Come Ride with Us

Destination rides are periodic, one-day group excursions for members of Cycle Stratford. Guests are welcome to join us for a small fee and must sign a waiver.

Destinations are all within easy driving distance of Stratford. On the day of the ride, we meet at the parking lot at Upper Queens Park (at the corner of Richard Monette Way and Christopher Plummer Drive) prior to departure.

Bike transportation is available, but must be arranged in advance. Please contact us by email to register at least 2 days in advance of the ride if you would like to join us at [email protected]
