Join the Oshawa Cycling Club

We would love to have you as part of the Oshawa Cycling Club family!

There are many benefits to belonging to a club. We have structured rides to accommodate many riding capabilities and styles.

You will enjoy regular weekday and evening rides out of Courtice and Brooklin. Special Event rides have always been a big hit with our members, most with remote starts and social time afterwards. Regularly scheduled gravel rides were a new feature that had tremendous success last year. A club favorite has always been our pizza nights following various rides.

Riding with a group allows for new friendships while improving your group riding skills using techniques such as a social pace line.

This year we started offering Zwift virtual rides so that we could maintain our fitness and conditioning levels and stay connected during the off season.

This year we are initiating new features:

The Cycle Club App, which provides easy access to detailed ride information, length of the route, riders attending, route and location maps, distance, elevation, and a discussion section.
Modifying our Safety Policy. We have added Safety Advocate (Richard Oldfield) and re-energizing our Safety Committee which will be comprised of club members, giving us the ability to actively identify cycling safety issues and engage the correct authorities to resolve issues that are important to our club members.

We look forward to having you join us at the Oshawa Cycling Club!
