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…

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…

Sunday Nov 29th, 12 Noon Gravel Ride
Well here’s one for the record books. The weather for this Sunday is looking good – sunny with a high of 7 – so a gravel riding we will go! But it’s still chilly by usual standards, dress appropriately – a later start at noon should help some. There will be a snack stop in…

Sunday Nov 15th Gravel Ride
According to the forecast there most likely will not be a club gravel ride this Sunday. If for some miraculous reason the weather completely turns around, we will quickly post a ride. Check back if that should happen. It should also be noted that we will keep trying to hold gravel rides until we can’t…

Sunday Nov 8th 11 AM Gravel Ride
The weather for this Sunday’s Gravel ride is looking quite ideal considering last year on this date it didn’t get above zero. There will be a snack stop in Elora. Bring cash/card and a mask for that. If the group splits, we will regroup throughout the ride and no one will be left behind. Try…

Sunday Nov 1st 11 AM Gravel Ride
RIDE CANCELLED – We’ll try this one again next week. Original Post: The forecast for this Sunday’s Gravel ride is “rain showers or flurries ” – so most likely will not run. Which will give you a chance to sleep in after too many mini Mars bars plus the time change and let you dream…

We will have a ‘carry your own’ snack stop on the damn at Lake Belwood and a rest/re-fuel stop at…

Sunday Oct 4th 11 AM Gravel Ride – All Members
RIDE CANCELLED – too wet and cold = frowny faces This Sunday’s 70km Gravel ride is last year’s BGR (Big Gravel Ride) club event in reverse! This in-town multi surface route is best ridden when Guelphites are shuttered – the forecast is promising that at this point. If you didn’t ride this last year then…

SRCC Big Gravel Ride 2020!
We’re doing it again (again). We had such a great event last year on a 70 km route which was almost entirely inside Guelph, we thought we would try one almost entirely outside of Guelph. And like last year, we guarantee there will be sections that are unknown territory for you.You may recall we posted this as a ride-it-by-yourself…
