Eric: so far I only know of the three of us (inc. Wilfred) going. There isn't any way to see who else is registered on the Milton site. Anybody else heading to the track that day, please drop a line here.
I can offer to drive on Saturday as well.
Milton Velodrome - Try the Track Update
Those of you wanting to try riding the boards are encouraged to register for a Try the Track session. The sessions at the Milton Velodrome are quite full so getting a dedicated session just for the SRCC will be difficult. I was out there watching the Canadian Track Championships the track looks...
It's a 40min drive, so definitely noon at the latest. Anybody else out there booked for the 24th?

Dammit, mixed up again, meant the 24th! I'll see myself out.

I'm registered for the Jan. 13th (1pm-3pm) session. Did anybody else manage to get bumped to this date as well?

No problem, glad you had a good year. Hope to see you at the club social.
Club rides done for 2014
So that's a wrap for SRCC official club rides for 2014! Thanks to all of our members for a great and memorable year.
That was fun, despite the headwind on the way back. Totally spent by the end, and noted I had the highest 2.5-3.5hr power output of all rides. So ya, I guess that hurt for a reason.
Sunday Oct. 26 ride | 11am
The last club ride of 2014. Other non-club rides may be posted in the forum, so keep an eye out there. We'll do the "Fall Colours" ride, 95k, breifly stopping in Campbellville. The club social is coming up, as well as club kit pre-orders. We'll be running an indoor trainer session again in Janua...
I'm going to drive out there tonight to set up a double CX barrier, just so Bayden freaks out and rides home :)
Sunday Ride October 19th - 11:00am
Those braving the cold and wind can join the ride through Eden Mills, Fergus, a stop in Elora, and then a nice tailwind to bring us home! Will be cold out so dress accordingly!
Fixing his bike.
Thursday Aug. 28 6:00pm Ride
Please note, ride starts at 6:00pm.
Attack on the gravel! Then set highest 40min-90min power thinking that you're chasing a group that turned early (but didn't). Thanks Andrew, that was a good two-man-TT.

Please note, ride starts at 6:00pm.
YOU FORCED ME TO DO IT!
Well, then unlike a school playground, let's settle this by pedaling bicycles really fast.

Nah, I just asked your mom what your homepage was.

You know it. Bayden, I did a google search, which might help you out:

It's dirt. Fortunately, rubber tires work on dirt.

Club Time Trial #4 - Rescheduled - Tuesday Aug 26/14 - 6:30pm
Last week's final TT of the season has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday Aug 26/14. Note the start time is 6:30pm (not the usual 7pm). See previous post for details as to location, etc. Sorry about conflict with the Tuesday club ride. RESULTS The rain from last week was gone, but the hot h...
Gah, almost 40 degrees w/ humidity... I think I'll leave the TT helmet at home.

Tuesday or Wed works for me.
Club Time Trial #4 - Wed Aug 20/14 - cancelled this week
The 4th and final TT of the season! 5:00pm update: After looking rather promising earlier this afternoon, the weather radar is now showing a heavy rainstorm directly over the TT course between 6:30 and 8:00pm. So the TT is CANCELLED this week. We can try again next week, but I'm a bit busy Wedne...
Tim, you should totally pick Kreuziger, I've heard he's got a passport to ride...
Vuelta Velogames
Just for fun (no prizing on this one), there is another Velogames league set up for SRCC. This should be quite the grand tour, with lots of climbing and all of the riders that couldn't keep the rubber side down in France. Create a team over at http://www.velogames.com/ and join the league using ...
I'd cut this a bit shorter, maybe come back along 25th and Hume (it's currently about 70k measured to downtown). Otherwise people will be riding home in the dark; sunset is now ~8:30 :(
Thursday Ride - August 7, 6:30pm
Hopefully avoiding any construction. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/5555377
Yes, good point. But also glad we're not heading south: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/five-photos-flooding-in-burlington-ont/33347/
Tuesday August 5th ride | 6:30pm
A little bit different this week, heading north then west near Maryhill (please note the right hand turn onto Township Rd 3 before Maryhill). Rides are getting a bit shorter now with the decreasing daylight.
... said the guy who didn't show up ;)
Club Time Trial #3 - Wed July 23/14
After being postponed last week the third of our 4 event time trial series is set to go on Wednesday! Time trials are a great way to test your fitness. It is a race against yourself and the clock. Riders start at 1 minute intervals and the challenge is to try to catch the rider ahead of you and...
10W higher, HR lower... but still slower. Damn you mojo! ;)

We saw them as well, poker faces all 'round, well done.
Thursday, July 10 ride | 6:30 p.m.
4:35 UPDATE: Looks like there's potential for the odd, super-isolated shower this evening, but nothing that should keep us off our bikes. RIDE IS ON! Let's take our motley crew west, see if we can't mix it up with the WCC Thursday gang. A and B groups, like we do.
We'll be continuing the shorter rides on Sunday for July and August (at least). An email will probably go out this week about that.
Sunday, June 29th rides | 9am
Forecast looks okay for now, but it should definitely be a warm one. Since it's the last Sunday of the month, we'll have a post-ride patio beer somewhere. Due to the heat, I think it might be wise for people to get cleaned up after the ride, as opposed to hitting a patio right at the end. Let's ...
