RIDE CANCELLED Thursday advanced ride: August 26, 6:00 pm
A severe thunderstorm watch for tonight means that the official club ride cannot run. However, the radar currently looks clear, so anyone who wants to ride unofficially (no ride leaders or strict pace groups) can meet at the library for 6:00 pm. This route gives us a little taste of both north and south roads…

Tuesday All-Members Ride, August 24th, 6:00pm
BEER and PIZZA! Now that I have your attention, it is time to celebrate the year of riding that almost wasn’t, but was. After each of our last three Tuesday rides we will be heading to our wonderful sponsor Fixed Gear Brewing on Alma St. for some post ride beverages and maybe pizza. Why not…

Sunday 08/22 Road, 8:00am
As long as the rain holds off, it should be a great (but hot) day for riding bikes! We’ll go on an adventure to explore the Escarpment south of us, before returning up some familiar roads. Bring lots of water, as it’s going to be hot! We have two options for stops: firstly at the…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 22nd, 8:00 am
This one is called Kissing Flormira Wilson for obvious reasons. It was rained out a month ago, but the forecast is looking favourable this time. If you’ve never been around the Floradale reservoir you’re in for a treat. We also cut through Edna and Daniel Martin’s Mennonite Maple Syrup farm with permission. Sorry, no Sunday…

Thursday Advanced Rides | August 19th @ 6:00 pm
Note that start time is now 6:00 PM thanks to the unfortunate fact that our days are getting shorter at an ever increasing rate. We should look at the bright side of things. If we lived in the tropics, we’d never be able to ride past 6/7pm. So, there’s that. The forecast is calling for…

Wednesday 08/18 Intermediate Social Ride, 6:00pm
New start time alert! Rides have moved to a 6pm start as daylight slowly fades away (booooo…). Looks like we may have a good chance of riding in clear weather tomorrow evening. Final call regarding the weather will be made no later than 5:00pm. This week we will have a slightly longer route for the…

Tuesday All-Members Ride, August 17th, 6:00pm
New start time alert! 6:00pm! Days are getting shorter and that means rides are shifting to 6:00pm for the rest of the year. Otherwise you’re in for the same TAM ride you’ve come to enjoy, the night of the week that all members can find a speed group they enjoy riding with! The route remains…

Sunday Gravel Ride | August 15, 2021
And now for something completely different. Well, not really, just leaning toward more singletrack 🙂 We’re doing a loop of Smith tract as a warm up, so bring your skills! Otherwise it’s some new roads and trails out near Acton, and a loop back through Hilton Falls. Should be perfect weather! Bakery stop in Acton…

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

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…
