For visitors
Sign the 2026 waiver and code of conduct before your first ride. The club's social rides are no-drop, 10 to 15 km at about 15 km/h; it said it may add one in mid or late October if the weather holds.
First time on this ride? Here’s the drill
- Bring
- a helmet, front and rear lights (it's a dark-hours ride), water, a spare tube or patch kit, a way to pay for the stop.
- Arrive
- Ten or fifteen minutes before 6:45 pm. Tell whoever's leading that you're new.
- Pace
- Expect 20–25 km/h: steady — you'll breathe hard on the hills. It's a drop ride: if you can't hold the pace, you'll finish alone. Fine if you know your speed. Not a first ride.
