We’re all set for our group ride to downtown Ottawa this Saturday — here’s everything you need to know before we roll!

🌤️ What to bring:

• Water (we’ll take plenty of water breaks!)

• A bike lock for when we’re at the restaurant

• Basic repair gear (if you have it): spare tube, tire levers, mini pump, etc. — just in case of a flat

• Helmet (recommended)

• Sunscreen and a light snack if you’d like

👟 What to expect:

🔁 Want to ride back with the group?
Laura will be biking home after lunch — that’s another 20 km ride, and you're welcome to join or make your own way back.

Let’s ride together! 🚲☀️

We’re teaming up with Let’s Bike Ottawa to show you how easy (and fun!) it is to ride from Trend Arlington to Ottawa’s downtown core using bike paths. Whether you're a confident cyclist or just getting started, this ride is for you.

🚴‍♀️ What to Expect:

• A ~20km ride one-way at a casual, family-friendly pace

• Rest stops and water breaks along the way

• We'll ride all the way to Bronson and Laurier to show how to safely follow the bike path into the downtown core, then loop back to Mill Street Brewery for a well-earned drink

📍 Starting point: 50 Bellman Drive
🏁 Finish: Mill Street Brewery
🔁 Please note: riders are responsible for their own return trip. The organizer will bike back after the restaurant and people are welcome to join or coordinate your own way back home.
