NOTE: The start location for Monday night rides is changing. It’s now at the park on Carlisle St. between Ewing and Westwood.

Club members wanting a leisurely, easy paced ride are encouraged to come out to the regular Monday night Novice Rides. They’ll typically be about 1 hour in length and be along flat, easy routes, mostly in-town. Learn to use your gears, how to ride with a group, how to interact with traffic and most of all just come out and have some fun. Experienced riders are encouraged to support our newest members by coming out and sharing your expertise.

This evening’s ride is open to anyone who wants to ride including non-members. It’s a great in-town route that promises to be pleasantly easy. Riders do not need to be members of the club, but they will be required to sign a waiver that will be available at the beginning of the ride. Let’s see if we can encourage some friends and family to come out and join us! (Helmets are required)

Start time: 6:30pm

This one is our very first evening ride and it’s open to anyone who wants to ride including non-members. So grab a friend and bring them to our second community bike ride. They do not need to be members of the club. Hopefully we’ll see some new faces! As planned, the ride will be about 13.5km and take place totally in town where the routes are flat.

Non-members are encouraged to come out and give it a try. The only requirement will be that they wear a helmet and sign an OCA waiver that we will have available at the beginning of the ride.

The threat of rain must have kept people at home on Sunday because only thirteen of our club members showed up and while we waited for new riders from the community, none came so we did our own thing and went 54km. Club members who wish to extend the 13km ride are more than welcome to do so after the planned community ride is over.
