Sunday Bike Rides

Our first Sunday ride is this coming weekend. We will be meeting in the South End @ Starbucks (Gordon & Clair Rd) at 10AM. The weather forecast for Sunday is Mainly Sunny with a high of 15C.

Our riding loop will be 30K or so and it will take us South-West of Guelph towards Cambridge. People can ride the loop one or more times. If you are not familiar with the roads it might be a good idea to print off the map and keep it with you so you don’t get lost. Our pace will be variable with the fast people starting first. Expect early season paces of 22-28 km/h.
