RIDE CANCELLED | Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | August 21st 8:00AM
RIDE CANCELLED. It looks like there’s a 50/50 chance we’d get wet early in the ride and radar suggests a large burst around 10:00 – 11:00 so airing on the side of caution and cancelling the ride. The weather is not looking good at this time so be sure to check back no later than…

Sunday Gravel Ride | August 7th 8:00am
It’s going to be a warm one, so it’ll be on the slightly shorter side. A quick trip through the GORBA trails (easy ones) on the way up to Elora. Coffee (or iced coffee) there, and then hopefully some shade on the Kissingbridge trail. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s…

Sunday Combined Ride 8 AM: All hail the mighty Dar
Dar’s Delights has been a staple in the metropolis of Moffat since I can remember. Hers is a unique combination, to say the least: fine baked goods – the doughnuts are simply outstanding – paired with a personality so curmudgeonly it borders on parody. And don’t ask to use the bathroom unless you want to…

Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | July 31st 8:00AM
Butter Tarts! Now that I have your attention, Sunday morning rides north to Belwood for butter tarts is a mid summer must do. The weather looks like it’ll be a perfect morning for a ride north. We’ll ride at the posted pace but ensure we regroup often if needed. Bring plenty of fluids and money…

RIDE DELAYED: Sunday Gravel Ride | July 24th 8:00AM
Last Update: New departure time is 12:30 PM from GYMC. Radar is all over the road. My Vancouver friends say that if you choose not to ride because of the threat of rain, you will never ride. And so we ride. First Update: Rain was forecast, but things seem to be changing (we really do…

RIDE CANCELLED: Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | July 24 8 AM
RIDE CANCELLED: There is a “Special Weather Statement” that says heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible this morning and the radar is a sea of green and yellow. Oh well, I suppose we need the rain… The quality and potential enjoyment of any given ride is defined by many things: the route, the weather, your…

Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | Month Day Time
We’ve all been avoiding it. Time to visit Rattlesnake once again. Oh come on, it’s not so bad. It makes you a better rider. Quick stop at the corner store in Campbellville, then cruise home. Stay hydrated, it looks like a decently warm one. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s…

Sunday Gravel Ride | July 17 8:00am
This is one of my personal favourite gravel rides that takes us on the winding trails of Kitchener/Waterloo. Its a whole lot of fun and there will be several times where you’ll say “I had no idea this was here!” or “NOW I know where we are!” We’ll start at the usual spot by the…

CANCELLED – Sunday Medium & Moderate Road Ride | June 12 8 AM (Starts at the Y)
UPDATE 7:05 a.m.: The weather forecast actually improved a bit but the radar doesn’t look great and after riding in the rain on Thursday, I don’t recommend it. We’re also down to three riders so I’m going to err on the sign of caution and cancel it. Cycling is often about optimism. Convincing yourself you…
