  • 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

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | June 1st 9:00am

    Edit: I’ve changed the route for this ride so you may need to update your version if you loaded it prior to Friday at 10:00pm. It’s looking like it will be a cool morning below 10 degrees, warming up to about 15, but no rain. We’ll start at 9:00am to let it warm up a…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | May 25 9:00am

    It’s been a soggy week but Sunday is looking promising. This should be a fun one, as we cover familiar ground to the south but in reverse of the usual, and throw in a couple of new sections, including a bit more of the notorious Lafarge Trail. We’ll be hitting up Little Tract, Twin Ponds,…

  • Sunday Gravel Ride | May 18th, 9:00AM

    Avoid Long Weekend driving madness and come ride the quiet gravel roads just out our backdoor. We head towards the best butter tarts anywhere in beautiful downtown Belwood Ontario. Bring money for that. You will still see lakes and cottages and be home in time for lunch. Tail lights are also a good idea. Load…
