Lunch 11:30 - 1:00 pm Subway restaurants is back with a great assortment of subs for our lunch. Along with that will be soup and home made desserts. Stick around as we show pics of the morning ride and hang out with friends.

What to Bring/Wear
First things first. HELMETS are required. For those that don't have helmets some will be available to borrow but you may want to as a friend in case we run out. Early October is usually cool and rain, wind etc is possible. Wear layers, some moisture repelling clothes and if rain is forecasted, gloves, touque and even some bags to keep your feet dry during your ride. Of course, it could also be a beautiful fall day with no wind and blazing sunshine so keep an eye on the weather forecast as Ride Day approaches.

After Your RIDE
A great lunch will be served around noon and you are welcome to linger and enjoy after (or during your ride depending on how far you go). Riders are expected to depart or be picked up by 2pm.

Lost + Found
The lost and found will be located at the T-shirt desk.
