Sunday Gravel Ride | May 7, 9:00am
UPDATE: We have a new route due to the forecast. The weather system is moving in from the west and looking daunting, but exact timing is uncertain. We will employ the ‘Red October’ protocol of riding toward it, meeting it head on. This allows us to retreat in the dry when necessary. We might get…

Sunday Gravel Ride | April 16th 10:00AM – New Start Time!
Welcome to the very first Sunday Gravel ride for 2023! The weather is looking much better than at the time of original posting. We are adjusting the start time to match the unseasonably warm weather. As always, we’ll start the year with slightly shorter routes and keep building as the season progresses, as does our…

Sunday Gravel Ride | November 6th 10:00AM
Note 10AM start due to the time change! Not one of my more adventurous routes, but (1) we haven’t been over the 3rd line snowmobile bridge for awhile, and (2) I went to a fair amount of trouble earlier this summer to obtain permission for GCC riders to use the driveway just south of Elora…

CANCELLED: Sunday Gravel Ride | September 25th 11:00AM
WEATHER UPDATE: Cancelled. Cold we can deal with, but cold and wet is just not pleasant. Things are looking a hair better, but it’s still raining and everything is saturated. No matter what, we will be gritty and wet, and therefore cold and miserable the whole ride. I hate cancelling, but you’re drive train and…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Sept 11 8:00am
Once again, we’re heading out to the copious amount of gravel roads NE of Guelph and making our way into Hillsburgh. Its going to be a spectacular day, so make sure you sunscreen up and bring lots of water. According to RWGPS, this route is 2/3 gravel, which is a good thing, since this is…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Sept 4th 8AM
RIDE IS ON! Its’ grey and overcast, but there is no rain according to the radar for sometime. It’s the Labour Day long weekend, or the ‘real’ start to the year as I like to call it. And if you were planning on avoiding driving amongst the crazed masses, this gravel ride might be just…

Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 31st 6:00pm
We said we were done with these, but the crowd cried out for more… you asked for it, you got it! The limiting factor is that the sun sets at 7:57 pm… we can make that work! The weather is looking ideal for a gravel ride. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the…

Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 17th 6:00PM
RIDE IS ON! WEATHER UPDATE: Weather is doing what we predicted just a bit slow. We may delay start for 15 minutes or so. LC It looks like a small storm cell should hit Guelph shortly after 5pm just past the deadline to cancel, but it looks clear behind that. There are no EC Weather…

RIDE DELAYED: Sunday Gravel Ride | July 24th 8:00AM
Last Update: New departure time is 12:30 PM from GYMC. Radar is all over the road. My Vancouver friends say that if you choose not to ride because of the threat of rain, you will never ride. And so we ride. First Update: Rain was forecast, but things seem to be changing (we really do…

Wednesday 20th, 2022. 6:30 PM GRAVEL RIDE!!!
RIDE CANCELLED. Sorry everybody but the weather radar looks unfavorable and nobody wants to ride with half a kilogram stone dust in their shorts if it can be avoided. So the weather forecast is a bit iffy for this ride. Hopefully it works out but to be honest, we certainly could use the rain… The…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 17 8:00am
This is one of my personal favourite gravel rides that takes us on the winding trails of Kitchener/Waterloo. Its a whole lot of fun and there will be several times where you’ll say “I had no idea this was here!” or “NOW I know where we are!” We’ll start at the usual spot by the…
