Join us on Saturday, August 17 to tour the forested trails of Sherwood Forrest. Starting at Sheridan Park, travel through the community's winding trails and experience nature from all around. Whether you are new to cycling or have been doing it for a while, there will be routes ranging from 8km to 16km, exploring cycling friendly roads and trails. Specific route details will be posted one week before the ride. Can't make the in-person ride? Don't worry, every ride will be available for the rest of the year so you can explore your neighbourhood by bike whenever you have the time!
