Long Road Ride - 82 km from Sarawak Family Park to Wiarton and back with a Coffe Break
2025-08-17 08:30 - 12:00 (America/Toronto) | Sarawak Family Park, 318455-318575 Grey Rd 1, Owen Sound, Ontario, N4K 5N4, Canada
Start Time: 8:30 am at Sarawak Park
Distance: 82 km
This weeks ride will roll out from Sarawak Park at 8:30 AM for a scenic spin through Big Bay to Wiarton — with a little pit stop at Lost Art Espresso for a well-earned caffeine fix and small treat. Then back in the saddlle for our return trip to Sarawak Park through Wolseley, Kemble & Balmy Beach.
We’ll ride easy, sip slow, and pretend that hills aren’t that bad.
Expect gorgeous views, good laughs, and the kind of coffee that makes your legs forgive you.
Ride will be at a steady B pace. If there is a larger group we will break into groups set according to pace expectations.
Hope to see you there!

Gravel ride - Kelso Beach soccer field parking lot
2025-07-26 08:30 - 12:00 | Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Soccer Field Parking Lot, 2nd Avenue West, Owen Sound, Ontario, N4K 2H, Canada
This route was updated on July 18.
With many of my favourite roads and trails affected by resurfacing work, water damage, and construction, finding decent gravel roads these days is turning out to be a challenge.
The west side rail trail, sideroad 15 trail, Hindman sideroad, and concession 14 Rd are all in good shape though so that’s basically the route. It’s a 55 km (433 m of climbing) out and back ride with a short end loop on beautifully shaded Lisk sideroad. Those looking to reduce the distance by 8 km can turn around at Zion Church road.
Mark Walker will be leading this ride. Please offer to act as an additional ride leader if you are available.
