  • Sunday Gravel Ride | July 2nd 8:00AM

    Weather Update: Ride is on! Radar says rain will hit Guelph after we head north toward Alma and be gone by the time we get back. Wishful thinking? Maybe. Have a look here and make your own decision. But as there are no official weather warnings at this time from environment Canada, we’re good to…

  • Sunday Road Tours | July 2nd 8:00AM

    This holiday weekend’s rides will take us out toward Winston Churchill Blvd. The medium tour will turn on 6th Line and begin the journey home.

  • Thursday Speedway Coached Session | June 29th 6:00PM

  • Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 28th 6:30PM

    We’ll go wheeee all the way (up then) down Watson before heading west and hitting all the lovely new(ish) pavement on Conc Rd 7, Conc 2, Ellis Rd and Conc Rd 4. This is my atonement for the cobblestones I took us on last week! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route…

    Last Thursday in June, let’s ride! This week’s loop will head in a clockwise direction to the south, with the official end point on Kortright just past Hwy 6. 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.…

  • Women Only Ride | June 28 6:30PM

    UPDATE: Ride cancelled. The AQHI has actually gone down, but it seems to have scared everyone away and we only have 3 women signed up. We’ve decided the more ladylike thing to do is drink strawberry daquiris on the porch. Note: We will have to cancel the official ride if the AQHI is 7 or…

  • Tuesday All Members Ride | June 27th 6:30PM

    WEATHER UPDATE: Ride is On! Christmas has come early… the holes on Mountsberg road have been filled in! Oh, we are so easily pleased. But don’t get too complacent… when you round the corner heading north onto Centre road, that section of road is still potholed. That was clearly not on the order for the…

  • Sunday Tour de Guelph Road Ride | June 25th 7:30AM

Let’s fully enjoy this almost longest day of the year! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route on…

  • Thursday June 22nd Advanced Road Ride 6:30PM

    Thursday Advanced Road Ride | June 22nd 6:30PM So this is a classic route heading east and then north – nothing too innovative or novel. Dublin line can be rough in some patches so be careful. Watch out for wildlife and livestock and try to keep the shiny side up. Official ride will end on…

  • Wednesday Gravel Ride | June 21 6:30PM

    It’s a little overdue but it’s finally happening. My first ride lead!!! My last ride lead was bumped for the BGR, and for my previous ride lead to that I was injured. I’m looking forward to taking you out to a gravel circuit I used all winter when I didn’t want to end up too…

  • Sunday Road Tours | June 18, 8:00am

    Why can’t a bicycle stand up on its own? Because its two tired! When is a bicycle not a bicycle? When it turns into a driveway. Come join me this Sunday for a ride to celebrate Father’s Day. It’s looking like we will have great weather for a tour to Kitchener’s Woodfire Cafe on Lancaster…
