Tuesday B Ride, August 9 6:30 pm
This is my first Tuesday B ride but I expect you all have a handle on how this works. Average speed is 34 km/h so it’s fast but not insane. Insane has its place but not on this ride. It’s a no-drop so we’ll keep an eye out. After the Watsonberg you can ride it…

Tuesday A Aug 9th hammerfest | 6:30pm
Slightly shorter route due to the sun slowly dying. We’ll do a loop up and through Elora and Fergus, and end up with the sun setting behind us. Please respect all stop signs, especially through the populated areas!

Sunday August 7, @9am medium/long combined

At Campbellville Road the like minded riders will separate for either an enjoyable espresso at the flying monkey or take on a hill climbing challenge. Long riders will turn left at Campbellville Road and take on an…

August 4th, Thursday A/B rides | 6:30PM
Fun mid season ride with some good open stretches as well as hills. Should be a warm evening so bring lots of water with electrolytes. Rear flashing lights are recommended.

Wednesday Ride / August 3, 6:30pm
We all love hills right? Just made a quick edit to the route. We will still take on the Watsonberg and the Col de Watson.

Hammerfest August 2 Tuesday A 6:30 pm
This fast, flat dash to Puslinch Lake and back with a rare descent down the Col will be pushing 80kms and sunset is 8:40 pm. So bring lights for the ride home. Will need to shorten these things soon. A brisk 40 km/h average should get us home on time. No problem.

Tuesday August 2, 6:30pm Light hammerfest

Wednesday Ride | July 27th 6:30 PM
Ride is on! Looks like another nice evening after a warm day with temperatures dropping later on. The route takes us south and west through Hespler. EC says gentle west wind with a ‘low’ potential for rain at 8:00. A great weather web site to see what’s coming is one for radar over Michigan. Drivers…

Tuesday B | July 26th, 6:30 pm start
Heading south for a tour around Puslinch Lake, and covering some nice stretches of road that we’ve rarely (if ever) ridden… I know, it’s exciting. Note the 2k gravel section between Victoria and Gordon, and be prepared to exercise extra caution as we negotiate the intersection of Maltby and Hanlon Pkwy.

Hammerfest Tuesday A July 26 6:30pm

July 24th Sunday combined ride | 9am
Since most people are either on vacation, bike racing, or off at hippy-fest, we’ll do a combined ride. The heat is going to be a factor, so we’ll do this 106k loop and keep it sensible, with a halfway stop in Erin. We can get donuts at the bakery, and we really owe The Forks…

July 21st Thursday A/B rides | 6:30PM
Ride is on. If it does rain, it won’t be until at least 8, at which point you might actually like it. Who doesn’t love 4th line? It’s going to be a hot one! There is always water at the church in Arkel if you need it at the end, so don’t go thirsty.
