Winter Rides

From September through to May, the Wedgewood Cycling Team heads to South, to Richmond, where the rain tends to be a bit more forgiving than near the mountains. Of course, be prepared to battle the wind.

At the start of the Winter season, we kick things off with more a casual, easy ride for those recovering from summer racing or holidays.

If you're thinking of joining the team, this is a great place to start by getting to know some of the members. In fact, we strongly encourage new members to take part in these rides.

Fenders please!
Please remember the key to a successful and happy winter ride is a good set of fenders.

Ride Route and Details

Throughout the winter the rides get longer as we prepare for the spring and summer race season. As well, we typically add sections of higher intensity pace-line work to build fitness and form.
