Sunday Gravel Ride | October 10th, 9:00 am
Weather prediction is warm. Should be around 17 degrees at 9 am. This ride is a wee bit shorter to allow for the long weekend commitments people need to get back for. We should easily be back by noon. There will be a halfway stop at the Lost & Found Cafe in Elora. Be sure…

Sunday Oct 10th road rides | 11am start
The long term forecast looks decent, 21 degrees and overcast. Perfect 🙂 We’ll head to Dundas to check out the resurgence of Cafe Domestique 2.0, now located at King and Foundy St: This cafe has always been a great supporter of local cycling, so let’s give back! This ride is open to SRCC members only. If…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 3 @ 9:00am
RIDE CANCELLED: Yeah, big surprise. Hopefully, everyone got out yesterday when the weather was glorious. As I post this, the weather for this Sunday is looking grim, so this is not likely going to happen. Just in case, here’s this weekend’s combined gravel ride. We’re supposed to be starting at 11AM this time of year…

Sunday September 19th Combined Gravel Ride 9 AM
This ride continues on the theme started last week – farms, wind turbines and…. more farms! Anyway, we’ll head up Jones Baseline as far as we can and then do a tour of some more roads north of Belwood. Another stop for butter tarts followed by a slightly circuitous way home – and no bike…

No Sunday Road Ride This Week
The official Sunday road ride is taking this week off as it begins its taper towards next week’s Big 100 (Sign up here. It is going to be epic…). For those of you who would still like to head out on what promises to be a nice day for riding, here’s a suggested route that…

Sunday Road Ride | Sept 12 @ 8:00am
UPDATE: Ride is on. There is a chance of light rain. This is a recreational “Century Ride” (27 kph average speed) with an extended “Climber’s Edition” at pace (30 kph average speed). Both versions include a coffee/butter tart stop in Carlisle, but who will arrive first? Care to place a wager? If you haven’t done…

Huh, This is tricky but I think I’ll call it and say the ride is ON. We might have light rain so maybe bring a rain jacket. UPDATE: Because the weather forecast iffy, the final call will be made at 7AM on Sunday. Here is a scenic route to explore the countryside around Belwood Reservoir.…

Thursday Advanced Rides | September 9th @ 6:00 pm
*** Post ride Gathering at Fixed Gear Brewing (20 Alma St) *** It will be chilly for this ride. Bring your warm kit and blinky lights! Sunset is 7:45. I have shamelessly borrowed Mathew’s route from last week and I shortened the A & B/C rides. If time is really an issue we can cut…

Come one come all to the last Wednesday evening club ride of 2021! The days are getting shorter, and so must the routes, but there is still plenty of light to get us home. Let’s end the season with cohesive riding and good communication (are you tired of hearing this yet?). There are three pace…

RIDE CANCELLED. Sept 7th, 6:00pm
RIDE CANCELLED. The rain might hit us as early as 7:15, and it’s going to be quite the downpour. That will be super dangerous if we’re out on the road, even coming back into town. An unofficial ride will depart at 6pm though, if you’re feeling lucky. Tuesday is the night of the week that…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Sept 5, 2021 @ 8:00am
RIDE IS ON!!! It looks kind of dark right now, but it’s going to be a great day for riding! And now for something a little different….. SRCC road riders are intimately familiar with the paved roads south and east of Guelph in the Halton region. However, just off the beaten track are a cornucopia…

Sunday Road Ride | Sept 5th @ 8:00am
Let’s make this one a Fritter run to the Copper Kettle in Waterdown. We’ll follow the rest stop with a nice Snake Rd descent and King Rd climb (exploring). We’ll come back through Kilbride and then make our way home up the usual roads. Ride starts at the east end library and ends near downtown…

Thursday Advanced Rides | September 2nd @ 6:00 pm
While the calendar page might have turned and arm warmers become more and more of a thing we still have enough daylight to squeeze in some weekday fun! At least for now… Boo. This southerly route carries on the now-familiar “avoid the chipseal” theme and as a special gift to those riding tonight we go…
