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…

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 – 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.

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…
