RIDE CANCELLED: Sunday Longer & Faster Road Ride | July 24, 2022: 8:00 am
This is a tough one… Looking up at the sky, it feels like the rain will hold off and we could have a really nice ride. But the radar looks pretty definitive that we have a rain-filled morning in our future, really heavy at times, which is less than ideal… So I am going to…

RIDE DELAYED: Sunday Gravel Ride | July 24th 8:00AM
Last Update: New departure time is 12:30 PM from GYMC. Radar is all over the road. My Vancouver friends say that if you choose not to ride because of the threat of rain, you will never ride. And so we ride. First Update: Rain was forecast, but things seem to be changing (we really do…

RIDE CANCELLED: Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | July 24 8 AM
RIDE CANCELLED: There is a “Special Weather Statement” that says heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible this morning and the radar is a sea of green and yellow. Oh well, I suppose we need the rain… The quality and potential enjoyment of any given ride is defined by many things: the route, the weather, your…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 21st @ 6:30pm
Tonight’s Advanced ride should play into the breezier forecast at the start as we head up toward Oustic and down through Everton before returning to Arkell once the winds have died a little?? We’re also a month past the longest day of the summer, so it’s getting harder to push the distances and still make…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 21 6:30 pm
Come on out and enjoy more pleasant temperatures tonight and even a tailwind on the way home. We’ll be heading to Cambridge and beautiful Chilligo Road, with the R4 and R5 groups adding a loop on Concession 2. The over-60 set will recognize much of the route from Meg’s DNR ride a few weeks back.…

Wednesday 20th, 2022. 6:30 PM GRAVEL RIDE!!!
RIDE CANCELLED. Sorry everybody but the weather radar looks unfavorable and nobody wants to ride with half a kilogram stone dust in their shorts if it can be avoided. So the weather forecast is a bit iffy for this ride. Hopefully it works out but to be honest, we certainly could use the rain… The…

Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | Month Day Time
We’ve all been avoiding it. Time to visit Rattlesnake once again. Oh come on, it’s not so bad. It makes you a better rider. Quick stop at the corner store in Campbellville, then cruise home. Stay hydrated, it looks like a decently warm one. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 17 8:00am
This is one of my personal favourite gravel rides that takes us on the winding trails of Kitchener/Waterloo. Its a whole lot of fun and there will be several times where you’ll say “I had no idea this was here!” or “NOW I know where we are!” We’ll start at the usual spot by the…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 14 6:30pm
We’ve tacked on some extra Ks to the DNR route that ran a couple of weeks ago. This route has a small one block section heading north on Downey – single file along there. And we have a small detour through a Ward 4 Burb because of the Speedvale closure. R2 & R3 lets focus…

Dundas Valley/Mineral Springs/Sulphur Springs/Ancaster/Waterdown – We haven’t made it all the way down there yet this year for one reason or another. This Sunday looks like the day to do it.
