It looks like I won’t have to spend my entire afternoon refreshing the weather radar this time. Plenty of sunshine ahead but the days are getting shorter: it’s now or never for some of our longer routes.

As usual, the focus will be on cohesive riding and good communication. There are three pace groups for Wednesday, although groups may be combined depending on the number of riders who sign up.

Wednesday A: 28-30 km/h average
Wednesday B: 26-28 km/h average
Wednesday C: 24-26 km/h average

As with all club rides, you must sign up in advance, which can be done here.

Be ready to pedal at 6:30 PM from the East End Library at the corner of Starwood and Watson.

Bike lights are always a good idea, but especially on these longer rides.

Each week the route gets a little shorter… *wipes away tear from cheek*

This week will start (as per usual) from the East Branch of the Public Library (refer to the map below) at 6:30pm sharp.

It’s always a great idea to ride with lights, but especially so this time of year! By this time of the season we have ironed out the wrinkles: communication on rides has been fantastic as of late, and let’s plan to keep it that way.

Please remember the Wednesday group ride pace guidelines:
A: 28-30km/h
B: 26-28km/h
C: 24-26km/h

Wednesday June 26th A/B/C Rides, 6:30pm

,

Reason 10,000 why being a cyclist is great: my friends can always ask me what the forecast is, knowing that I’ll have looked at it already. Wednesday evening looks lovely, albeit a tad windy. I really enjoyed the route we did almost a month ago on May 29th, so let’s do it again! See below for the A/B route (first map), as well as the C route (second map).

Please be ready to roll from the East Branch of the Public Library for 6:30pm. There are two routes below: the A/B rides will take the longer route (first map), and the C ride will take the second, slightly shorter route.

First ride with SRCC? Check out our New Members Area! First ride with SRCC this year? Get re-learned with our Group Ride Guidelines and the Safety and Skills pages. Get the route loaded to your GPS and the tires inflated, and we’ll see you there!

There are three pace levels for Wednesdays, as per our new Ride Schedule:
Wednesday A: 28-30km/h
Wednesday B: 26-28km/h (ride leader James)
