Big Gravel Ride – BGR
The BGR is a club wide event with a supported rest stop and a pizza and bevy social afterwards at our sponsor Fixed Gear Brewing. It started in 2019 and has functioned through the pandemic – so far.
We guarantee there will be sections that are unknown territory for you. We ride this as a club as permitted by provincial and OCA guidelines.
This Ride Event is for club members only and you must pre-register.







About the 2022 route: It’s 90 km long. The start and finish are at Fixed Gear Brewing, our gracious host and sponsor. There are three speed groups each with a different start time, Fast, Moderate and Recreational. Sign up soon to insure you get a spot! Several club members have ridden this already and given their seal of approval. The route is quite a treat!
