About this event


Starting in Yarker from the Ridge Runners parking lot on the Cataraqui Trail (Cutler and Sidings St) we will ride west to the end of the trail in Strathcona. On our return we will stop in Newburgh at Abrams Bakery for refreshments. We will continue back to Yarker where riders will have the option to continue east for additional kms. The ride from Yarker return is approx. 30kms.

A leisurely weekly ride of 30 to 40km (group consensus) with a coffee/ice cream break in the middle for most rides.

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).

As most of our rides are out and back, there will be an option to turn around earlier and shorten the ride. We may also be able to accommodate a longer ride based on the group consensus at the start and the availability of a leader.

Hope to s
ee you!
