About this event

RWGPS Route Links

NOTE: We have connected with The Cove Waterfront Grill and expect that the snags we encountered there last time will be resolved.  

The Routes
 Come join us for a Canada Day weekend ride. We'll head east out of Treasure Island onto some of the lovely country roads in Leeds & Grenville United Counties. We've reversed the direction on Abby Dawn Rd since our last outing on these routes. This means all the routes will finish with a fun downhill. And since it's Canada Day weekend, make sure that you look in your closet for something red to wear!

 

Parking Please park on the Kingston/west side of the restaurant around the perimeter of the parking area.

Pace Groups When registering, be sure to indicate your preferred pace group:

  • the short and medium distance routes will generally be ridden at a D or C pace
  • the long and extra long distance routes will generally be ridden at a B or A pace

After Ride Refreshments  After ride refreshments will be at The Cove Waterfront Grill. The restaurant specializes in dishes prepared with locally sourced fresh ingredients. The summer produce season is well under way, and so expect some appetizing menu options!

 

Ride Preparation  Riders should be familiar with Ontario's Safe Cycling Guidelines, and bring the following with them on the ride: 

  • a cell phone (if available), with the app "what3words" installed
  • a copy of the ride route (downloaded to a mobile device or printed)
  • a spare tube, pump and repair kit
  • sufficient hydration and nutrition
  • health card
  • document showing address and emergency contact information
The Saddle up Sundays Program Saddle Up Sundays aims to offer a Sunday cycling outing for all levels of riders on a varied collection of the most scenic and the safest country roads close to Kingston. The rides include stops at the best coffee shops along the way, and finish up with refreshments at some great restaurants. We’re a work in progress, so please feel free to suggest modifications to our program.
