All the information listed here is from the 2025 season. 2026 details are coming soon!
Overview
We offer weekly, monthly, and one-off road and gravel rides for OWCC members who have previous group riding experience. All rides are volunteer organized and happen in pretty much every corner of the National Capital Region.
In addition to the rides listed here, we run and participate in various special events around the National Capital Region.
All organized rides will be listed in the Cyql app. Use it to see details about a ride, confirm attendance, get updates, and ride leaders questions. If you are joining a group ride, you must be pre-registered for the ride in Cyql before attending.
If you’ve never ridden in a group before, or have and feel like you need a refresher, we recommend looking at our Clinics.

Can’t Find a Ride You Like?
We encourage all members to create their own rides if they’re not seeing what they want. If you have completed Ride Leader Training, you can plan your own ride, even if it’s a one time event.
