Our Try-Out Ride program allows non-Members and Non-Riding Members to experience a Club ride at no charge - a great opportunity to meet Club Members while enjoying a relaxed urban ride in a group environment. Participation is limited to one ride per person, per year, in accordance with our insurance regulations.
Try-Out riders are only permitted on our Wednesday evening Cycle-in-the-City rides; these are rated at the R0 BEGINNER level, allowing participants to experience their first Club ride at a slower pace. Click here to view the Wednesday Ride List.
