About Ride Night
ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO FILL OUT WAIVER BEFORE ATTENDING GROUP RIDES
Running wednesday evenings (weather dependent) at Bateman's Trail Shop, this weekly group-ride series will take you on some of the best single-track Toronto has to offer! Featuring beginner, intermediate, advanced and women's rides, this weekly event is great for everyone!
Ride Night is a great opportunity to learn more about the Don Valley mountain bike trails, and ride with like minded mountain bikers in an inclusive and friendly environment.
The ride will split into groups based on ability, each riding group will be led by an experienced rider with in-depth knowledge of the local trails.
NOTE: The Bateman's Kids' Group Ride has ended for the 2023 season! Youth Programming will resume next spring.
More Details:
Depart from the rear of Bateman's Trail Shop at 6:00 P.M.
Finish around 8:00 P.M. at Bateman's Trail Shop.
Pace: moderate/easy - notwithstanding that the Don Trails have a natural rigor.
We'll divide into groups based on ability as necessary - this allows for beginners to join!
The ride can be a little "stoppy/starty" as we regroup often and nobody is left behind!!
Have lights to get home, sometimes an extra layer if it's going to get cool, and try to carry a multi-tool and spare tube.
IMPORTANT - we cancel for rain or muddy trails - check our Instagram Story for an Update.
