This week’s Friday Floater Ride will actually take place Saturday morning. We’ll take a route we’ve done on a few Level 4 rides this season, but will start in Centreton instead of the Beagle Club parking lot. We may also decide to change it up by riding the route counter clockwise.

Tuesday Sept. 19: Level 4 ride (90min)

Another hot sunny day for us! And we’re going for some speed on the flats. Meet at Donegan Park and we’ll head out Waterfront Trail Eastbound for 45 minutes then return. Easy stuff, no hills, but that means you can ride crazy fast! Please note that this will be the last official Level 4 Tuesday evening ride of the season. Days are getting just too darn short! There’s still the All Levels Ride on Wednesday though folks, so it ain’t over yet! Watch for rides on weekends and the occasional weekdays as weather permits.

5:30pm
Sunset: 7:16pm
Route: no map required, take Waterfront Trail East

Note: Due to the All Levels Ride the previous night, there will not be a Level 4 ride on Thursday.

100km (with All Level possibility) Ride: Sunday, September 23rd

We’re going to have a 100km ride this Sunday afternoon, but there’s no reason that you can’t make this ride what you want of it! We start at the Keeler Centre and head east to along Rednersville Road in The County to make it a 100km ride, but if anyone wants a slower and shorter ride, you can do it at your pace and turn around when you want. It helps if you leave a comment as to your intentions so any like minded riders can link together.

Date: Sunday, September 23rd
Start Time: 1:00
Meeting Location: Keeler Centre, Colborne
Ride Leader: none! But leave a comment so we can buddy up

CANCELLED 2 Ride:Thurs Sept 20

Cold and Wet is not Fun and not Healthy. Watch for next weeks postings for our last two Level 2 rides.

ALL LEVELS RIDE & Social – Wednesday, September 19th

It’s the third Wednesday of the month already and that means it’s an All Levels ride! This will be the final All Levels ride of our official 2018 cycling season.  However, stay tuned because there will be plenty of other rides to look forward to. As usual, we have one route, one start time.  Sunset will be at 7:14 pm so we will just do a simple 60 minute ride. 30 minutes out, turn around and ride 30 minutes back at whatever pace you feel like doing! By the way, friends and family are more than welcome to join us at The Mill after the ride for the social!

Start time: 6:00pm (Ride), and 7:15pm (pub social)
Start location: Parking lot at The Mill
RSVP: We need to make sure they reserve enough space for us, so please leave a comment to let us know you’ll be around for the social portion. Thank you!
