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…

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…

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…
