Travel by Gravel

Location: 9 King St. W. Dundas, ON

Meeting Place: Freewheel Cycle Dundas

Departure Time: 6:00pm

These gravel and adventure bike rides are for cyclists of any skill level with moderate physical fitness who are seeking to socialize and improve their skills and fitness with a group of likeminded riders. These no-drop rides will take riders on a mix of multiuse trails, gravel roads, paved and dirt paths. This may include sand, gravel, mud, etc. Ride distances will range from 15-30km, starting off easy and relaxed at the beginning of the season and working up to an average pace of 15-20km/h.

The location of the ride will change from week to week so that we can explore all the amazing gravel and trail networks in the area. All information on When & Where to meet will be communicated to attendees in the description of the weekly eventbrite events. If a ride needs to be canceled due to weather or otherwise, this will be posted on the Freewheel Cycle social media platforms.

As a participant, you are expected to:

• Plan to arrive early enough for your pre-ride preparations.
• Wear a cycling specific helmet less than 5 years old and have an appropriate bike in good working order. (Sorry but for your safety: no department store bikes!) Our service technicians are very talented but they are not magicians and cannot service your bike before the ride.
• Bring water. Staying hydrated is important so bring your own water and maybe a snack to keep up your energy.
• A moderate level of fitness required.
• Be self-sufficient. Mechanical issues happen and while our guides are happy to help as best they can, each rider should carry a mini-pump, spare tube and quick link suited for their own bike.
• Dress appropriately for the activity and weather conditions. Bug spray and/or sun block is recommended.
• Be considerate and supportive to others.
• Ask questions! Our ride leaders are happy to share their knowledge and want you to feel supported.
