All this snow sleet and frigid weather has me of course thinking of the fine riding we will be doing in a short few weeks time. For those that don’t know, the 4th month and 20th day is the long-term average “green light for all the Don trails” based on historical records. It is known. 4/20 is also the unofficial name of the first group ride of spring (regardless of calendar date).
Lets ride! Saturday, April 21. Loblaws Redway at… 4:20 (duh!)
No set rain date at this point because it is always glorious this day! It is known.
Pacing for this ride has been a bit of an issue in the past with some who have been training all winter and itching to hammer, and others who have not been on a bike since fall, so we will split into a few group at the cricket tree with different routes depending on appetite.
As always, this is an informal ride, and not an organized club event. There are no formal rules to follow, but the aim of the ride is to have fun and ride as hard as we can. Let’s welcome new riders who also want to have fun and ride hard, and, just as importantly, let’s respect each other. We don’t want to create an intimidating, hostile or discriminatory ride where people don’t feel welcome. Sexism, racism, homophobia or any other kind of behaviour that undermines dignity and self-esteem of others makes everyone uncomfortable and will not be treated as frivolous. If you encounter hurtful language or harassment of any kind, please let someone know and they will do their best to support you.
Afterparty at the Rocket… details to follow soon!

Big Air after party at the rocket!
Mikester, cmos and DJ Don Destructor will bombard you will all the hard rock and heavy metal you could hope to air guitar/bass/drum or scream to. Yes it will be face melting, and yes it will be cranked to 11. Check out the amazing poster below by Alen!
Though this is a “bring your own food” affair, chef Dan will be working the grill with some of his smoking chicken on offer in three fine flavours:
• Blackened Lime
• Dry Rub Curry
• Chili BBQ RubThere is a BBQ! Stop by at the Loblaws on the way to pick up your own food to grill, sides, or something else if that is your preference.
We fire it up after the ride (sundownish) and expect to go late!

What about ebikes in the Don? Can we still disparage them or is that so 2017?
