XC Toonie Rides
Popular bi-weekly rides for adults and youth
Every second Wednesday from April – September we meet at a designated location, sign you up and time your ride for you. The cost is a mere $2 for SORCA members. At the end of the ride you will definitely enjoy the great BBQ food and socializing. Rides often take average riders 60 – 90 minutes depending on the length of the course. Expect some intermediate single track and if you are not comfortable riding some of the tricky spots, take your bike for a hike. A lot of riders use this weekly event as a training tool for the Test of Metal.
SORCA Toonie Rides are open to SORCA members only. Riders must be 12 years of age and up. There is a one-day ride fee of $22 for non-members.
For ride results, please see the 2011 XC Toonie results page.
