About Ancaster Velo

Ancaster Velo offers a friendly environment for structured group road riding where cyclists can improve their cycling skills and fitness, and enjoy cycling by associating with other cyclists.  We have rides for almost everyone including easy paced, mid-paced and fast-paced group rides.

 

During cycling season (May to October), we offer two weeknight rides as well as two weekend rides. Start times vary depending on sunlight and temperatures so check the RIDES page for exact start times. 

  

We use quieter and the less traveled roads in the area from Smithville in the East; Paris, Ayr and Cambridge in the West and to the Campellville area in the north.  A route map and cue sheet will be available through the Ancaster Velo Ride with GPS (RWGPS) Club Account.
