CANCELLED: Wednesday Coached Gravel Session #1 | April 3rd 6:00PM
Calling this one early so you can make other riding arrangements. Strong winds, heavy rain and quickly dropping evening temps is not the experience (most of us) were hoping for. We’ll pick this session up next week. See you there! Welcome to the first in a series of coached Gravel training sessions for GCC! Coached…

Sunday Gravel Ride | November 5 11:00 AM (Standard time!)
Update: We are starting at 11:00 AM. We haven’t been down to the lovely Hilton Falls trails for awhile, so here’s a bit of an out-back to get there. Trying to keep the distance reasonable, as although it’s going to be a relatively nice day for November, as many of you know, I am a…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 22nd 11:00 AM
Update #2: I have posted the new shorter (50k) and more sheltered route. We will be doing quite a bit of in-town trails again, but I’ve tried to make some changes and add some new stuff from last week’s ride. With much disappointment, we have cancelled the planned BGR#2 up in Beaver Valley. It’s just…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Sept 24th 9:00AM
It’s looking like a cool morning, so we’ll start at 9 to let it warm up a bit. We’ll be hitting all the favourites south of Guelph, and for the first time this year we go through Valens. There will be a coffee stop at the Danish Place, bring some money for that. Tail lights…

Sunday Gravel Ride ERIN | September 01 9:00AM
Another remote start! It’s only a short drive to ride some awesome, and rather hilly gravel roads. Meet at the back parking lot (near the tennis courts) behind Center 2000 in Erin for a 9-am start. The route is a bit shorter than typical, but don’t be fooled, it’s to compensate for the elevation gains.…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 27th 9:00 AM
Saturday night has an overnight low of 7 degrees – chilly willy! We will be starting at 9 am to give the morning an extra hour to warm up for us. On this route, we are mashing together a few old favourites with a coffee stop in Elora. Bring money for that. Tail lights are…

Sunday Gravel Ride GUELPH| Aug 20th 8:00 AM
For those of you who don’t have all day to ride hills, here’s a local route; you’ll just have to self-organize at the start. Bring money for a coffee stop at the Bank Cafe in Fergus, and tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.…

Sunday Gravel Ride CREEMORE| Aug 20th 9:15 AM
We are heading to Creemore for a good hilly ride! We went last year, wore ourselves out and had a blast! After the ride we’ll have a late light lunch in Creemore before we head back to Guelph. Here are the details… Please sign up for the ride early – this will help immensely with…

Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 16 6:00PM
Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 16 6:00PM Hey y’all. It’s looking like this might be my last lead for the season. That said I’m tapped out for a short, creative route that you haven’t done already. The route for this is one that I often use for Dawn Patrol rides, but it perfect for a…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 23rd 8:00AM
A bit of a different take on an Elora-Fergus trip, we’ll stop in Elora just before the halfway point for coffee. We can stop again in Fergus for liquids if needed. Looking like a great forecast! Bring money for a coffee stop and tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 9th 8:00AM
We’re going to do the Laskonian route to Hillsburgh. It’s a nice mix of gravel road and rail trail, with a few heart-pumping hills to help prepare those of us doing the Reggie Ramble next week (what … taper?!) We’ll stop at the Quick Pick convenience store in Hillsburgh for some yummy (OK .. tolerable)…
