Looking like low teens and relatively still– great conditions for our Wednesday Social ride. We’ll be leaving from the library at 6:30pm. Please bring your membership cards and lights. We will be focusing on group communication and cohesion, so brush up on the group riding guidelines!
Wednesday’s ride is relatively short this time: it dips into “Hamilton” for a couple of km. and has some interesting hills.
Remember: this will be the first time this year using the summer start time: 6:30. Hopefully, the temperature will also be summer-like. Please bring lights and your membership card, just in case.
The weather is looking great! A nice serpentine eastern route and easy pace is in store. Remember to check out the Group Ride Guidelines. Be ready to ride for 6. Lights are always a good idea and membership cards too. Spring is in the air (and swamps) – listen for the Spring Peepers on the route.
The ride is on! No rain, but a bit on the cool side – dress appropriately. We have a nice route, short-ish distance and easy pace planned for this early season ride. Be ready to ride promptly at 6. Lights are always a good idea. Bring your membership card.
Second last Wednesday Ride of 2016! Earlier start.
I heard there was a Wednesday ride,
That Leonard mentioned and it gave me pride,
But you don’t believe in rhyming here, now do ya?
It goes like this: The fourth, the fifth,
A minor descent with a major lift,
Using both front rings compelling, “Hallelujah!” Halleluja… (repeat) Bring your lights! (apologies where necessary).
Ride is on! Looks like another nice evening after a warm day with temperatures dropping later on. The route takes us south and west through Hespler. EC says gentle west wind with a ‘low’ potential for rain at 8:00. A great weather web site to see what’s coming is one for radar over Michigan. Drivers may consider parking near the University Arboretum and ride to the start at Watson Library. This will shorten your return to your car. Hope you can join us!
It’s looking like a nice evening for a leisurely ride up north and west through Ariss and Mary Hill. EC says we’ll have a gentle wind at our backs for the ride home. Hope you can join us!
Yet another beautiful evening for a ride! Southeastern 42 km route from the Library back to Arkel – add another 8 to SRB. Sunset is 8:41 PM – bring lights just the same. Click here for info on SRCC Group Ride Guidelines and here for info on The Social Paceline. And for those new to group riding show up at 5:55 PM for the Group Ride Orientation Clinic. We’ll work on good communication up and down the line – no shortage of sand and other road hazards out there still. Don’t forget your 2016 membership card. See you soon!
Spring is finally springing and your bike has been patient – it’s time to get out there! Much warmer than yesterday, but still bundle worthy. We’ll do a nice, easy 37 km that’ll have us home in time for dinner and before the street lights come on. Don’t forget your 2016 membership card; good to have lights on the bike too. Please be sure to read over the Group Ride Guidelines and the explanation of The Social Paceline. Looking forward to seeing you.
Electrolytes people, it’s a warm one. A nice 43.8 km route (a version of a variation). A slightly shorter ride to match the shorter day. We’ll head north up Watson, through Oustic back on 6th and 20th to 29 south. A small stretch of hard-pack on side road 10 makes sure we get home with the light. Speaking of lights… Sunset: 7:58
We’ll be heading north and west up through Maryhill. The forecast is promising good weather and a tail wind for the ride back to town. A good length route for a 28 kph average with a couple of single file sections and the sun setting at 8:32 (ackk!). Tail lights please. You’ll be home, fed and showered in time to get out and see the Persied meteor showers later this evening.
It’s looking lovely out there – cool, but sunny. Bring your long sleeves and tail lights. We’ll go over a few items before heading out: communication, half wheeling and overlapping. Wednesday rides have been progressing really well. See you shortly.
