Tuesday Road Group Ride (May to August)
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Parry Sound Bikes
The Tuesday Night Road Ride has been going since Parry Sound Bikes opened in 2013. Every year it grows, but the intent remains the same: to get a group of people together for a social ride on some of the best roads in the area.
Cancellation Policy: The ride may be postponed due to inclement or forecasted inclement weather. We will decide at 3pm the day of the ride whether it is postponed to the next day (Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.). If the ride is postponed, we will post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In the event of inclement weather on Wednesday, the ride will be cancelled for the week.
Prologue Group: 20-25km route at under 25km/hour
This is a no drop group open to all cyclists on road, gravel, or hybrid bikes (including e-bikes). There will be lots of re-grouping and some instruction through out the ride.
Sportif Group: 35-45km route at 25-30km/hour (often 2 groups: 25km/hour and 28/hour)
This is a “re-group” ride, where we will re-group at major intersections and turns. Recommended for riders on road or gravel bikes (including e-bikes). The focus of the ride will be on covering kilometers with group riding etiquette and instruction throughout.
Echelon Group: 50-60km route at 30+km/hour
This is the “fast” group, and it is a drop group. Recommended for seasoned riders on road bikes. The aim of the ride is to go fast, ride in a cohesive group and maybe go after some Strava segments.
Thursday Night MTB Group Ride (June, July, August)
6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre (Nine Mile Lake Road)
Thursday evenings we meet up for a group mountain bike ride on the technical, single-track trails of the Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre. Due to the demanding nature of our local trails this ride is recommended for intermediate/ advanced riders on mountain bikes. This is a “re-group” ride, where we will re-group at major intersections and turns.
Cancellation Policy: The MTB Group Ride will go ahead if it’s raining, however it will be cancelled in the event of dangerous weather (lightning, high winds, etc.). We will decide at 3pm the day of the ride if it is cancelled and post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Saturday Morning Road Ride (July, August)
7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at Parry Sound Bikes
The Saturday Morning Road Ride is a great way to kick off the weekend in Parry Sound. The aim of this ride is to get out early for a 2-hour ride with an average pace of 28-30km/hour. Recommended for road bikes, and riders who are comfortable riding in a group.
Cancellation Policy: In the event of inclement or dangerous weather the Saturday Morning Road Ride will be cancelled. We will post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter the morning if the ride if the ride is cancelled.
Parry Sound Bikes 100km Ride (July 14th)
Each year we're thrilled to host a fully supported, no-drop 100km road ride and this year is no different! We tailor this ride to encourage newer road riders to complete their first 100km; we plan the flattest route possible for our area and sprinkle in lots of rest stops with all our favorite snacks and drinks. This ride is not just limited to newer riders, but open to seasoned veterans as well (we'll likely split into a few groups). We do ask that all participants be comfortable riding in a group and have ridden enough this season to complete the route (we recommend being able to ride 70-80km before taking on a 100km).
Off The Rails Gravel Party 2024 (August 11th)
Veer off the paved road and join us for 105 kilometers of gravel goodness, followed by a meetup at Trestle Brewery! This fully supported event is run a little differently from most of our rides in that there are no set groups. Instead, riders will have the option to make their own groups with friends, ride with new people, or even by yourself if you prefer the solitary experience. We'll be meeting at Joseph Hannon Memorial Park, in Orrville, and ideally be ready to spin by 9 a.m. This beautiful route features a mix of paved sections, winding gravel roads and an optional section of the Seguin Trail for an added challenge. We will have two primary rest stops with the first being the deliciously popular Cornball Store at 35km into the route. The second stop will be provided by Missing Link Adventure Tours at 57km in. Rob and Julia have generously offered the use of their lovely property, just off Stisted Road, where riders can refill bottles, snack out on an assortment of goodies and have the use of their washroom facilities. After returning to Orrville, riders will be directed to Trestle Brewery back in Parry Sound. Trestle has reserved the Beirgarten just for us and has even included a complimentary beverage for each registered participant - there's no better way to end an epic ride!
