Updates for the Weekend of August 16 & 17

We have a few updates for this weekend’s schedule:

  • The Coal City gravel ride will meet at Coal City Cycles this week due to the wildfire risk.

  • Eric will be leading a green-gravel friendly 31km ride to Timberland Lake and Mindy’s Bridge

  • For the Sunday Road ride it may be advisable to ride out to Yellow Point and avoid Nanaimo River Road.

We will continue to monitor the wildfire and smoke situation, including the air quality forecasts, and if the risk becomes too high we will post any ride cancelations on the website and discord. We encourage all members who might be sensitive to heat or low air quality to exercise caution. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Tuesday night ride cancelled Aug 12 2025

Apologies for the 11th hour notice, but I have decided to cancel tonight’s developmental road ride as on top of the heat and wind we have a wall of smoke rolling in rapidly in many areas of Nanaimo. Stay safe out there!
