A new way to look at an old friend? Sure, Thursday rides often begin heading south up Watson towards Arkell, but how many times do they end that way as well? An uphill finish and a change of pace. Be sure to keep an eye out for traffic and take care at the roundabout crossing Hwy 7 on the home stretch.
For riders looking for a nice, solid group that stays together on the flats and up the climbs, R3 is for you! If you’ve been riding R4 and would like to try something new or if you’ve been looking for a bunch of like-minded Thursday night riders, this one is for you. The R3 group will not be combined with R2 regardless of numbers so when you sign up for it you can be confident knowing what kind of ride you are going to be getting.
Bringing lights is always a good idea.
