In Toronto this fall for an internship. Plan on hitting up Guelph one of these week-ends to make sure you guys haven't "gone soft" on me.

I'm Cam; I don't get on the internet much.
Biking is my lifestyle more than it is my sport. However, I enjoy competition. I ride both mountain and road, moving more towards the road side lately. Worked at a bike shop in sales for a couple of years and that got me hooked (also got me started with what I needed to make the switch). Grew up on the Hydrocut in Kitchener. Never raced - not sure I have the time to - but I like to hammer whenever I can. Looking forward to the coming year!

Hey Cam, great to have you here. Be sure to make it out to the club social wednesday the 14th if you're free (details under the events thread), and definitely make it out for some club rides on the trails and the roads in the near future. The U-Cup B category is great for those who have little or no racing experience. If you can make it out to a race, you're sure to have a great time.

Hey everyone, I'm Alex Schmidt. I raced this year as a Junior Ex mtb. I had a pretty solid season, with an unfortunate end (didn't do so well at Provincials) but was keeping up with some of the leaders at Kelso. I'm stocked to be part of your guy's team and am looking forward to the U-cup season

Hi guys,
My name is Chris and I'm a third year B.Comm student, good friends with Alex Lefebvrevere. Mostly into road rides and riding my track bike around campus but I'd be open to racing if someone would donate an XL mountain bike lol. Anyways, I'll see you guys on some road rides for sure.
Cheers

Hey Chris, awesome to have you aboard. We're just in the process of putting together some regular weekly rides, and we're always posting up rides on the road and on the trails. Come out for a road ride soon, and with any luck, we can find you an XL frame and see you out at some U-Cups. Can't wait to have you out to a club ride!

Hey all,
I'm Allison and going into my last year here. I've been riding around Guelph for the past 4 years so it's about about time I joined the club. I like mountain biking and trail riding. Looking forward to some group rides and maybe some U-Cups?

I went to Mansfield for the first time after doing no mountain biking all Summer and just 4 rides in September and had the time of my life. It's an extremely friendly and accommodating event that was perfect for me as a complete beginner rider with no racing experience and questionable conditioning.
If you can get everything you need together, definitely come out, because you will have a wicked weekend.

I had come off a summer of traveling and zero bike rides, with only a few under my belt in September, just like Dan. It was a ton of fun and sometimes you can surprise yourself

As long as you have a sleeping bag and lots of warm clothes, you should be fine gear-wise (generally enough people who do have gear who can share).

Hey guys,
My names William and I'm a third year geography student (hopefully enviro sci by the end of this year). I used to mtb as a kid a ton until my bike got stolen...twice, so that bummed me out pretty hard, effectively putting an end to biking for awhile. I just picked up a new Jamis Durango 1 this summer and have biked around some of the trails around Guelph. I thought I would join up to meet some fellow bikers and ride some new trails!

Ahoy!
I'm Scott, I mainly ride XC and downhill, but also kick around town on a track bike or bmx depending on the mood.
Rode Albion 3-4 times a week during the summer with some Hydrocut and Kelso mixed in here and there. I am 5th year Psych and had never really checked out the Guelph MTB scene until this year. I had no idea there were some wicked trail systems here and usually hung up the XC bike for the season when I came back to Guelph for school. Super pumped to check them out!
