This ride offers a no-drop option for cyclists who prefer a more leisurely pace. The no-drop group will wait at turns and after big hills, but we expect you to be prepared to complete the route, with just a few pauses to regroup. Please arrive a little early so you can introduce yourself to the ride leader and tell them you want to join their group.

For other riders, this a Tourist level ride, and you should be prepared to be self-sufficient. If you are uncertain whether this level is appropriate to your riding level, click here.

Routes 48km, 69km (Preferred), 82km: click here.

Ride leader: Martin Lansche

For those following the the 69 and 82 km routes,  you'll take quiet country roads to the Hockley Valley General Store for a lunch/washroom break. The short route includes a couple of km of rail-trail with a mid-ride stop in Tottenham at Salvatore's Bakery (and coffee shop). All 3 routes cross Highway 9 at stop lights for safety reasons.

Washroom facilities: portable toilets are sometimes available in the parking area, or at the nearby park to the north. Alternatively, there are nearby Tim's & McD's on Hwy 27.

Check the website 2 hours before the start time - the ride could be rescheduled or cancelled at the discretion of the organizers.
