  • Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 26 11:00 AM

    This may .. or may not … be our last Sunday gravel ride of the year. As many of you know, I am a California-girl-cold-weather-cycling-wimp, so am keeping it short, but am posting an additional map if anyone wants to extend their ride. There’s no coffee stop, but maybe some warm soup and cold beer…

  • CANCELLED: Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 19 10:00AM

    Cancelled – it’s just gonna be way too windy and probably rainy tomorrow for those open gravel roads getting to and from the Marsh. We may try again next weekend. Another remote (but not too remote) start, this time in Belwood. Dustin G has kindly offered to host a ride around Luther Marsh and a…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | October 5th 10:00am

    The weather is reverting back to summer this Sunday—at time of writing looks like it will be sunny, dry and over 25 degrees (don’t forget sunscreen!). For this ride, we’ll do a reversed and modified version of a route I put together in June that loops out to Fergus. This time we’ll head out towards…

  • CANCELLED: Sunday Gravel Ride | Sep 28 9:00 AM

    As of this morning, it’s only me, so this ride is cancelled! We weren’t scheduled to do a gravel ride this Sunday due to BIGMTB (plus Cowbell CX plus some bikepacking activity plus …). But, hey, methinks, I’m gonna ride and maybe somebody else wants to as well! Bring money for a coffee stop in…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | September 21st 9am

    Lets make the most of this beautiful fall weather and enjoy the changing fields and forests on this fun route, that has a little bit of everything. We’ll head towards Conestogo, then hop on the Avon and Heath Valley Trails into Saint Jacobs, where we’ll take the Mill Race trail to 3 Bridges Road and…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride CREEMORE | Aug 17th 9:30 AM

    We are heading to Creemore for a good hilly ride! We went the last three years, wore ourselves out and had a blast! After the ride we’ll meet up with the road riders for a late lunch and ride re-hash in Creemore (the Creemore Springs brewery or Old Mill House pub) before we head back…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | July 20th 8:00am

    At time of writing, the weather is looking good for this gravel ride. We’ll do a loop from Guelph out to Hillsburgh and back, stopping in Hillsburgh for a quick food & drink break. The food stop may be a gas station or grocery store depending on what is open. This route is mostly gravel…

  • CANCELED: Wednesday Gravel Ride | July 16 6:30PM

    As of 5:25 the radar is now indicating the chance of a thunder storm lessening, although it looks like we get rain starting at 7:00 and lasting the the rest of the ride. Given the low numbers on sign-up and my lack of desire to ride in the rain and muck for over an hour…

  • Wednesday Gravel Ride | July 2 @ 6:30PM

    Aside from the perpetual risk of summer afternoon thunderstorms, Wednesday evening is looking good for a gravel ride. Destination: Little Tract. The route is designed to minimize interactions with other trail users on busy trails and not go through anything badly overgrown – its a jungle out there this year and ticks abound! The short…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | June 29, 8:00AM

    Long weekend, long ride! Looks like the heat will be back for Sunday, so we’ll have an early start, hope to miss the worst of it, and be home in time to enjoy the day… or nap… then enjoy the day! This one has tastes of the BGR so if you missed it or loved…
