Sunday Gravel Ride | May 15th at 8 am
The weather forecast has completely turned around, it’s looking very pleasant for the ride. A start of 17 degrees and a finish of 24 with very little wind. We should be home in time for lunch! Wilson Flats is in the mix and so is a jaunt through Elora Gorge Park. Fear not, we won’t…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 8th at 9 am
It’s a gravel ride for Mother’s Day! Oh yeah, you can work this in! Mums, you owe it to yourself, this is your day, you know there is nothing more you would rather be doing than riding your bike! Fathers, give her the space she deserves, let her sleep in, and leave her alone at…

Wednesday Gravel Rides | May 4th 6:00PM
It’s looking like a nice evening for a ride… finally! These Wednesday night gravel rides are new this year. Route distances are selected to get us all home before sunset. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Fortune favours the prepared – Les Graviers. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, Speed Groups may have to…

2022 P2A Race Report
The cork is out of the bottle and the season has begun! It was the warmest, bluest-sky event we can remember. We came, we saw, we had a nice time (mostly). Despite crashes, rashes, sun burns, cracked helmets, flats, double flats, transport craziness, road crossing delays, shortened courses and DNFs, it was a rather pleasant…

Sunday April 24th Gravel Ride | 11AM start
If you’re not heading to P2A, but still want to enjoy the nice weather on a gravel bike, then this is for you. Please wear sunscreen or keep exposed skin covered. Sunday is going to be very warm, and I don’t want to see any lobsters out there! Dress for the conditions – check out…

Sunday Gravel Ride | November 7th, 11:00 am
The weather is predicted to be around 11 degrees and partially sunny. The route will be mostly gravel roads with a couple of easy two-track ‘connectors’ (hopefully no mud). Unfortunately there is no cafe or convenience store near halfway on this route. Please bring food, enough drink and dress for the conditions. Check back here…

CANCELLED Sunday Gravel Ride | October 31st, 11:00 am
RIDE CANCELLED. We’ll try again next week and hope for better conditions. It’s going to be a cold, wet, mucky and windy all Hallows Eve, Hallowe’en or Halloween (your spelling preference) fall colour ride. Weather is predicted to be chilly, windy and wet – around 8 degrees at the start. Brrr…. costumes are mandatory (ok,…

Sunday Gravel Ride – Oct. 17, 11:00am
Weather is looking cool, and possibly rainy for this weekend. The ride start will officially be at 11:00am, to account for some warmer weather and hopefully to miss any rain that comes overnight. Dress appropriately and the worst that will happen is that you’ll have a cool story about an awesome adventure. There will be…

Sunday Gravel Ride | October 10th, 9:00 am
Weather prediction is warm. Should be around 17 degrees at 9 am. This ride is a wee bit shorter to allow for the long weekend commitments people need to get back for. We should easily be back by noon. There will be a halfway stop at the Lost & Found Cafe in Elora. Be sure…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 22nd, 8:00 am
This one is called Kissing Flormira Wilson for obvious reasons. It was rained out a month ago, but the forecast is looking favourable this time. If you’ve never been around the Floradale reservoir you’re in for a treat. We also cut through Edna and Daniel Martin’s Mennonite Maple Syrup farm with permission. Sorry, no Sunday…

Sunday Gravel Ride | August 15, 2021
And now for something completely different. Well, not really, just leaning toward more singletrack 🙂 We’re doing a loop of Smith tract as a warm up, so bring your skills! Otherwise it’s some new roads and trails out near Acton, and a loop back through Hilton Falls. Should be perfect weather! Bakery stop in Acton…

SRCC Big Gravel Ride 2021!
Updated Route as of Saturday Night. Small change at the the very beginning and very end due to construction in Howitt Creek Park. The route is now 6km shorter. See below. We’re doing it again! Back by popular demand, the SRCC Big Gravel Ride! And like before, we guarantee there will be sections that are…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 1st, 8:00 am
RIDE CANCELLED due to wet forecast, or perhaps we should just say ‘postponed’. This ride will run on Monday August 2nd starting at the same time and location. Long weekends leave towns quieter than usual, which is an excellent time to take advantage of what’s in our own backyard. This route uses the best south…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 25th, 8:00 am
RIDE CANCELLED Slick mucky trails and a few other compounding factors have led to the cancellation of this ride. We’ll try this route another time. The road ride is still on. This is a slightly longish one but has a perfectly placed snack stop halfway in Elmira. If you’ve never been around the Floradale…

Sunday 07/18 Gravel- 8:00am
A slightly different route for this weekend’s Gravel sampling. We’ll head northeast along some of the familiar roads of last year’s Big Gravel Ride. Then we’ll turn north and hit the rail trail heading into Fergus, with a slight detour to the Belwood Country Market for a refreshment stop (butter tarts highly recommended!). We’ll then…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 4th, 8:00 am
A chilled plate begins this multi course affair with an amuse bouche of G2G followed by some Wilson Flats. The meat and potatoes of the ride are grass fed and northern, pairing well with Carroll’s Creek’s eau de swamp. We’ll then sample a midway snack (literally) at The Right Spot in Alma. Irvine Bridge is…
