot and humid. Bringing lights is…

Cancelled, but we have another plan – read on Women Only Ride | July 26 6:30PM
Afraid there’s heavy rain moving in before 8PM, and we would get soaked. However, since we’ve freed up our evenings, we can still get together for some beer and pizza. 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…

Sunday Road Tours | July 23 8 AM
All my scheduled ride leads have been rained out this year so I’ve yet to wear my fancy new red jersey but Sunday’s looking pretty good, at least for now. If the weather turns dodgy, I’ll make a call by 7 a.m. but let’s stay optimistic. This route reverses one of my favourites through Rockwood…
