** The radar is looking clear and the sky in brightening up… the ride is on! ** It’s already August… where does the time fly? Tonight going we’re going to do a loop through Crief and Little Lake, hoping to catch a bit a tailwind home. Speaking of flying – if you’ve been riding R4…

CANCELLED: Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 3rd 6:30PM
UPDATE: Ride is officially and completely cancelled… The TORNADO Warning that was just issued is the icing on the cake. We don’t recommend anyone going out. We do need the rain… pretty sure we don’t need the tornado. We’re going north! This route takes us through some old and familiar territory we haven’t visited for…

Sunday Longer & Faster Road Ride | July 31, 2022: 8:00 am
Let’s try this again! Great weather in the forecast and an even better route. We’ll cover a few of the same roads from this Thursday’s ride, but in the opposite direction, which basically means they’re completely different roads… It’s a classic for a reason! A beautiful loop through Fergus, Elora, and Hespeler, featuring the Kissing…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 28 6:30
Another Thursday ride, another thunderstorm risk. However, as an unofficial GCC meteorologist, I am willing to bet this ride will go ahead. If you’ve been riding R4 and have been feeling inspired to surge away from the group, please mosey on over to R3, where you can put that extra energy to excellent use (see…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 28, 6:30 pm
The advanced groups head out to Maryhill tonight, and if the forecast holds we should have a nice tailwind back into town. The routes are on the long side, but in the unlikely (!?!) event of mechanicals, etc., the rides can be shortened at any point after Chilligo Rd. There is one extended gravel section…

RIDE CANCELLED: Sunday Longer & Faster Road Ride | July 24, 2022: 8:00 am
This is a tough one… Looking up at the sky, it feels like the rain will hold off and we could have a really nice ride. But the radar looks pretty definitive that we have a rain-filled morning in our future, really heavy at times, which is less than ideal… So I am going to…

RIDE DELAYED: Sunday Gravel Ride | July 24th 8:00AM
Last Update: New departure time is 12:30 PM from GYMC. Radar is all over the road. My Vancouver friends say that if you choose not to ride because of the threat of rain, you will never ride. And so we ride. First Update: Rain was forecast, but things seem to be changing (we really do…

RIDE CANCELLED: Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | July 24 8 AM
RIDE CANCELLED: There is a “Special Weather Statement” that says heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible this morning and the radar is a sea of green and yellow. Oh well, I suppose we need the rain… The quality and potential enjoyment of any given ride is defined by many things: the route, the weather, your…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 21st @ 6:30pm
Tonight’s Advanced ride should play into the breezier forecast at the start as we head up toward Oustic and down through Everton before returning to Arkell once the winds have died a little?? We’re also a month past the longest day of the summer, so it’s getting harder to push the distances and still make…

Wednesday 20th, 2022. 6:30 PM GRAVEL RIDE!!!
RIDE CANCELLED. Sorry everybody but the weather radar looks unfavorable and nobody wants to ride with half a kilogram stone dust in their shorts if it can be avoided. So the weather forecast is a bit iffy for this ride. Hopefully it works out but to be honest, we certainly could use the rain… The…
