Thursday Advanced Rides | Aug 5 @ 6:30pm
We’re going to start by going the easier way on Watson for a change before heading all the way out east to search for some chip seal free roads. The B and C groups will head back via Rockwood and Eden Mills while the A group follows a slightly more zig-zagging route to add in…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 1st, 8:00 am
RIDE CANCELLED due to wet forecast, or perhaps we should just say ‘postponed’. This ride will run on Monday August 2nd starting at the same time and location. Long weekends leave towns quieter than usual, which is an excellent time to take advantage of what’s in our own backyard. This route uses the best south…

Thursday Advanced Rides | July 29 @ 6:30pm
UPDATE: Radar looks clear, might be a little windy, but nothing we can’t handle. Ride is on. As seems to be a theme whenever I lead a ride, weather does not look great. Final call will be made by 5:30 pm. For tomorrow we will go back to simpler times when tires were 23’s at…

Sunday, July 25th Road Ride: 8am Start
Stealing James’ route from a couple of weeks ago, that got rained out: Sunday is looking like the perfect day to get on your road bike! If you’re new to riding east of town, this ~110k route is for you. We’ll start through Limehouse, descend Olde Base Line next to the Cheltenham Badlands, go up…

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.…
