Road Riding
Weekday Morning Regular Group Rides
Participants usually ride as one group at a pace of approximately 17-23kph. Routes are determined by the attending riders and usually covered within a 3½ hour timeframe, including a short break. As fitness levels and endurance improve throughout the season, more challenging rides are often planned depending on the participating riders.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday Group Rides leave from west side of Kingsway Plaza near Townline & Highway #2 in Oshawa at 9:00 a.m.

Wednesday at the Orono Bakery
Tuesday Evening Group Training Rides
These rides are classified as training rides, suitable for those riders looking for a challenge. Routes are determined by the participants, and will cover approximately 50km within a 1½ hour timeframe due to limited daylight time.
Tuesday Evening Group Training Rides leave from Courtice Community Complex on Courtice Road just north of Highway #2 at 6:00 p.m. every Tuesday (weather permitting) starting the 1st Tuesday of May.
This ride usually has mixed attendance. This year a bigger effort will be made by OCC members to support this ride. It's best to confirm with other members on the Ride Board prior to your meeting. The Rookie Ride takes place at the same time and place, so say hello to our rookie members before you race away.

Weekday Morning Rides
Participants usually meet at either Long Sault, Ganaraska Forest or Durham Forest at 9:00 a.m. Rides take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings beginning in October when the weather makes it too cold to ride on the road.
Make Your Own Ride
The OCC Ride Board is a good place to check for ongoing ride information or to make your own ride. If you want to ride at a time when there is no organized group ride, post a message on the board and create your own ride and make some new friends.
