Here you will find routes that we have reviewed for those interested in touring the Capital Region and beyond.
One Year with GCC: Overcoming Challenges, Racking Up Kilometres
I remember that first ride to Wakefield perfectly: I weighed 92 kg and was so afraid I wouldn’t make it, as I had never attempted a distance like that before. My heart was racing, every climb felt like I couldn’t go any further, and I was struggling to maintain an average speed of 22 or 23 km/h.
Wakefield Time Trial 2026
On September 6, we held the second edition of the Wakefield TT, our fourth time trial event in two years. For me, this edition was shaped by two experiences: the challenge of adapting the route because of scheduled roadwork, and the joy of seeing our team of volunteers continue to grow.
Ultrafondo 2026: the plan worked because we knew how to change it
For Laura, José, and me, that edition had left us with a bittersweet feeling. We had broken our personal distance records, but we had not reached the goal we had set for ourselves. In the end, I was the one who made the decision to stop the attempt. We still had kilometers ahead of us on a road that was in poor condition, and the lack of visibility was going to turn the final stretch into a risk that simply did not make sense for us as a group.
What Brings Us Together Can Also Pull Us Apart
Sometimes, it becomes easy to make enjoyment depend on winning, or on beating someone else. Sometimes, we hold on to the idea that simply because we deserve something, we should achieve it. And many other times, we confuse believing we are better with being better than others.
Manotick Time Trial 2026
This year’s edition marked an important step forward for the event, with growth in overall participation and a stronger presence of women riders compared to the previous year. The event also showed increasing interest in the team time trial format, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for riding, competing, and working together.
Beyond The Ride
The funny thing is that, despite being “the most connected,” that day we were disconnected. We couldn’t talk or exchange messages on the road. Live location sharing never worked.
And still, the summit brought us together.
It was a brief, emotional, almost timeless meeting—short in minutes, permanent in memory. A shared achievement, a memory built at altitude.
Infinity Virtual Tour: 4 weeks, 4 challenges, one goal: consistency as a team
The Infinity Virtual Tour is more than an indoor race series — it’s a progressive experience built to celebrate what matters most when we ride together: consistency, teamwork, and commitment. Over four consecutive weeks, teams of 2–3 riders took on four stages on MyWhoosh, under a points system that rewards not only performance, but also full attendance and collective effort.
Wakefield Time Trial 2025
On Sunday, September 28, the roads between Chelsea and Wakefield became the stage for another exciting chapter in the cycling scene of the Capital Region. A total of 47 riders lined up to take part in the Wakefield Time Trial — an event that once again blended competition, camaraderie, and community spirit.
Annual Ultrafondo GCC 2025
This ride gave us more than just kilometers: it strengthened bonds, tested our resilience, and taught us that true victory lies in pedaling with others in mind.
