Have you checked your tire pressure lately? I'll admit I haven't had any reason to for a few months, but getting a spring group ride on the calendar is exactly the motivation I needed. The Easter weekend is coming up, and we'd love to get the season started off right with a Good Friday morning ride.
It's early in the season, so we think it's prudent to check the crew's temperature before we commit to a route. If you're thinking about joining us next Friday, April 18, help us choose from the routes we have in mind:
Dawn Patrol (65KM in the Picton area)
River Rats (New! 35KM in the Marmora area)
Brisket & Brewski's (40KM in the Wellington area)
Steep the Tea (35KM in Quinte West)
All of these routes are categorized as Ramblers. These are established gravel routes that most likely have chip-seal and unpaved sections. Steep the Tea has a sandy/muddy section. 💪
While you're checking out the routes, take a peek at our 2025 events page. We've added a few Save the Dates for group ride dates and local events
