September 19th info:
Back again with another GGB Fall Series ride. Like last time we'll aim to keep things at a chill pace and the group together. We will stop to regroup in various spots and finish up at Trailway. We know that the RVC Short Track is happening as well, so if you want to go race some mountain bikes please do! Supporting these events keeps the scene alive!

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday!
IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR 2024:
With this group increasing in size, in 2024 all riders are be required to have a VeloNB membership and sign-up for our #GGB rides to participate. This helps us support cycling initiatives in the province, keeps you informed on happenings in the community, provides access to programs, benefits and events, but most importantly includes insurance coverage for riders (learn more about it here: https://www.ajg.com/.../cycling-provincial-collective.../). We want this community to continue to grow and this allows us to do so in a safe and smart way. Membership information will be collected once and recorded in our files for the season.
STEP 1:
Purchase your 2024 VeloNB membership here: https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=34187&lan=1&cartlevel=1
STEP 2:
Sign up for our 2024 #GGB rides: https://zone4.ca/register.asp?id=35414
What you can expect on a weekly basis:
- Rides will be approximately 45km to 65 km (shorter in the fall) in length depending on the time of year. We'll always post it ahead of time so you can get familiar with it.
- We will have multiple pace groups to give as many people as possible a chance to ride with others. Our party pace group hangs out at the back and typically averages at around 20-22km/h. These rides cover a significant distance and we ideally want everyone to get back before dark, thus please make an informed decision based on your current fitness level.
- We regroup at a local taproom after every outing for an apres-ride. The location of the week will be posted in the event and re-confirmed prior to leaving for our ride.
- Riders are responsible for their own equipment and are expected to carry everything they need to perform quick roadside repairs like fixing a flat. If you're unsure how to fix it, this group is full of friendly folks - we'll give you a hand if it happens!
- Rides will start from the Radical Edge Bike & Ski on Westmorland Street. Please aim to arrive at least 10mins early for briefing prior to departure. The group will leave at 6:15pm.
We can't wait to see you on Thursday!
