LOCATION
The first six rides will depart from the south east corner of the No Frills parking lot, (formerly Extra Foods) Southglen Shopping Centre, (740 St. Anne’s Rd.) The last ride will leave from the MS Society Office (#100-1465 Buffalo Place) and will coincide with advanced check-in/info night.
Just like the MS Rides, these are rain or shine but not lightning, hail or crazy windy (winds gusting above 50km/h).
Depending on the abilities of the group we will have 2 destinations:
GRANDE POINTE, A 5 km ride south to a 9.5km loop where groups will split up into different abilities and work on improving skills with hands-on coaching. Some may only do one lap, where others may do 3 laps. Riders will all head back together. The more advanced group may find themselves working up to a 25km/h average speed as they work to improve their skills in Paceline riding, drafting and riding in an echelon. For others the focus may simply be to improve their own speed and endurance while having knowledgeable coaching available.
ST. ADOLPHE, this route offers more of a simulation to the MS bike tours. It is a 50km return trip out St Mary’s Road, less coaching and more riding.
