Remember how much fun bike riding was as a kid? Grab your bike and pedal free with the Wildhorse Cycling Club. With weekly group rides starting April 17 through September, join the Wildhorse in exploring local trails and socializing with riders of all ages and abilities.

Meet at the Eager Hills – Fraggle Rock parking lot at 7 p.m.; Tuesday for the Ladies-only cross country mountain bike ride and Thursdays for a Co-ed ride. Rails-to-trails group rides will run throughout the summer for all abilities and types of riding. Meet in the Home Depot parking lot at 9 a.m. the second Monday of each month.

In addition to the group rides offered by the Wildhorse Cycling Club, there is a group of local road riders that meets weekly for the Tuesday Night Road Ride. Riders can meet at the Baker Street Clock Tower at 5:30 p.m., or alternatively, at 6:30 p.m. at the HWY 95A pullout near the Airport Access Road turnoff.

The Wildhorse Cycling Club was started last year by a group of riders that were excited about the huge potential that Cranbrook and area has for cycling. The club’s goal is to support the existing cycling community and promote the area’s riding by bringing people together with group rides and events. The Wildhorse Cycling club is a non- profit society registered with the Province of BC, is registered with IMBA (International Mountain Bike Association) Canada, and insured by Oasis insurance.

Group rides are a great way to get active, have fun, and meet new people. Come out and discover the local areas and trails. Every group ride will cater to riders at all riding abilities, from beginner to advanced.
