What sort of a bike club would we be if we didn’t do Bickle Hill one Sunday? So, here it is. And for those of you who might be feel a little intimidated by it, don’t! You can certainly do it if you pace yourself. If you go up and over and feel like you just want to cut the ride length you can take a little short cut in Camborne and then it’s easy riding the rest of the way back. And if you’re feeling great, there’s the Jamieson twins after that!  Do not stay home because you think you can’t……you can!  🙂

We’ll all ride at our own pace, and Novice riders—no need to worry. If you get part way up and say NoWay, you could just turn around and come back. How easy is that!

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The abandoned parking lot at the corner of Theatre Rd. and Hwy 2.
Route: Bickle Hill and More route map here. (33km)

Are you up for the challenge?  Oh, c’mon! Let’s do it!

Wow, what a great turnout at the AGM this fabulous November evening. More than 30 people came and we all enjoyed good food, fun memories of the past summer and got to see what everyone looks like out of their spandex and helmets.

Back to biz now…..Thursday Ride. Weather says 5°, windy and 40% chance of rain. But you never know. The weather man lies all the time. The route is only 29.5km this Thursday. If you want to do more, that can be arranged. 🙂

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The park on Carlisle St. between Ewing and Westwood (south side)
Route: Town and Country route map here

How many brave souls have we got out there? Don’t put your bike away yet. Let us know if you are coming.

The Annual General Meeting is just around the corner and we’ve finalized the agenda. We also have in our hot little hands a complete sample set of all jerseys sizes and they’ll be available at the meeting to look, touch, admire, and most importantly try on to select a size. They’ll look even more awesome once we place an order and get our own club design applied to them. Because Louis Garneau has a super special promotion right now, we’ll be able to offer our club jerseys for $65 (including taxes).

If you haven’t already RSVP’d with what you want for dinner, check out the options and let us know.

Agenda:
6:00-6:30 Drinks and mingle (opportunity to try on jerseys for size)

About the Jersey “Fit Kit”

The fit kit will be available for the next 10 days. If you want to get ahead of the crowd, or can’t make it to the meeting you are welcome to contact Randy and pop on over this weekend to give them a try at your convenience. Just give us a call and see if we’re home! 905-376-8696.

As with Thursday, this ride has plenty of opportunities for shortening the route. If you want to make an adjustment, please print out the map and indicate your intentions below so others may plan too.

Although many like to travel in group fashion, there are a few who have speedier goals and needs. So, if that describes you, and you want to “take off” and travel at your own pace, please indicate that you’ll be doing so below so we don’t wonder where you are.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Donegan Park
Ride leader: Anita Macklin
Route:  “Shelter Valley” Route Map here

Please indicate that you will join us for the ride. (Bundle up warmly!)

This ride has plenty of opportunities for shortening the route. And hey, if you’re one of the “fasties” and you want to do the route at a quick, uninterrupted pace you’re welcome to break away from the crowd. Perhaps just indicate below that you’re riding on the fast-track and there might be others who want to join you. 🙂 Otherwise, we’ll mainly travel at a moderate pace.
