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…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Sept 24th 9:00AM
It’s looking like a cool morning, so we’ll start at 9 to let it warm up a bit. We’ll be hitting all the favourites south of Guelph, and for the first time this year we go through Valens. There will be a coffee stop at the Danish Place, bring some money for that. Tail lights…

Sunday Road Tours | Sept 10 8:00AM
The weather is looking pretty good for Sunday morning; 16c at 8:00AM SO THAT WILL BE THE START TIME. This week we are going north to Lake Belwood and then south. The Tour will split off at Dublin Line & Hwy 7 where they can refuel at MacMillan’s Maket – on the south side just…

Sunday Gravel Ride ERIN | September 01 9:00AM
Another remote start! It’s only a short drive to ride some awesome, and rather hilly gravel roads. Meet at the back parking lot (near the tennis courts) behind Center 2000 in Erin for a 9-am start. The route is a bit shorter than typical, but don’t be fooled, it’s to compensate for the elevation gains.…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Aug 27th 9:00 AM
Saturday night has an overnight low of 7 degrees – chilly willy! We will be starting at 9 am to give the morning an extra hour to warm up for us. On this route, we are mashing together a few old favourites with a coffee stop in Elora. Bring money for that. Tail lights are…

Sunday Gravel Ride GUELPH| Aug 20th 8:00 AM
For those of you who don’t have all day to ride hills, here’s a local route; you’ll just have to self-organize at the start. Bring money for a coffee stop at the Bank Cafe in Fergus, and tail lights are a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.…
