Anderson's Bicycle Club
We are very happy to announce that we are hosting group rides from the store with an official club! All of the rides start and finish at the shop, our goal is to have fun and enjoy progressing as a group.
FRIDAY NIGHT SOCIAL
This route will take us down to Taylor Creek and south to the Leslie St. spit with most of the ride being on paths. This is a no drop beginner ride at a friendly pace.
The ride starts at 7pm - a bike with drop bars and wider tires is recommended!
SUNDAY MTB
We now have 2 rides on Sunday - a morning beginner / intermediate mountain bike ride and an evening advanced mtb ride.
The first is a no drop beginner ride between 10-20km in the Don Valley singletrack with lots of breaks and re-groups. The ride starts at 8:30 am - this is a great way to get to know the MTB trails in the Don!
The second ride is an advanced ride starting at 5pm. It will be about 20-30km with lots of steep climbs and descents, mandatory drops and jumps. There will still be frequent regroups, but it is best to know the Don trails before attempting this ride.
OCA MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED
If you'd like to join you need to purchase:
OCA Community Membership (19+) - $45 / year or OCA Community Membership (Under 18) - $25 / year
Buying a license from the Ontario Cycling Association is mandatory - it gets you insurance coverage and supports cycling events in Ontario. 100% of your membership fee goes to the OCA.
Signing up gets you one free rental from the store - this is $100 value, doubles your investment and gives you the opportunity to ride a nice rental gravel, dual suspension MTB, or eMTB.
We also need you to sign the waiver before your first ride cause our lawyer said so.
All are welcome, and electric bikes are allowed (and encouraged). Helmets are mandatory, don’t forget your water and lights for the evening rides. We will update everyone on Facebook / Instagram / Strava if we need to change the status of rides based on weather.
