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 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.…

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.…

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…

We’ll stop at the Quick Pick convenience store in Hillsburgh for some yummy (OK .. tolerable)…

7:30AM: RIDE IS CANCELLED. While it might not rain, it’s probably going to rain. You’re welcome to ride on your own – I’d bring the rain jacket, if you do. With the (really fun!)
