THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Rides for the week: Monday September 26 to Sunday October 2

This is the final week of our “Regular” Season. Starting October 1st we switch to Off-Season mode which means that rides won’t appear in regular time slots at regular times.  Rather, they will be posted on a casual basis, periodically whenever someone notifies us that they’d like to lead a ride! It could be any level, all levels, any day or time.  Usually they are fairly short notice (a few days) as potential ride leaders consult the weather forecasts.  You’ll also start to notice that we will switch to hikes from time to time—to keep us moving!  For the remainder of this week however, we have a few rides on the calendar, including a gravel ride on Sunday (about 50km total) and a mountain biking ride on Saturday.  Lots to see out there at this time of year!
