The first WHAM! of the season, excite.
G1/2 will ride together, G3/4 will ride together. G3/4 can remove the extra loop to 4th line if speed/time indicates that is a wise choice.
Ride overview is: moderate tempo as a group to our designated segments (we stay together), race pace at the segments, regroup and repeat. There are four segments of varying length this evening.
- Segment #1: Campbell Rd. North
- Segment #2: Jones Baseline North from Wellington 22 until the gravel ends
- Segment #3: 3rd Line Southbound from Wellington 22 to Sideroad 20
- Segment #4: 4th line Southbound from Sideroad 20 to Wellington 22
We will roll out from the bandshell, and will be using a multi-use trail to start. We will go slow, we will be polite, we will be great representatives of cycling in Guelph. Once we cross the dam we will ride a nice tempo pace to our first of four segments.
Please bring lights, front and rear. Bells are also a great idea.
