RIDE IS ON!!! There’s rain forecasted around 11am. We’re rolling out as planned, but may shorten the ride to avoid getting too wet. 60-70k is better than no K. Also, Kevin bought a fancy new rain jacket he wants to try out.
It’s Paris/Ancaster weekend, and its going to be amazingly warm with temperatures in the mid-20’s. However, mud sucks so we’re doing our own ride that won’t wreck our precious bikes. We’ll start from the YMCA on Kortright. We’ll skirt the edge of Cambridge and down to Ayr. We’ll stop at Timmy’s for a break before the return ride home. The SW wind should give us a nice push! The Medium ride length is only 11k shorter than the Grand Tour this week and the breakpoint is well past the half-way point near Cambridge. I imagine people won’t mind so much with the warm weather.
Bring money for a coffee stop and tail lights are a good idea.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
