Sunday Gravel Ride | July 25th, 8:00 am
RIDE CANCELLED Slick mucky trails and a few other compounding factors have led to the cancellation of this ride. We’ll try this route another time. The road ride is still on. This is a slightly longish one but has a perfectly placed snack stop halfway in Elmira. If you’ve never been around the Floradale…

Thursday Advanced Rides | July 22 @ 6:30pm
I spent hours perusing maps, test driving segments and consulting with pro racers to come up with this never-before-seen, no-this-isn’t-a-blatant-rip-off-of-last-Thursday’s-cancelled gem of a ride. This is totally my creation. The B & C groups will do a nice loop out on SR 15, down Dublin line and back through Eden Mills with a final push…

Tuesday All-Members Ride: July 20th 6:30pm
Our team of local amateur meteorologists is convinced that the rain we just got is all we will be receiving. Clip that fender on, and see you at 6:30. 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…

Sunday 07/18 Gravel- 8:00am
A slightly different route for this weekend’s Gravel sampling. We’ll head northeast along some of the familiar roads of last year’s Big Gravel Ride. Then we’ll turn north and hit the rail trail heading into Fergus, with a slight detour to the Belwood Country Market for a refreshment stop (butter tarts highly recommended!). We’ll then…

CANCELLED Thursday Advanced Rides | July 15th @ 6:30 pm
UPDATE #2: Severe thunderstorm watches from Environment Canada and official club rides do not mix well. It’s possible that things will stay clear and you might be able to muscle your way through the 50kph winds this evening on a solo ride, but there will be no grand depart from the East End Library today.…

CANCELLED Tuesday All-Members Ride: July 13th, 6:30pm
Well the weather is much better than expected, and the radar looks clear, but with a severe thunderstorm watch hanging over our heads I have no choice but to cancel the ride. Stay safe if you choose to still ride, and remember tomorrow is an option for a more relaxed pace, and Thursday is an…

CANCELLED – Sunday, July 11th Road Ride: 8am Start
Did I jinx it by calling it the “perfect day” in my post? Maybe. It doesn’t look like it will rain all day, but there’s a good chance that it will when we would be on the ride. Sit tight, watch le Tour, and get out there later in the day if you can. Sunday…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 11th, 8:00 am – Guelph Youth Music Center
<—- I think James did jinx it… Weather radar looks like rain this morning so ride is cancelled. This weekend’s intermediate ride will be a tour of the landscape north of Belwood lake. Quiet roads, lots of farms and tons of gravel – what more could one want? We’ll have a rest stop at the…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 4th, 8:00 am
A chilled plate begins this multi course affair with an amuse bouche of G2G followed by some Wilson Flats. The meat and potatoes of the ride are grass fed and northern, pairing well with Carroll’s Creek’s eau de swamp. We’ll then sample a midway snack (literally) at The Right Spot in Alma. Irvine Bridge is…
