Sunday Gravel Ride | April 21 11:00AM
*NOTE CHANGE TO G3 ROUTE*
I know a lot of GCC members are signed up to participate at the annual Paris to Ancaster (P2A) race next weekend. I also know some have been training hard for months, and some have just recently topped up their tires. Either way, this week’s gravel session offers a taste of what you can expect from yourself at the big race. There is a 106km route for G1, a 73km route for G2 and G3, and a 45km route for G4. Prepare for a non-stop ride by bringing sufficient hydration and nutrition, and be sure to dress appropriately for the weather. I promise my future ride leads will have coffee and snack stops again 😉
Be sure to check back here before Sunday morning for any updates.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined.
The Speed Groups on this ride are:
| Cat | Name | Average Speed |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | Fast | 26+ kph |
| G2 | Advanced | 24-26 kph |
| G3 | Intermediate | 22-24 kph |

All rides need a minimum of 3 members signed up in order to officially run. If a ride has the required number of riders, but no Group Captain riding with them, that group ride will be considered cancelled. The group can decide among themselves to hold an ‘unofficial’ ride and follow the route. All group riders take it upon themselves to know the route and are responsible for their own safety.
