Heading out to Everton than down to Rockwood and back into Guelph. Looking for an average speed of 31 or so for the B group. Weather looks perfect for an evening ride.
Straightforward route heading up the back side of the ‘berg and Col de Watson, then coming back on Victoria to Maltby. Aiming to average ~28kph, and we’ll keep it all together. Head to the club’s monthly time trial tonight if you feel like pushing your limits!
UPDATE: Results now posted below. The third TT of our 4 event time trial series is this week, with first rider starting at 7:00pm! Note the schedule for the final event in the series: August 19 Time trials are a great way to test your fitness. It is a race…
The clouds are breaking so the ride is on. Bring your lights. We are taking a short ride through town to go west before heading south through Hespeler. Only a few short hills to keep our legs fresh for tomorrow’s TT.
RIDE IS ON. Looks like the clouds are clearing nicely, but there’s a small risk of some light rain en route, definitely some wet roads. Bring your blinkies just in case. Best of luck as well to those club members racing the Pan Am triathlon this weekend! Women on Saturday, men…
With the Tour de Guelph tomorrow, there will just be the one group on the ride tomorrow (A & B groups effectively combined):
Thursday ride heading out for the 6th line climb. Hopefully no or minimal chip seal!

5pm – Ride is on. NOTE THE ROUTE CHANGE. Since weather is so iffy tonight, Guelph lake loops to allow for cutting short at any time. 8pm looking like raintime.
Ride is cancelled. Radar shows rain continuing for the next few hours. Looks like things will clear later so enjoy a ride then.
Ride cancelled due to rain.
RIDE IS ON! Might be the odd scattered shower out there, but the radar looks mostly clear. Let’s ride bikes! The classic Elora – Fergus loop, with a couple of slight deviations. We’ll take the run up Victoria single-file, as we will the brief stretch on 124. Here’s what’s playing at…
I just wanted to warn people that there is fresh chip seal on Arkell road between First Line and Puslinch (800 m). We’ll slow down and allow greater distance between riders. We’ll go North and East this week for a nice hilly course.
