Weather was looking good at the time of this posting. The plan for the Sunday Tours this weekend will be to head S/W to some lesser travelled but very nice roads past the Pioneer Memorial Tower and a Grand River crossing. The groups will split just after Doon Valley Golf Course and the Tour will end up noodling back to Guelph for an 82k ride (rest stop in Hespeller at The Bishop’s Brew Cafe), while the Grand Tour will carry on to Ayr (rest stop). Once past Ayr, there will be some looping around the Glen Morris area to hit some great roads down there. Both groups officially end at FGB on Alma, but folks are welcome to split off as we get back into Guelph. Special attention to the start location this weekend for all the east enders!! We are rolling from the west end Zehrs on Paisley at 8am.
As usual, 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.
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.
Ride groups will be:
| Name | Distance | Average Speed |
|---|---|---|
| Grand Tour | Longer Ride | 29-31 kph |
| Tour A | Medium Length Ride | 29-31 kph |
| Tour B | Medium Length Ride | 27-29 kph |
