Ganaraska Freewheelers Cycling Club

We are a unique group of people—our activities reflect our collective appreciation of fitness, food and friends! Our members take turns hosting rides from various start locations, rewarding ourselves with after-ride socials in restaurants, members’ homes or public parks.  We ride twice weekly, from April to the end of October, typically riding 50-60 kilometres  (with 30-kilometre shorter options) at a moderate pace. E-bikes are welcome. We are active year-round — cycling of course, but also hiking and cross-country skiing during non-cycling seasons.

The Ganaraska Freewheelers are on Facebook. In fact, it’s how members stay connected, announce rides and other social events and share our pictures. Our Facebook Group page is a private group, so if you’re a member, swing on by and join us!
