CANCELLED – Sunday Gravel Ride | June 12th 8:00AM
RIDE CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN. Maybe we can organize the ride for later in the day when it stops. Not a great looking forecast, but let’s hope for the best; 7AM go/no-go call at the latest. A clockwise loop with a stop at the Erin bakery at about half way. And a slightly longer route…

Ride is ON! It’s quite cool, dress in layers. We’ll finish at 17 degrees in the sun. 7:00 am weather update… ride is postponed until 12 noon today. This will mean some of you can’t make it, but some still will. We’re trying to make the best of the bad weather – better than cancelling.…

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…

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…

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).

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…

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…
