Special Ride: Armstrong Friday April 3 – It’s ON!
Tom is inviting everybody to join our first “special ride”: We will be meeting at 9:30am in the Armstrong Memorial Park on Friday, April 3.
If the weather is too wet, we will make the decision to cancel by 7:30am the same morning, and a post will be published here on the blog to inform you of the decision. In that case, the ride will be rescheduled for Monday, April 6.
The route will be 75 km or more, if people are interested. The terrain is usually rolling hills and flats. Lunch will be at the Armstrong Anchor Inn following the ride.
Please carpool! Send a comment or email if you’re looking for a ride or can offer one ….
Update 7am: The ride is ON! See you in Armstrong. Bring an extra layer …
Mark your calendars …

Start of the Beez season!
The sun is shining and it’s 17C as I write this … so it’s time to get on the bikes! The official start of the Beez rides is Sunday, March 22. Meet at 10am at the Bean Scene Headquarters on Dickson road. Length and duration will depend on temperatures and fitness levels and motivation 🙂 As always, these are NO-DROP rides and we regroup where necessary.
Tomorrow, March 15, looks to be wet but if it happens that the roads are dry and you’re up for an easy ride, come to the Bean Scene (again at 10am) and see who else is keen to get out. Or we enjoy a coffee together!
Route 66
How is this for a bucket list cycling trip???
Early spring
It sure looks like we will have an early end to the ski season and an early start of the cycling season this year! Please let me know when you are starting the group rides so that I can post the details here. If anybody wants to start the Sunday rides (I would suggest at 10am from the Bean Scene on Dickson), please let me know. This coming weekend looks a bit wet but after that it should be sunny.
Also, get yourself and your bike ready for cycling! This article has some good reminders and tips …
