Lawdy it’s hot out there! Some like it that way, others not so much. For those who like the heat, we have four rides on the calendar. Note that the morning start times are 9:30am. It’s always best to have running lights on your bike both day and night—white in front and red in the back. Visibility is one key to your safety on the road! For evening rides please make sure you have a light that illuminates the road in front of you. Even though the ride should be completed by sunset at 7:57 on Thursday, we always need to be prepared for unexpected delays (like flat tires)—cuz they happen!
NEW: On a trial basis while we navigate these challenging COVID times, we have empowered Ride Planners to exercise an option to request participants be fully vaccinated on their respective rides.
Please note that for all rides this week, those choosing to ride must be fully vaccinated. We will rely on your honour to respect the Ride Planners request.
