The Monday night ride for July 2 is cancelled this week.
There is an expectation of heavy Monday traffic now that the Summer Tourist Season has started and many families have events already planned for the weekend.
See you on the 9th.
Wed June 27 Mixed Ride Cancelled
The ride for tonight, 2018-06-27 is canceled. The forecast is still calling for heavy rain, possible thunderstorms, and gusty winds.
Conc. 8 Through Mooresburg
I just heard that Conc. 8, the road that runs north/south through Mooresburg, is being paved after all. Work started today.
Originally the township had said the road would revert to gravel. They wanted drivers to use county road 3 instead. But they were pressured by residents to pave the road again.
This opens up quite a few bike route possibilities for us.
WEDNESDAY CO-ED RIDE DESIGN REVISION
The web page referred to in the recent email, with details of the changes, is here.
And here is the OSCC Risk Management Plan – 2018.
May 19th Breakfast Ride Leaves at 09:00
Please note that the May 19th breakfast ride to Tara, Country Cousins leaves at 09:00. This is 30 minutes later than usual to allow for the Saturday morning congestion at the restaurant.
Alpe de Zwift
The developers and artists at Zwift have created a new route, Alpe de Zwift. They imported GPS data from Alpe d’Huez. Their ride starts at sea level in the jungle of Watopia, but quickly climbs up above the snow line. The scenery may not match the real thing, but the road has the same 21 switchbacks and the same profile.
You have to be a Level 12 Zwifter to ride it, unless you join a group ride that’s going.
