About this event


April rides will be weather and trail condition dependent.

If registered members are interested we will go to Juniper Cafe for lunch following the ride.

A simple ride north on the K&P for 15 to 20 kms. Out and back will be approximately 30 to 40 kms total with an option to turn back earlier if a member prefers. Bring a snack and hydration as there will not be anywhere to buy a snack. Hope to see you!


A leisurely weekly ride of 30 to 40km (group consensus) with a coffee/ice cream break in the middle for most rides. As most of our rides are out and back, there will be an option to turn around earlier and shorten the ride. 
This ride is ideal for those new to cycling or those getting back in the saddle after a few years away. Most rides will be either on the K&P or Cataraqui Trail. A few rides will feature a trail further afield keeping within an hour and a quarter from Kingston. We will avoid riding on the road. A short portion may require a road to get to refreshment establishment. Pace will be 10 to 18 km/hour (some members may ride a little quicker).

Hope to s
ee you!
