Waterloo Cycling Club

👏 We had our first on-bike Learn to Group Ride session yesterday!

It may have been cold, but so many brave riders came out and rode with the club.

So great seeing new members out on the road, learning group riding skills, and becoming part of the community already 💛

Huge thanks to all the ride leaders who came out to support the group. We couldn’t do it without you! 🙌

See you all next week!

Come join a group of rad ladies as we explore the roads (and bakeries) around the Waterloo Region on June 6.

This ride is open to everyone, no club membership required, so invite your friends, family, neighbours to experience the joy of cycling at this casual and fun focused event.

📣 Adopt A Road Clean up: Saturday, May 2, 2026 📣
Calling ALL WCC Club Members: As part of our LEAD mandate, we’re holding our annual Hessen Strasse spring cleanup on Saturday, May 2.
Hessen Strasse has been a key part of our Tuesday rides for many years, and this is one way we can give back to the roads we ride.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with litter pickup, as well as members who would like to bring chilli or baked treats to support the event.

There will be two cleanup shifts:
9 am to 11 am
11 am to 1 pm

We need 10–12 volunteers per shift, and lunch will be provided after each shift.
Also looking for more slow cooker chefs to provide some post clean up nourishment :)

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. The club will provide safety vests and a brief safety overview before starting.
