CANCELLED – Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 25, 2022 6:00 pm
It’s bucketing rain and the radar signals more on the way. Even if you wanted to join the soggy bum club, Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm alert. Hope you are inspired to join a weekend ride instead, check out the big MTB ride if you haven’t already! With the Tuesday TAM route changing,…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | Aug 18th 6:00 PM
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…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 21 6:30 pm
Come on out and enjoy more pleasant temperatures tonight and even a tailwind on the way home. We’ll be heading to Cambridge and beautiful Chilligo Road, with the R4 and R5 groups adding a loop on Concession 2. The over-60 set will recognize much of the route from Meg’s DNR ride a few weeks back.…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | July 14 6:30pm
We’ve tacked on some extra Ks to the DNR route that ran a couple of weeks ago. This route has a small one block section heading north on Downey – single file along there. And we have a small detour through a Ward 4 Burb because of the Speedvale closure. R2 & R3 lets focus…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | July 14th 6:30pm
A classic route for a weekday night ride. Let’s keep the rotations smooth! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The three Intermediate Speed Groups on this ride are:…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 30 6:30 PM
Let’s take advantage of the long days and head somewhere we haven’t been for awhile (and no, I didn’t steal this idea from Gord’s advanced ride last week – I’d already planned these routes!). Experience brand new pavement on 8th Line, at long last! The R4 and R5 route has a short stretch of gravel…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | Thursday June 30, 6:30 PM
June is almost over I’m using that as an excuse for completing some unfinished business! We’re going back to some routes Andrew W so carefully created before we got rained out June 8th. A tour through Oustic, Everton, Rockwood and Eden Mills! I’ve made some minor adjustments and added a little length to take full…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 16, 6:30 PM
Second longest Thursday night of the year, so let’s take advantage of it and loop to the north. The R6 group has a wee bit of gravel road at the top. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The three Intermediate…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | June 2 2022 at 6:30 pm
June is here! The days are longer and the butts are stronger. That means it’s time to start riding some longer routes! Bringing lights is always a good idea. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The three Intermediate Speed Groups on this ride are: Moderate R4 …

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | June 2 6:30pm
For this ride, we’ll ride out to Arkell, across Hume then up to Eden Mills through the lovely Ash Street. From there, we’ll cross Guelph Line and take advantage of the NW winds and ride all the way down to Halton Tract (where we’ll be riding on Sunday’s Great Gravel Ride – sign up for…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 12th, 6:30 pm
Thursday looks like it will be another sunny evening for a ride! This week we’ll be mixing things up a bit with a route heading northwest past Guelph Lake to start before turning and going through Rockwood and back to Arkell. Bringing lights is always a good idea. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | May 5th at 6:00 pm
Another beautiful spring night for our Thursday Intermediate Road Ride. We had a great turnout last week, let’s keep it up! It’s still early in the season, bringing blinky lights is always a good idea. Disclaimer: Depending on rider turn out, some Speed Groups may have to be combined. The three Intermediate Speed Groups on…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | May 5th at 6pm
Let’s take a rip out around the Acton Quarry this week. Hammerfest is pushing to 64k for distance, and the rest of us just shy of 60k, so after the warm-up, lets work on short turns on the front and work together the stay in the advertised pace for each group. Winter hasn’t been kind…

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | April 21st 6:00 PM
The weather forecast is now looking better for this ride, but still less than perfect. Check back here for weather cancellation posted no less than one hour before the ride begins. Please note the 6 PM start. These are slightly shortish routes as sunset is still only 8:10 pm. Bringing lights is always a good…

RIDE CANCELLED Thursday advanced ride: August 26, 6:00 pm
A severe thunderstorm watch for tonight means that the official club ride cannot run. However, the radar currently looks clear, so anyone who wants to ride unofficially (no ride leaders or strict pace groups) can meet at the library for 6:00 pm. This route gives us a little taste of both north and south roads…
