My apologies for the delay in posting the rides.

REMINDER: all riders must have taken the OBC Group Riding Clinic to participate in group rides. Significant, current group riding experience can be acceptable in lieu; contact the event organizer to discuss.

1 week to Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour.

A note to all participants from the RLCT routes guy: Major, impassable-by-bike construction at a key intersection -- the hwy 15/rte 42 intersection in Crosby -- has created significant detours for all routes but the Cruise: a few kms have been unavoidably added to the Classic, Century, both gravel rides; the Challenge has had a planned reroute onto some lovely new roads cancelled, sadly, and has been shifted back to the traditional routing between Westport and Kingston.

Also, a reminder for particpants to peruse the two technical guides -- some logistical info plus getting up and running with Ride With GPS and accessing the route maps -- for the event which are available OVER HERE. There is a similar technical guide for OBC group riders, such as yourself, to get connected to RWGPS. That doc is available OVER THERE.

Upcoming Club Events:

Please take a look in the calendar to see all the upcoming events you may wish to take part in.

June 6/7 - RLCT

Are you ready to go? (It's next week)

Volunteer's sought and needed!!

Your club, and all the activities it organizes, run on volunteers and it needs us all to pitch in, whether a little or a lot; every hour helps.

This & that

HOT OFF THE PRESS!! (I and likely you just received the email)

Ontario Cycling is offering a no-cost leadership program for women OC members, including ride leadership. Check it out.

On to the ride... but first...

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in need of your additional participation. It doesn't require much more effort than you are presently exherting.

Every group that departs must have a Ride Leader. If there is no ride leader for a group, there is no ride for those individuals. It's quite simple. We need more experienced riders to step up and make sure the rides continue uninterrupted.

Please keep an eye out for future ride leader training and participate.
