What to Expect

OWCC offers volunteer-run road and gravel rides to cyclists of many varying levels, skills, and abilities. Paces start at an average speed of around 20 km/hr and up. Most of our group rides average around 22 to 24 km/hr.

We also offer clinics for cyclists new to group riding, or for riders who have ridden with a group in the past and need a refresher.

Throughout the season, the club hosts and also participate in special events and rides within Ottawa, Gatineau, and surrounding areas. Expect socials, opportunities to learn how to service your bike, our annual Gravel Weekend ride, and more!

Finding & Joining Rides

All OWCC rides and events are listed in the Cyql app. This is where you will see all the most up-to-date details about a ride, confirm attendance, and communicate with Ride Leaders.

Not sure where to begin? Use the Cyql help guide to get started.

We encourage all members who have completed Ride Leader Training to create their own rides, even if it’s just a one time event. Just add your ride details into Cyql and go!
