2021 CLUB GRAVEL RIDE

The ride will be hosted by our amazing ambassador, Jonathan Hilder. The goal of the ride is to provide a welcoming environment for Intermediate gravel riders. We will ride as a group, and stay together for the ride. Just a heads up, this is not a race, it is designed as an intermediate ride, and as such, the ride will be controlled and the pace respected by all who want to participate.

When?
Wednesday, September 15th, 6.00 pm.

Where?
The Giant Halifax Ride Club Gravel Ride will start at, the old Coke Plant Parking lot and consist of a 22 km out and back route at a pace of 15 km/hour, for a total ride distance of 45 kms along the BLT Trail. All riders must have lights, water, snacks, and also everything they need to fix a flat tire or minor mechanical. It will be dark before the ride ends, so if you do not have a light you will not be able to join the ride.

Why?
We want to get more people on bikes, and help expose new riders to a riding group environment.
