Sunday Gravel Ride | July 23rd 8:00AM
A bit of a different take on an Elora-Fergus trip, we’ll stop in Elora just before the halfway point for coffee. We can stop again in Fergus for liquids if needed. Looking like a great forecast! Bring money for a coffee stop and tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike…

Sunday Road Tours | July 23 8 AM
All my scheduled ride leads have been rained out this year so I’ve yet to wear my fancy new red jersey but Sunday’s looking pretty good, at least for now. If the weather turns dodgy, I’ll make a call by 7 a.m. but let’s stay optimistic. This route reverses one of my favourites through Rockwood…

Sunday Road Tours | July 09 8:00AM
This weekend’s road tours will take us north thru Fergus and Elora where we will stop for a short coffee break. The groups will split in Maryhill – the tour will head home and the grand tour will continue south thru Hespeler. The weatherman doesn’t seem to have a lot of foresight these day; there…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 9th 8:00AM
We’re going to do the Laskonian route to Hillsburgh. It’s a nice mix of gravel road and rail trail, with a few heart-pumping hills to help prepare those of us doing the Reggie Ramble next week (what … taper?!) We’ll stop at the Quick Pick convenience store in Hillsburgh for some yummy (OK .. tolerable)…

We are supporting the Tour de Guelph’s Hospital Fundraiser by signing up, paying our money (fund raise and donate more if you can) and riding our bikes. There will be no other club rides this day. The TdG has several routes to choose from. Some are good for getting your family and friends out on…

Sunday Road Tours | June 18, 8:00am
Why can’t a bicycle stand up on its own? Because its two tired! When is a bicycle not a bicycle? When it turns into a driveway. Come join me this Sunday for a ride to celebrate Father’s Day. It’s looking like we will have great weather for a tour to Kitchener’s Woodfire Cafe on Lancaster…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | June 11 8:00AM
UPDATE 7:15 AM CANCELLED: This is a tough one because the forecast says a 30 per cent chance of rain but the radar looks ominous. However, I always think it’s better to be cautious when it comes to club rides so I’m cancelling. Those that are still interested in a ride are welcome to go…

CANCELLED: Sunday Gravel Ride | June 11 8:00AM
7:30AM: RIDE IS CANCELLED. While it might not rain, it’s probably going to rain. You’re welcome to ride on your own – I’d bring the rain jacket, if you do. With the (really fun!) BGR under our belt-less bibs, let’s tackle another longer gravel ride this Sunday. The air quality will hopefully be improving a…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 28th 8:00AM
It’s looking like a nice day for a long-ish gravel ride in preparation for next week’s BGR! But you’ll still be home in time for lunch! Bring a small snack for a real brief trail side nature break at the snow mobile bridge at Wilson’s Flats and then a few sheckles for a proper Coffee…

Sunday Road Tours | May 28 8:00AM
The Weather Man says it’s going to be 15c at 8am on Sunday, and rising to the mid 20s as the day goes on; we will get an early start to free up the afternoon. The routes will be a bit shorter this week, but there will be lots of climbing on the escarpment for…

Sunday Gravel Ride | May 14th 9:00AM
Graveliers celebrate Mother’s Day, thanks Hallmark! Forecast is looking nice for this Mother’s day ride, but Saturday’s overnight low is only 1°C. Meaning –> chilly morning. Can’t see the hourly prediction at the time of posting. This may get adjusted again. Check back to be sure of our start time. Bring your own snacks for…

Sunday Road Tours | May 14, 9:00AM
Dear mom, Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m going for a ride, to celebrate you. Happy Mother’s Day! Sunday is shaping up to be a lovely day with low wind, a mix of sun and cloud and no precipitation. Seems like a perfect morning for a ride. Join us for a jaunt to Kitchener’s…

CANCELLED: Sunday Road Tours | May 7 10:00 AM
UPDATE 9 AM CANCELLED: I see that a bunch of riders have already made the prudent decision and removed their names from the signup list (which was very helpful in making a decision, thank you.) Based on that, the radar map and the hell that was P2A still fresh in my mind, I’m canceling the…
