Sunday Medium Paced Long Ride with Shorter Alternative
So, Scott and I have been working together to design a slower paced, social route that will include a medium distance and longer distance for those who want to ride at the 28 to 30 km/h pace. We have created a 120 km route with a stop in St George (which I keep hearing about…

Sunday Aug 26th long ride | 9am
Looks like overnight rain on Saturday, but it should clear up by Sunday morning (call will be made by 8am at the latest). A loop out near Limehouse, we can always add a few more kms around Oustic if necessary. It’s going to be a hot one in the afternoon!

Gravel + Shmutz on roads = 2x flats on bikes
Hi there, I am sharing this with the club in hopes that if we all take a bit of time to complete this survey we can make a difference. I have called in a couple of times (mostly concerning the stretch along Victoria Road and the one across York Road) only to be assured that…

Tuesday August 21st B Ride. 6:00 pm
I’m going to go ahead and call this one cancelled already. The rain has arrived and doesn’t look like it will be clearing out anytime soon. The folks at the weather network have our odds of riding at 10% tomorrow but what do they know! We can’t let the A ride have all the fun…

Tuesday A “Hammerfest” Aug. 21 – 6:00pm
RIDE IS CANCELLED. If the B-Ride is scared of rain and lightning, then so is the A-Ride (good choice Chris). Ride some zwift or hammer away Wednesday as the weather looks great. For starters, note the 6:00 time start. Yup, it is that time of year again. This is the 3rd time I have attempted…

Ride tonight cancelled
After reviewing as many radar screens as I can find I feel like we won’t be able to avoid the cells moving into our area, so I am bailing. If you do go have a safe ride. If anyone is interested in a ride Saturday please text me at 519-588-0021. Rubber side down, Vlad

Club TT #4 – Aug 15/18
The fourth and final TT of our 4 event time trial series is tonight, with first rider starting at 7:00pm! The August TT tends to produce some of the fastest times of the season, so why not put all that training you’ve been doing this summer to the test? For 2018: We will be using…

Aug. 15 Social Ride
For a ride which promises to be hot, I think that we should head for somewhere with lots of greenery. Please being lots of your favorite cold liquid and lights, just in case. (Note: this is the last Wednesday Ride of this year with the 6:30 start time. Next week, rides start at 6:00.)

Tuesday B Ride | Aug 14, 6:30pm
Starting off following the A to pick up anyone who comes off early, we will then be turning back and making our way to 4th line but without the climb. Days are getting shorter so please bring lights.

Tuesday A Ride | Aug 14, 6:30pm
It looks like this will be the last chance to head over to 6th Line based on available daylight. If you have been riding a lot lately your tires may be getting worn. It’s a good idea to inspect them closely for any cracks or bulges and replace if necessary.

Sunday Long Ride, August 12th 9am
Let’s try this route again. We’ll head South on what should be some very scenic roads to Waterdown and explore a couple categorized climbs. We’ll stop for refreshments at the Copper Kettle Cafe in downtown Waterdown, before making our way back along First Line back to Arkell.
