Tuesday A HammerFest July 19 6:30pm
Something a little different this week. We did it last year, one of Bayden’s concoctions dubbed Megaloops, two of them about 21kms each. We may split into two groups and have one chase the other while it tries to elude capture. It’s fun, you’ll see, unless you were there last year then you already know.

Tuesday B |SPEEDFEST|July 12, 6:30 pm
This week we’ll be on the same course (less a few KMs) as the A ride setting a blistering/no-drop pace as we hopefully pick up some fallen heroes. Our aim will be to work as a team to set a pace that will challenge the stronger riders (by taking more turns on the front) but…

Thursday, July 7th A/B rides | 6:30 pm start
A back-loaded route that features the Col du Watson, Watson Rollers, and (newly repaved) Watsonburg in the final 14k. This will undoubtedly make for an animated A-ride finish, while the B-ride will take it all in steady, organized, attack-free stride. Note the 2k gravel stretch between Concession Rd. 4 and CR 34.
