The Friends of the K&P and Cataraqui Trail Rides

These rides are for trail riders looking for longer outings on the K&P and Cataraqui trails.   They have riding durations between 2 to 3 hours, with additional time for planned stops along the way. 

The trails vary from almost groomed surfaces, to loose gravel, to pot holes to gates and other obstructions.    So riders must be confident they can handle these types of variations.   

 

About bikes, riders should ride bikes that are intended for trails such as: mountain, hybrid and gravel bikes.  Road bikes are not adequate except for riders with exceptional bike handling skills!   

 

Leadership for the ride will be provided by Laurie Whitby, Robert Tolley, Bruce Hopkins, Ed Paul and Mary-Jean McIntyre.  Other riders may be assigned supporting roles as needed.

The Water Hole:  Riders can take a plunge into Sydenham Lake at the half way point!

 

Safety Presentation: The first order of business will be to review “social distancing” requirements and safety on the route.

  • At all times, we must maintain "social distancing" of at least 2 meters from other riders particularly at all ride stops and at the half way point.
  • We will cover drafting and side by side riding during the Safety Presentation.
  • Helmets are mandatory!

 

Organization: Based on the number of registrants, we will arrange groups of riders no greater than 10 in number based on self- seeding.

 

Riders are expected to bring the liquid and food supplies they will need for the ride.
