MEC Century Rides: Ontario

Bike

A little tougher

Half day

Spin your way through these scenic rides. Aid stations, mobile bike mechanics and free snacks and drinks are often part of the package, plus unlimited high-fives from stoked MEC members and staff.

Depending on the city, there are usually a few distance options available, so you can choose the ride that challenges you (or just enjoy the fun of following a well-marked route through somewhere new).

Meet-ups to help you train

Want to meet other riders? How about finding new riding routes in your city? Join our regular meet-up rides for some two-wheeled motivation and workouts before your century ride. Energetic and experienced MEC ride leaders are ready to help break up your week throughout the cycling season.

Staff tip

Canadian geese are more powerful in a group and so are you when you ride in a meet-up! Feel the power and push each other to new limits through the spirit of teamwork and friendly rivalry.
