Sunday Gravel Ride | September 22 8:00
Sunday is looking to still be part of this mini-heat wave we’re having, so it should be warm enough to ride by 8. A slightly shorter route but Elora has an amazing coffee shop (or two), so my default will be to stop for a quick coffee. Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 25 8:00am
We’re resurrecting the original route from the modified Super Sunday Gravel Ride. I wasn’t around, but apparently the weather was expected to be worse to the north of Guelph than the south, so a different route was used. We’re not going to have that problem this Sunday! We’ll take a break in Alma for some…
