  • Sunday, August 15th Road Ride – 8am Start

    It’s looking like a great day to stretch our legs and enjoy some of the classics: River Road between Fergus and Elora, Middlebrook down to the West Montrose Covered Bridge, and Crowsfoot. We’ll end with the almost Europe-feeling Maryhill and Chilligo roads. Bring snacks; we can make a brief pit stop to fill up our…

  • Thursday Advanced Rides | August 12th @ 6:30 pm

    This route quickly became one of my favourites after having ridden it for the first time a couple of years ago. It has a little something for everyone: a power climb and a punchy climb sandwiching a nice smooth flat section along 7th line. We then head up the Sammon Run in Rockwood before finishing…

  • Wednesday Intermediate Ride A, B, & C | August 11th, 6:30PM

    RIDE CANCELLED With a thunderstorm watch in effect we will need to cancel tonight’s ride. If the rain holds off and there are no funnel cloud warnings…we will be doing our social this Wednesday! Final call will be made by 5:30. This week we will have a slightly longer route for the A group and…

  • SRCC Big Gravel Ride 2021!

    Updated Route as of Saturday Night. Small change at the the very beginning and very end due to construction in Howitt Creek Park. The route is now 6km shorter. See below. We’re doing it again! Back by popular demand, the SRCC Big Gravel Ride! And like before, we guarantee there will be sections that are…

  • Tuesday All-Members Ride, August 10th, 6:30pm

    New route alert! A pleasant detour at the southernmost point on the ride and a new finish along Arkell Rd distinguish this route from the last. Riding south down Watson tends to be easier than riding north on it, too 🙂 Tuesday is the night of the week that all members can find a speed…

  • Sunday Road Ride | August 8th @ 8:00am

    The ride plan for this Sunday Road Ride is a 110km route out toward Glen Williams, but then we’ll loop back for a bit of an attack on the escarpment climbing Steeles and Rattlesnake!! (There is an option to skip Rattlesnake if needed). We’ll be leaving from the east end library at 8am and will…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | August 8, 2021

    This is the second annual SRCC Gravel Ride Through K/W. We did this ride almost exactly a year ago with Rich “I Ooze Gravel” Lyle as fearless ride leader. We were riding towards some VERY dark skies, but the weather got scared by our resolve and determination and it stayed clear of us. All the…

  • Thursday Advanced Rides | Aug 5 @ 6:30pm

    We’re going to start by going the easier way on Watson for a change before heading all the way out east to search for some chip seal free roads. The B and C groups will head back via Rockwood and Eden Mills while the A group follows a slightly more zig-zagging route to add in…

  • Wednesday Intermediate Ride: August 4th, 6:30 pm

    It looks like I won’t have to spend my entire afternoon refreshing the weather radar this time. Plenty of sunshine ahead but the days are getting shorter: it’s now or never for some of our longer routes. As usual, the focus will be on cohesive riding and good communication. There are three pace groups for…

  • Tuesday All Members’ Ride, August 3rd, 6:30pm

    Enjoying the TAM rides? Great! Let’s enjoy the route one more time, as it’ll be changing soon! Tuesday is the night of the week that all members can find a speed group they enjoy riding with! The route will remain the same for several weeks in a row, giving an opportunity for riders to see…

  • Sunday August 1st Road Ride 8:00 AM

    Ride cancelled due to weather and low numbers. See y’all next week! This ride is going to take us north to Grand Valley and surrounding countryside. Weather forecast looks middling at best so the final call will be at 7:00 AM on Sunday. As usual, there is the signup routine and remember that we meet…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 1st, 8:00 am

    RIDE CANCELLED due to wet forecast, or perhaps we should just say ‘postponed’. This ride will run on Monday August 2nd starting at the same time and location. Long weekends leave towns quieter than usual, which is an excellent time to take advantage of what’s in our own backyard. This route uses the best south…

  • Thursday Advanced Rides | July 29 @ 6:30pm

    UPDATE: Radar looks clear, might be a little windy, but nothing we can’t handle. Ride is on. As seems to be a theme whenever I lead a ride, weather does not look great. Final call will be made by 5:30 pm. For tomorrow we will go back to simpler times when tires were 23’s at…

  • Wednesday Intermediate Ride A, B & C – July 28th, 6:30PM

    It’s looking like another clear Wednesday evening. If necessary the go no-go will be posted no later than 5:30PM on Wednesday. We’ll be riding a route that got rained out back in early July for my inaugural ride lead. A & B groups ride the same route and there is a slightly shortened course for…

  • Tuesday All-Members Ride: July 27th 6:30pm

    Haven’t attended the TAM ride yet? Well what are you waiting for? Come on our to our most popular ride night of the week! Tuesday is the night of the week that all members can find a speed group they enjoy riding with! The route will remain the same for several weeks in a row,…

  • Sunday, July 25th Road Ride: 8am Start

    Stealing James’ route from a couple of weeks ago, that got rained out: Sunday is looking like the perfect day to get on your road bike! If you’re new to riding east of town, this ~110k route is for you. We’ll start through Limehouse, descend Olde Base Line next to the Cheltenham Badlands, go up…
