Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 25 6:30PM
Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 25 6:30PM Heading down my favourite roads towards Campbellville. It’s going to be a sunny, cool evening.

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | May 25th, 6:30pm
I quite enjoyed the newly (at least to me…) resurfaced Indian Trail so I thought I’d include it again in this week’s ride but going in the other direction. We will meander (at a Ride-Group-appropriate meandering speed) over to 6th line, then up and over 15 before a familiar finish up Watson with a few…
