Gravel Ride - Larose Forest (cancelled)
Event Cancelled
This event was cancelled on May 16, 2025 at 6:03 PM.
Reason:
The forecasted weather does not look good for the ride. Even though Richard wants to try our his new waterproof socks, I do not want to get my bike wet and muddy ;). Have a great long weekend! *** The deadline to register for the Rideau Lakes Cycling Tour (RLCT) is 1 June ***
Get the experience of riding beautiful unmaintained remote forest trails, without needing the fat tires, technical skills, wilderness survival kit, or the ability to climb 20% gravel hills!
Note: Group composition will depend on having a Ride Leader and interest for specific Distance/Speed combinations, as determined by who shows up at the start point.
