Tomorrow the weather says SUNSHINE, and super great temperatures right into the evening. We’ll start this ride in town, head down onto the Lakeshore, cruise down to the pier and who knows where else. New riders, experienced riders, and all those who just want to get out and get some fresh air, come on out. The evening rides are always fun.

Start time: 7:00pm
Location: The park on Carlisle Ave. between Ewing and Westwood
Ride Leader: Anita Macklin
Route: To be determined

This Sunday we ride out along the Waterfront Trail as far as we want again, then turn around and come back. It’s nice easy riding, and doesn’t get much flatter than this around these parts. 37km—you’ll be done in no time! Feel free to extend the ride longer if you wish.

We will try the same 3-group approach as last Sunday: Scenic/Leisurely Group, the Regular Group, and the Non-stop Group.

Please print out the route map and bring it with you if you are planning to ride.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Donegan Park

Please comment below if you are coming, and maybe even indicate which group you might want to try riding with.

This Thursday is simple. The planned route is about 37km, but that doesn’t mean you are obligated nor limited. We ride out along the Waterfront Trail as far as we want, then turn around and come back. How simple is that? And it’s easy riding! No real hills to speak of. You make the ride as long or short as you want.

Please print out the route map and bring it with you if you are planning to ride.

Please comment below if you are coming, and also what sort of distance you might be thinking of. It helps others to plan ahead, especially if you’re looking to go all the way to Presqu’ile Park and back.

Just sayin……

We took the chance on Monday night and didn’t get rained out, so we’ll take the chance again. Nothing to strenuous, nothing to long…..this ride is a casual ride for riders of all ability. As usual with our Easy Rides, we will travel along as a group, share some yakkity yak and have fun. All weather dependent of course.—the weather sounds a little sketchy at the moment. Keep your eye on the radar. If there’s a 40% chance of rain, that means there’s a 60% chance it won’t rain! How’s that for optimism?

Our Monday and Wednesday night EASY RIDES are starting. Last week however, the evening ride was washed out, so we’re going to try again.

These Easy Rides are particularly beneficial for new riders who are new to cycling, but also a valuable opportunity for experienced riders to “slow it down” a little (your body will thank you). Remember back in the day when you had to walk to school 5 miles and it was uphill both ways….back in the days when you were new to cycling, and others supported you even if you whined? Well, there are plenty of new members in the club who would love it if the more experienced ones could mentor a bit, sharing that wealth of experience.

We said easy, and we mean easy! The pace will be set by those who are in attendance and nobody will get left behind. In the spirit of “group” ride we will travel together in a group. These rides were a big success last year because of the awesomeness of our club members who know how to have fun. (There’s a reason we were voted Best Cycling Club in Eastern Canada)

Start time: 7:00pm
Location: Donegan Park
Ride Leader: Paul Mills
Route: To be determined by ride leader
