Itinerary:
Starting in Erin, we will ride in a westerly direction along a well-maintained rail-trail as far as the village of Elora, where we will stop for lunch at the Old Mill Pub, which boasts a spectacular view of the Grand River. After lunch we will return from Elora to Erin.

If you register for this event, please ensure that you are capable of completing a ride of about 85 km, and that you can maintain a speed of at least 20 km per hour.

Each participant must wear a bike helmet, and must carry a spare tire tube and tire repair kit. If you do not have these things, you should purchase them at a local bike store. Each participant should also ensure that his/her bike has recently been tuned up. If your bike needs servicing, have it serviced before the date of the ride.


Required Items to Bring:
Main items: bike, suitable clothing and rain-gear, water and lunch, spare tire tube, basic bicycle repair kit.
Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Whether 9 people can actually participate in the event is contingent on whether there are enough cars going that can take both participants and their bicycles. Therefore, if you can carry additional passengers/bicycles with your vehicle, it is important for you to make this known when you sign-up. I will try to ensure that everyone is accommodated, on a first come, first serve basis.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:Directions to the starting point of the ride will be provided at the car-pool pick up (the Kipling Subway Station) on the morning of the ride.
Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):130Km

Carpool Cost: Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $33.54 (calculated at total Km * $0.258, effective Wednesday, May 1, 2024).
