It’s too early to know about the weather, but at the moment the forecast says 14° and clear. Just like Thursday, this route is 54.4 km long with a hill or two. The Thursday group should be able to report on the condition of Crossen Rd. so we’ll be able to know whether or not we need to circumvent that.

Scenic-paced group: Rumour has it that some stay home because they don’t want to “hold anyone back” by riding at a comfortable leisurely pace. You’re not alone! Please mention your wish to take it easy by commenting below and chances are good that you’ll find other like-minded folks to ride and chat with.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Mill Restaurant parking lot
Ride Leader (Scenic Group): Volunteer anyone?
Route: Bewdley and Back route map here

Please indicate that you will join us for the ride. Anyone want to volunteer to lead the Scenic Group?

It’s been a while since we rode into Bewdley. This route is 54.4 km long and there are a few hills (just sayin…..) We’re not sure about the condition of Crossen Rd., and it’s quite a substantial downhill so we may have to plan an alternative—has anyone checked it out lately and can report on its condition?

You don’t need to ride like the wind, either. If you are wanting to ride but are a little unsure about whether or not you can keep up, please mention it below and you might be surprised to find that there are others who’d love to ride at a nice leisurely pace too!

Start time: 10:00am

There’s only a 30% chance of rain tonight, so the ride is on! It’s only 25km so we should be able to get this ride in before it’s too dark. There are no hills to speak of on this route, so it should be suitable for everyone. Please print out the route map provided.

After this ride, there are only four remaining evening rides.

Start time: 5:30pm

The forecast for Sunday is 19° which is warm, but showers (at the moment) Let’s hope the showers stay away because it will probably be the warmest day this week. The map says we start at Precious Corners, but we’ll start at The Mill restaurant parking lot instead, giving us some extra distance—about 50km. If you wish to go a little shorter (42km) mention it below and then meet at the corner of Dale Rd. and Cornish Hollow at 10:15am.

Start time: 10:00am (50km)  or 10:15 (42km)
Start location: The Mill parking lot

Please mention below if you want to ride a little slower or faster than the main group…..this is most helpful to others who would love to know that there’s someone riding at their speed!
