THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!
Thursday Afternoon (October 7), 1pm ride (Level 3)
The “regular” season has ended and we are in off-season mode now, but the weather doesn’t get any better than this! Off-season means that we don’t regularly schedule rides, but rather they are weather and ride-leader dependent. This Thursday afternoon we are going for some distance (not speed) and hoping to do about a 75km ride starting at the boat launch in Brighton just east of the entrance to Presqu’ile.
You can RSVP two different ways (as usual).
- The easiest way! Use Cycle Club. Either login to Cycle Club on the web, or download the app and go from there. If you haven’t already done so, start here: Cycle Club website/app
- Still valid: Leave a comment right on the website, we’ll count you in!
