All Levels

Let's ride and celebrate Canada Day together with members from other area clubs following country roads to Port Colborne and returning to Firemen's Park to share in a "potluck tailgate" among our friends for life! What better way to celebrate the day!

Testing the route creation process

This is the longer of the two options for Saturday's Season Opening Rides. Because of our anticipated numbers tomorrow morning, we'll divide into groups according to your riding level to make it safer for everyone and make it easier for cars to maneuver around us! Come early and enjoy some coffee and treats and meet-up with some of your cycling buddies ahead of the ride, see you at 8:30 am tomorrow!

8:30 - arrive early for festivities!  We will roll at 9 am.  Opening weekend is about getting back on the road with friends and rides are "procession style" where the group may be a larger, mixed goup, although we will split B/C from the main group

NOTE:  This ROUTE second half is under construction due to "construction" on Queenston!  Come back for an update!  Marcus is ON IT!

Should this not be a rainout, this is one of the propposed routes for our Solstice Weekend Rides.

Starting from Firemen's down Mewburn, looping through old town Niagara past the lake and the golf course. Stopping at Balzacs and continuing back along Concession 1 and the Parkway.

Here's another route option for tomorrow's Season Opening Ride, a longer version for those wanting a little more that will split the group at  Chippawa Creek Road. Suitable for those who already have some spring riding in their legs!

When:   Saturday Sept. 15, 8:30 am

What:   Take a ride from our usual start spot in Fireman's Park, through the vineyards to St. David's (30K).  In St. David's,at the Lion's park, we will join up with the Outspokin' Slow Ride group who are hosting a free community cycling event to Celebrate Ontario by bike.(16K).  Stay for the BBQ and return with the group or as you wish, to Fireman's Park (10K).   This will be an all levels ride, at a Rec pace.

Heading out to Dunnville with a loop to Port Maitland area and coming back along the Lake Erie shore through Port Colborne

​There is a planned stop at Tim Hortons in Dunnville around the 80 km  point. If another stop is needed, we pass close to the Tim Hortons in Port Colborne.

Its going to be hot so be prepared and keep drinking. Work as a team and keep your groups together.
