CANCELLED Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 4 6:00 pm
Darn – I thought we might get away with this one. But there’s still a fair bit of rain on the radar and plenty of water on the roads (I learned the fallout of riding in a group when the roads are wet at P2A). Hope to see you all on another ride soon. At…

Hey you intermediate riders – where have you been the last couple of weeks? Come on out while you still can! And let’s head north while we still have enough daylight. Don’t be scared by the gravel indicated on the R4/R5 route – most of that is actually sweetly paved. There’s just a bit of…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 28 6:30
Another Thursday ride, another thunderstorm risk. However, as an unofficial GCC meteorologist, I am willing to bet this ride will go ahead. If you’ve been riding R4 and have been feeling inspired to surge away from the group, please mosey on over to R3, where you can put that extra energy to excellent use (see…
