About this Event
Location: 9 King St. W. Dundas, ON
Meeting Place: Freewheel Cycle Dundas
Departure Time: 6:00pm
These gravel and adventure bike rides are for cyclists with moderate physical fitness and skill level who are seeking to socialize and improve their skills and fitness with a group of likeminded riders. These no-drop rides will take riders on a mix of multiuse trails, gravel roads, paved and dirt paths. This may include sand, gravel, mud, etc. Ride distances will range from 20-40km, starting off easy and relaxed at the beginning of the season and working up to an average pace of 15-25km/h.
The location of the ride will change from week to week so that we can explore all the amazing gravel and trail networks in the area. All information on When & Where to meet will be communicated to attendees in the description of the weekly eventbrite events. If a ride needs to be canceled due to weather or otherwise, this will be posted on the Freewheel Cycle social media platforms.
As a participant, you are expected to:
- Plan to arrive early enough for your pre-ride preparations.
- Wear a cycling specific helmet less than 5 years old and have an appropriate bike in good working order. (Sorry but for your safety: no department store bikes!) Our service technicians are very talented but they are not magicians and cannot service your bike before the ride.
- Bring water. Staying hydrated is important so bring your own water and maybe a snack to keep up your energy.
- Bring snacks. We ride for a few hours and have planned stops for nutrition.
- A moderate level of fitness required.
- Be self-sufficient. Mechanical issues happen and while our leaders are happy to help as best they can, each rider should carry a mini-pump, spare tube and quick link suited for their own bike.
- Dress appropriately for the activity and weather conditions. Bug spray and/or sun block is recommended.
- Be considerate and supportive to others.
- Ask questions! Our ride leaders are happy to share their knowledge and want you to feel supported.
