Experienced riders are encouraged to support our newest members by coming out and sharing your expertise.

Let’s talk routes. Got a route idea?

We’ve developed a few of our own already, and we tend to borrow heavily from the Ganaraska Freewheelers too, but we need some new route ideas for our Club rides.Continue reading→

We’re going to do Thursday’s ride all over again for those who might have missed it. Meet at The Mill parking lot once again for a route that take you up and down some of the hills that we just can’t avoid when we head north of Cobourg.

If taking it easy is more your style, please mention your interest in a short, leisure ride and we’ll organize something for you that heads into town where the land is flat!

We’re going to meet at The Mill parking lot once again for a hilly, challenging route for both the short and the long distances. (This is the route that was planned a couple of weeks ago but was cancelled due to rain.)

This Monday is the first of what will be regular Monday night rides. As mentioned in the announcement earlier last week, these Monday rides will be designed especially for new riders, but all club members are welcome. No hills, speed, just nice slow riding. The ride will be an easy ride throughout town and be about an hour long. If members wish to extend it, they are certainly welcome to do so. Did we emphasize that the ride will be an easy one?  🙂

Start time: 7:00pm
Start Location: The Metro Parking Lot (front parking lot, at the northwest corner)
Ride Leader: Roy Martin

Please comment below if you are planning to ride so that Roy knows how many to expect. Also, mention if you are interested in extending.

These rides are for new members, beginners, and leisurely riders and lead by experienced club members. These are “No Drop” rides which means that nobody will be left behind on their own. They will take place mostly in-town and be approximately an hour long. The distance and pace will be dictated by the those who attend.

The goal is to learn how to ride in a group, how to interact with traffic and get some tips on how to use gears effectively. Experienced club members are encouraged to come out and support new riders in our club.

Novice Rides will take place on Monday nights starting in June. For the month of June the rides will leave from the Northwest corner of The Metro parking lot at the Northumberland Mall at 7:00pm.

This is Bike Week! Our Club is hosting 3 rides for members of the community to try out our club and the first of them will occur on Sunday. Since we’ll have people of all ages and ability, the rides will be shorter and easier than usual, measuring about 15km or less for each ride and take place primarily in town where the routes are flat.

For the rides during bike week, non-members will be allowed to ride on one occasion only with our club. 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.

It is hoped that many of the experienced cyclists will share their expertise in assisting with the new cyclists who may be present on the ride.

Club members who wish to extend the ride are more than welcome to do so after the planned community ride is over.
