    The weather forecast has completely turned around, it’s looking very pleasant for the ride. A start of 17 degrees and a finish of 24 with very little wind. We should be home in time for lunch! Wilson Flats is in the mix and so is a jaunt through Elora Gorge Park. Fear not, we won’t…

  • Sunday Medium Moderate Road Ride | May 15 8 AM

    I like riding my bike. I like looking at bikes in bike stores. I like coffee. I like riding down really big hills instead of riding up them (though that can be fun, too.) I like the Ellis Chapel and I like finishing a ride with an (expected) tailwind. I like that, apparently, it’s summer…
