Finally, the weather man empathizes with our cold weather woes and provides us with sunshine and 17° this Sunday. Our “official” season hasn’t started yet, but we’re heading our for a pre-season ride. We’ve got a 100k coming up next month on the May long weekend, so a few of us are anxious to get ourselves moving!
We’ll meet at Carlisle Park where we’ll head our for an easy 17k (Loop A) and for those who want to give it some more cuz your legs are feeling fine, after returning to the park we’ll take off again for a little hill-age and distance—45k more!
Date: Sunday, April 28th 2013
Time: 10:00am
Start Location: The park on Carlisle St. between Ewing and Westwood
Ride Difficulty: Loop A (Level 2), Loop B (Level 3 or 4)
Route Maps: Part-A-17k and Part-B-45k route maps and elevations
New this year! Elevation Charts on our route maps
Check out a route map and you’ll see that we now have elevation charts on the first page. It’ll help you visualize those hills. But don’t be deceived by what looks like a big hill on the 17k route—the maximum elevation is only about 116m which is basically pretty flat. The 45k route on the other hand has a max elevation of about twice that.

You mean April 28th right? Not May??
Talk about a FAIL! Yes, it’s April 28th (I’ve made the correction)
Can’t be there. Studio Tour weekend. Hey, maybe you could all ride out to my place, take a look at some art, refill your water bottles and/or use the facilities if you need to and then head out again! Just a thought…it would be my way of seeing you all when I can’t ride with you. Have fun.
Would love to ride, unless my schedule changes or someone does a serious rain dance I am planning on enjoying the ride!
I plan to be there!
I’m definitely going to be there!
I can’t make this one – have fun !
I will try and do just the short ride of this – unfortunately I have to go to Guelph that day otherwise I’d be in for the full ride!!
Rose and I plan the short ride
Planning on being there if the temp is above 0:)
I plan to do the full ride. Looking forward to biking again this year.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to make it for the ride, after all 🙁
Caught a bug, so I am staying home.
I will be riding in to meet you at the park. Cash in hand. Back pocket really.
Been outside……and it’s perfectly awesome! Gonna wear SHORTS! Yeaaaaah! Randy’s riding too, by the way. We’ll see you at 10!
How did it go?
