We have changed the location of the BC Day ride Monday August 4 to the Cowichan Valley as the BC wildfire Service is asking that the highway be kept clear for Emergency vehicles.
The updated ride details are in the calendar here. Thanks all for your patience as we navigate this wildfire season.
We have a few updates for this coming BC Day weekend:
Saturday August 2:
There will be no Coal City Gravel ride this week due to the long weekend.
The Green Gravel ride will meet at Parkville Serious Coffee for an alternate coffee loop
Monday August 4:
Eric is planning a gravel adventure in Port Alberni. Route and further details are in the calendar.
Don’t forget that the Strava Challenge make up weeks run from Monday August 4- Sunday August 17. This is your chance to make up any segments you missed, or improve your times. Check out discord for leaderboards and join in the fun. There will be prizes for placing and participation.
Due to the high temperatures, the road ride tomorrow will start at 8:00am, meeting from Rock City Cycles as usual. Don’t forget your sunscreen and extra hydration!
Sorry all, due to high probability of rain showers and slick roads, we’ve made the call to cancel tonight’s ride. Check the calendar for upcoming events, and we’ll see you all again soon!
Due to the high forecasted temperatures, we will have C& B groups (20-22 & 23-25 km/h average moving speeds) starting the ride tomorrow at 8:00am. A riders (26+km/h may still wish to start at 9:00 as they will be done more quickly anyway.
