About this event



Routes These new routes in our gravel collection explore the largely unpaved cottage roads north of Upper Rideau Lake and Big Rideau Lake. They start and finish in touristy Westport.

Pace We do not ride at a target pace. We ride in one or more groups and at a pace that allows us to enjoy each other's company, appreciate the scenery, and get in some solid exercise.


Car Pooling
Please consider!

After Ride Refreshments We'll head into the
Woodfired Cafe  for coffee and to replenish our calorie deficits. The cafe is under new ownership with a great breakfast and lunch menu.
