This will be our first official Sunday Club Ride of the season and a Happy Mother’s Day! We will have a later start today so that all the Moms can sleep in and all the Dads can serve breakfast in bed! We should be finished in time to keep those dinner reservations. We will start the ride in Port Hope and tackle the Western Wanderer for 51 km. Western Wanderer Route Map

This route was developed last year by Roberto for Level 2. I have added a couple of more hills to make it a Level 3 route. The ride will start at the parkette on Carlisle street (Westwood Park). A few reminders: Helmets are mandatory, and please bring your membership card with you. We’re still getting to know everyone!
Start time: 6:30 pm

Quick reminder of the Ride Leader Practical Training taking place tomorrow at Cycle Transitions (new location on King St.). For those who can make it, see you all at 10am! The sun is scheduled to shine for us.
Rain! Darn Rain! Again! Ride Cancelled.
Due to the really unpleasant weather the Friday Morning will unfortunately need to be cancelled. Stay tuned for next week when Randy will post a weekday ride, the day to be determined still.
Thursday May 3: Level 2 and Level 4: Due to imminent rain, possible thunderstorms and a general state of weather misery out there we are cancelling all rides for this evening. Sorry….things looked so promising these past few days!
This weekly event can fall on any weekday, depending on Ride Leader availability. The level of the ride is also not carved in stone. It will depend on what the participants are wanting from week to week. This first Daytime Ride of the year, will be lead by I, Randy Albon, and will likely be somewhere between level 2 and 3 considering it is so early in the year.
Looking forward to seeing you all! Please leave a comment indicating how long you might want to ride so we can start thinking about it beforehand.
Date: Friday May 4
