Sunday Medium Ride Cancelled
Snow, gusts of wind up to 40km/h and a wind chill of -3 makes for a miserable ride. Weather is a little better this afternoon so put your onesie back on, hop into bed then go for a spin after lunch. Well………not sure if this ride will pan out. However, if there is no snow,…

Sunday, May 15th long ride | 9:00 am start – CANCELLED
RIDE CANCELLED – Sub-zero windchill, gusting winds, and bands of light snow on the radar… wouldn’t make for a super-enjoyable day in the saddle.

May 10 – Tuesday A Ride 6:30 p.m. (The Hammerfest)
Heading west this time. Hammerfest enthusiasts will appreciate the flat parcours with the exception of the Watsonberg kicker to sort things out in the final. It’s not a race is it? No, it’s not. See ya Tuesday.

Tell your mother you love her and come spend a few hours in the saddle with us. We’ll do a slightly shorter long ride so that people can be back in good time and still be refreshed enough to join in on Mother’s day festivities. This ride takes a roundabout route to Rockwood where we…

Thursday May 5th rides | 6:30pm
Again, please note the 6:30 start time. Easy to remember route for the A and B groups: Watson, 15th, 6th line, and 25th. Let’s try to focus on keeping a good formation on the road, rotating smoothly and tight-to-the-right. The forecast looks good!

Wednesday, May 4th ride | 6:30 pm start
NOTE the later, 6:30 pm start! Straightforward route that features a good stretch of 2nd Line, a spin through Moffat, and—for the first time on a 2016 Wednesday—the dreaded Watsonburg! Remember your lights, membership cards, and smiles… looks to be a nice night for a ride.

Tuesday B: May 3, 6:30pm
A trip out to 6th line-the easy way. Note the later start time of 6:30pm. There’s still a bit of sand on 25th side road so we’ll take it easy through there on our way out. As always, bring your lights just in case.
