Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Dale Rd. Store

Please print out a map for yourself and bring it with you. Also, we’d really like it if you mentioned below that you’re coming!

Monday, September 19th: Evening Novice Ride (6:00pm)

It’s a 6:00 start time again and the weather forecast looks good, but cool at night. We’ll do like we did last week and head out for 40 minutes and then turn around and come back, but starting at The Mill restaurant this time.

Congratulations to the club members who completed the 100km ride to Presqu’ile and back! Marianne, Rick, Maiike, Peter, Ruth, Vivian, Paul, Randy and Anita. Awesome job everyone. Special recognition to Randy—3 flats, a sliced tire, and rode like Lance to catch up to everyone in Brighton. We learned today that a sliced tire can be fixed with an empty powergel pack and duct tape.

Start time: 6:00
Start location: The Mill Parking Lot
Route: To be determined
Ride Leader: To be determined. Anyone want to lead?

Monday, Sept. 5th: Evening Novice Ride (6:30pm)

New start time: 6:30pm

This ride is being posted on the website, but many of the club members will already have rode 106km earlier in the day and may not wish to ride in the evening, but if people wish to get together and do the usual Monday night ride, here is the place to discuss a starting point and a ride leader. Is there anyone interested in leading this ride? We need a leader and a starting point in order for this ride to occur.

Start time: 6:30
Start location: Donegan Park
Ride Leader: ?

Please indicate by commenting if you are interested in riding and also if you wish to lead the ride.


Ride: Sunday September 4th: Town and Country (29.5km) (10am)

Please note that the start time is 10:00am

This ride is going to be an easy 29 km because of the biggy 100km ride that many are doing on the next day (Monday). This is the very first route that we did as a club way back in May. It’s easy, not very hilly, so should be a good ride for all skill levels. This would be a great ride for some of the Monday riders who are looking for a little more challenge.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The park on Carlisle St. between Ewing St. and Westwood.
Route map and directions: Town and Country route map
