Unofficial Rides / New Year Ride 2024

Last post by Thomas Bruck - December 30, 2023, 11:15:56 AM

Since I could not find an "official" BCC New Year ride on the web site I am taking the liberty to inviting you for a ride on 1. 1. 2024 at 11:00 am starting from Lisgar GO station.
If the roads are dry, reasonably wet and without snow or ice only.

Looking forward to see you all!

Road Advisory / 5 Sideroad and Trafalgar

Last post by Thomas Bruck - November 19, 2023, 10:09:07 AM

Watch for 4 (four) new speed humps on #5 Side Road, east of Trafalgar Road. The first one is just past Trafalgar (at the school) and the last is past the second (RH) turn.

You can go pretty fast over them. Just make sure you are holding the handlebars tight and your feet "standing" in the pedals. Your legs and arms should be acting like springs. The torso should be in a higher position (your crotch barely touching the saddle) at the uphill of the hump. Your "limp springs" contracts (bend) towards the peak of the hump and immediately stretch after the peak. This will happen very fast! Some practice would be recommended.

Stay safe!

PS The humps are one solid asphalt mass from left to right without gaps.

Unofficial Rides / Ride to Ancaster 118/775m

Last post by Jerzy D. - November 02, 2023, 08:08:54 PM

There is invitation for a ride to Ancaster from Churchill Meadows CC. The ride has 118k and 775 climbing meters. Coffee break could be in Ancaster, Dundas or in Watertown. Start time 10:00

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44897012

The route was updated to bypass closed section of Lower Base line as per Thomas note. My apologies for my mistake.
Now we have 6 k longer but 20m less climbing route

Due to wet weather I have to cancel the ride!

Hello fellow club members and cyclist. We all have had some close encounters in the past with angry motorists during group rides, commuting, or just walking. Please consider taking a look at this petition and signing to get Bill 40 passed.
