Sunday Road Tours | May 26 8:00AM
Looks like all the wet will be wrung out of the clouds today for a dry ride tomorrow. We’re heading West, Elmira way. Bring money for a coffee stop at Local Renaissance (opens at 10AM). Tail lights are always a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. All…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 19th 9:00AM
It’s the long weekend! Time to up the distance a bit as we work towards the famed BGR on June 9th. The route takes us to an old BGR haunt of Valen’s park. Be prepared for a fun adventure into the closed Crawley Rd/County road 7… we will persevere. There are no coffee shops or…

Sunday Road Tours | May 19, 8:00 am
A couple options this long weekend. The longer route is going to climb the Kelso escarpment a couple times, along with a few other lumps, so if you want some vertical training please join us. However, if that’s not your thing then there is a flatter, slightly shorter, route on offer also. Bring money for…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 12, 9:00am
Sunday Gravel Ride | May 12, 9:00am For this Mother’s Day ride we’ll keep it relatively short and simple so you can get back home in good time to celebrate the day. Just an easy out ‘n’ back/lollipop into Center Wellington. We’ll break in Elora with the option to refuel at the Mews or top…

Sunday Not-the-P2A Gravel Ride | April 28th 9:00 AM
Ride is on – we can turn back if it gets too yucky. I am offering a local gravel ride for the few of us who chose to not spend a bunch of money (more than the annual GCC membership fee!) to ride a not particularly scenic route with a couple thousand other people :…

Sunday Road Tours | April 28 9:00AM
RIDE IS ON!!! There’s rain forecasted around 11am. We’re rolling out as planned, but may shorten the ride to avoid getting too wet. 60-70k is better than no K. Also, Kevin bought a fancy new rain jacket he wants to try out. It’s Paris/Ancaster weekend, and its going to be amazingly warm with temperatures in…

Sunday Gravel: P2A Prep
Sunday Gravel Ride | April 21 11:00AM *NOTE CHANGE TO G3 ROUTE* I know a lot of GCC members are signed up to participate at the annual Paris to Ancaster (P2A) race next weekend. I also know some have been training hard for months, and some have just recently topped up their tires. Either way,…

Sunday Road Tours | April 14 11:00am
CANCELLED With on again, off again rain this morning I am cancelling the ride. The weather looks like it may clear up this afternoon so, if it does, I hope you get out for a ride. Hopefully this Sunday will be a great day for riding. There is a chance of rain in the forecast,…

Sunday Gravel Ride | November 5 11:00 AM (Standard time!)
Update: We are starting at 11:00 AM. We haven’t been down to the lovely Hilton Falls trails for awhile, so here’s a bit of an out-back to get there. Trying to keep the distance reasonable, as although it’s going to be a relatively nice day for November, as many of you know, I am a…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | Oct 22 11:00 AM
Update: TWN predicts it to feel like 2c at 11am, windy, and as of 8:00 pm Saturday evening, there are no takers anyway; I’m calling this one off. A modified, more sheltered version of the gravel ride is happening, so have a look at that if you are interested. If the weather is acceptable –…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 22nd 11:00 AM
Update #2: I have posted the new shorter (50k) and more sheltered route. We will be doing quite a bit of in-town trails again, but I’ve tried to make some changes and add some new stuff from last week’s ride. With much disappointment, we have cancelled the planned BGR#2 up in Beaver Valley. It’s just…

Sunday Road Tours | October 15, 10AM
Autumn has certainly arrived. With cooler temperatures and darker mornings I’ve opted for a later start. This weekend we will tackle the Kelso escarpment. Once up the east side on Steeles Ave and then, after a loop through Campbellville, Kilbride and the Bronte Creek valley under the eye of Mount Nemo, up the newly paved…

Sunday Road Tours | Oct 1st 9:00 AM
Let’s head south to see what fall colour we can see and explore the area’s fine assortment of drumlins (elongated hills caused by glaciers). After making our way down Watson and 8th Concession Rd, we’ll briefly stop at Middletown and Safari to say goodbye to the Tour group, who will head back through Freelton. They…
