Thursday Advanced Road Ride | May 23, 6:30PM
This Thursday, instead of one large loop, I have put together a series of right turning loops in the Nassagawaya area south of Rockwood. I figure, why not mix it up a bit. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 16 6:30PM
While the early-season club riding has been pretty good thus far, I don’t think I’ve been on a route that take us up the Col du Watson. Apparently, a section of Watson Road is going to be closed for a good portion of the summer while they repave it and while that’s ultimately a good…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | April 18 6:00PM
Welcome to the inaugural Thursday road ride of the 2024 season! This ride will jog your memory of the last Thursday road ride of 2023, because we’re following mostly the same route! Last time, several people loaded the wrong route which resulted in some missed turns. I won’t name names (*cough cough* KEVINKOOLE *cough*) but…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 13 6:30PM
This week’s rides will follow similar routes to last week’s cancelled ride. I chose last week’s courses mainly because I did what all good bike riders should do and limited my effort to the barest minimum required to achieve the goal of creating the needed courses, and also because there’s a chance again the weather…
