Join the Pedalhead family every Wednesday night during spring and summer! We're spicing our 25-year tradition with a new Gravel Group Ride alongside our regular mountain bike outing. We've got the ride to suit your stride, new to gravel or a seasoned pro. No membership is needed; ride with us and consider us for your next upgrade. Stay tuned for updates here. Let's explore Edmonton together!
The Ride
We now have 2 Group Rides: Mountain Bike and Gravel! Gravel is designed for drop-bar bikes with off-road capable tires.
Choose a group that suits your level of ability and fitness: Intermediate and Advanced.
All groups will wait for slower riders, but please know how to return to the shop if you get lost.
The group will wait for you if you suffer a mechanical and it can be fixed within 5 minutes.
Riders must be 18 years of age or older unless previously approved by shop staff (stop by or call to discuss).
The Groups
Intermediate - MTB riders should have reasonable off-road bike experience and be comfortable on most trails. Able to move at a moderate pace for 2+ hours with multiple stops.
Gravel riders should have ridden their bike off-pavement previously and could ride at a moderate pace(15-25kmph) for 2+ hours with multiple stops.
Advanced - MTB riders should be comfortable riding on any terrain level at high speed. Can ride for 2+ hours with very few stops. Possible sport-level racing experience.
Gravel riders should have gravel riding experience or advanced road riding experience and be able to ride off-pavement for 2+ hours at a higher pace(20-30 km/r) with minimal rest stops.
When and Where
We leave the shop at 6:00 p.m. and return around 8:30 p.m.
Parking is available in our front or rear stalls or 66th Ave, but not the motel lot.
Please arrive tuned up, hydrated and ready to ride. We have a floor pump, multitool and chain lube bottle available for you.
The Requirements
You need a helmet, flat repair gear and whatever food/water you require. We sell all of it. Show up early, and we'll be happy to help.
All riders must sign a waiver before their first ride of the season. These are available at the shop before every ride.
The Fine Details
To preserve the quality of our trails, we don't ride in wet/muddy conditions.
Group leaders are volunteers. Group riders are out for a fun time. Play nice and have fun.
