A series of Australian pursuit style races for all abilities
Full & Metric Century Rides
Thursday Night Hammer Ride
Give it everything you’ve got!
​
This is intended to be a hard training ride for all ability levels (groups A, B, C). Members may practice hill sprints, pacelines, and not going to the front. If you cannot keep up, you will be left behind but since the course is a circuit, there is an opportunity to catch up again later. If that happens, you should consider dropping to a slower group for the next ride.
​
You are urged to have high intensity and properly installed front and rear lights when you ride in the evenings
​
When: Thursday evenings, early May (usually the first Thursday) - early September (usually the last Thursday after Labour Day). Actual dates coming soon.
​
Time: All rides leave at 6:15PM
​
The group will ride to the rendezvous at the Bendor and Graves Tract parking lot on McCowan Rd (just south of Herald Rd).
​
Ride enters and stops in the parking lot for last minute announcements and to break up into A, B & C groups.
Ride leaves parking lot at 6:45 to head up to the course, A group off first, with B and C groups a minute later.
Length of Ride: Approx. 2 hours
​
The route is the same each week and incorporates a loop so that those who get dropped have an opportunity to re-join the ride. Depending on the month, we do between 1 and 4 loops, so be aware of the amount of daylight remaining and have lights with you at all times.
