Tuesday Road Group Ride (May to August)

6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Parry Sound Bikes

The Tuesday Night Road Ride has been going since Parry Sound Bikes opened in 2013. Every year it grows, but the intent remains the same: to get a group of people together for a social ride on some of the best roads in the area.

• Helmet and waiver required.
• Kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (that can ride with them).
• Bicycle shorts, water bottle, and rear flashing light highly recommended.

Cancellation Policy: The ride may be postponed due to inclement or forecasted inclement weather. We will decide at 3pm the day of the ride whether it is postponed to the next day (Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.). If the ride is postponed, we will post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In the event of inclement weather on Wednesday, the ride will be cancelled for the week.

Prologue Group: 20-25km route at under 25km/hour

This is a no drop group open to all cyclists on road, gravel, or hybrid bikes (including e-bikes). There will be lots of re-grouping and some instruction through out the ride.

Sportif Group: 35-45km route at 25-30km/hour (often 2 groups: 25km/hour and 28/hour)

This is a “re-group” ride, where we will re-group at major intersections and turns. Recommended for riders on road or gravel bikes (including e-bikes). The focus of the ride will be on covering kilometers with group riding etiquette and instruction throughout.

Echelon Group: 50-60km route at 30+km/hour

This is the “fast” group, and it is a drop group. Recommended for seasoned riders on road bikes. The aim of the ride is to go fast, ride in a cohesive group and maybe go after some Strava segments.

6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre (Nine Mile Lake Road)

Thursday evenings we meet up for a group mountain bike ride on the technical, single-track trails of the Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre.
