Overview of our Rides

Road Rides

Group road riding is an excellent way to develop smooth biking handling skills, as well as increased fitness stamina and power.

While on the roads, all group riders represent Brant Cycling Club and are therefore committed to adhering to the Group Ride Guidelines.

Safe group riding takes practice, and requires a lot of cooperation and open communication. All of our rides are No Drop rides, except certain advanced road rides. 

Please note: We encourage all riders joining BCC for the first time, regardless of ability and experience, to attend a Saturday morning social ride or stick with the Wednesday <26 group ride. It is an important step in learning how our Club and group rides function and the expectations of all BCC members.

Youth Program

Our youth programming is on hold until we make sure we are organized and insured to introduce mountain to youth safely and effectively.

Currently the Woodstock Cycling Club has a youth program, and The Turkey Point Mountain Club often has youth events.

In the meantime, check out the Rotary Bike Park in Waterworks Park!

Trails & Trail Maintenance

Brantford and Brant County is blessed with a large amount of land that is
ideal for mountain biking trails.

The role of the TD&M Committee is to work closely with local governments, conservation authorities, landowners and other stakeholders to obtain the required permissions to build and maintain cycling infrastructure, including mountain biking trails.

Once approvals have been obtained and trail design is complete, the TD&M Committee will organize ‘work parties’ where local volunteers can come out to learn trail building skills and participate in the creation of local trail networks.

Gravel Rides

Looking for something different? Tired of sharing the road with trucks and vehicles? Not quite ready for a single track path through the forest? Maybe a Gravel Ride is what you are looking for?

Our Gravel Rides explore paved and hard packed trails and lesser used roads in, through and around Brant County. Think of this as a go anywhere ride on your go anywhere bike.

MTB Rides!

New as of 2023, we now offer weekly Mountain Bike Rides starting in Paris and Brantford. We do offer mountain biking for all levels. Because of the nature of the terrain in Brantford and Brant County, it’s worth letting us know your comfort level so we can modify the route accordingly.
