This Sunday’s Gravel ride is a long-ish one. For those who missed the Floridale excursion a few weeks ago here’s another chance, yet a completely different route and direction.
We will have a ‘carry your own’ snack stop on the damn at Lake Belwood and a rest/re-fuel stop at the ‘Right Spot’ in Alma at halfway. Bring cash/card and a mask for that.
If the group splits, we will regroup throughout the ride and no one
will be left behind. Try loading the course into your bike computer if
you have one. RWGPS has lots of on-line help.
This is Tuesday’s Ride postponed to Wednesday evening.
The very last evening road ride for the 2020 season!
Rides are slightly shorter this week because the sun is setting 13 minutes earlier than last week – boohoo! We should be home before dark, but bring lights.
The protocol is still the same. Three waves: Fast, Medium and
Leisurely. Each wave will meet separately from the others. Please see
the satellite map for your meeting spot.
The evening is strictly social pace-line format without surging or
breaking apart. We’re looking for great group riding dynamics with good
communications and hand signals. Be sure to see all our relevant web pages on Responsibilities,Group Ride Guidelines, Safety, Pace-line and New Member information.
In the case of bad weather we are pre-scheduled for Wednesday as the rain date. Check back here for a weather cancellation announcement, it will be posted no less than one hour before the ride.

Radar is showing a bit of rain toward the start of the ride, but clearing shortly after. Might be a little damp at the start, but it’ll be gorgeous after. RIDE IS ON!
Lets’ try this again. This is last weeks cancelled gravel ride redux. It’s looking good for this Sunday and we’re excited about this route.
Start time: 8 AM
Start location: Guelph Youth Music Centre (not the library). Plenty of parking for those arriving by car.
We’ll be meeting separately from the ‘Moderate’ riders. Our meeting
place will be the South end of the parking lot near the building (see
image below).
We’re going to head up the Kissing Bridge trail, over the ‘Flat Side
of the Bridge’, check out Sandy Hills, then wind our way over to Elora
for a nice coffee break at about the 50 km mark. We’ll aim for a
22-24 kph average, depending on the makeup of the ride.
To join the ride, you will need to complete and submit the sign-up form, found HERE. All steps listed in the form MUST be completed.
Check back here for weather cancellation announcement, it will be posted no less than one hour before the ride.
RIDE CANCELLED Environment Canada has issued a Tornado Warning, that can make for quite a head wind on a ride, not to mention other problems. It doesn’t rain all summer…
Original Post
After last Tuesday’s great success we are looking to add a bit more distance for all and a little more top end for our A group. It truly was great to see so many familiar faces last week and a few new ones as well – a special welcome to our new club members and many thanks to those that helped them during the evening!
