Group Ride: August 14th

About this event

This is a NO DROP women's ride. That means: no one gets left behind! We will meet at the Samsara shop and ride for 75 -90 min on a route set by our ride leaders, Maux Elworthy and Michaela Khan. The ride starts at 6.00pm, so please arrive at 5.45pm to meet the group and get the safety debriefing.

The typical route will begin at the storefront and follow two loops through Stanley Park, but is subject to change for special rides. Prior cycling experience is necessary. However, this ride is meant to help ease riders to become more comfortable with group rides, so we are here to help and guide those without as much experience.

We HIGHLY recommend getting a Cycling BC membership. For only $93, you are covered in case of any accident while out riding. Please note: if you do not have a valid Cycling BC membership, you will be required to fill out a waiver in order to join our group rides.
