Steed Cycles Ride Club

Road cycling is an excellent way to get outdoors and have fun. Rides can vary from a Sunday afternoon ‘cruise’ around the local park, to an all day effort in preparation for a Gran Fondo. In every instance, we think it’s always better with friends! 2024 will mark the 12th year of the Steed Cycles Ride Club, and we’d be thrilled if you joined us.

Hello Everyone!

We have are working behind the scenes to make Ride Club 2024 as amazing as possible. We hope you are having a safe and healthy off-season, and hope you’re ready to ride with us again this spring.

The Details

Regular club rides will start Wednesday April 3rd, and we’ll be offering weekly Wednesday Rides from starting at 5:45-6pm.

We love riding bikes, but one of the best parts of riding bikes with great people is getting together after a ride for a meal, a beverage, and some laughs. Our post-ride BBQs have always been a cherished part of our club, and as with last year they're back to stay. We're already hungry.

For 2024, the fee is $225, and as always, includes a Steed Cycles jersey with an all-new design.

Like last year, we will be using the Steed Ride Club App for signups for all rides. We're working on some more features that will allow you to view more details about the route, and to access our library of routes for your regular non-club rides. The app can be downloaded in the Apple and Google Play stores by searching for "Steed Ride Club".

What’s Changing

Your club managers want to thank you for all the useful feedback many of you provided in our post-season survey, and all of the thoughtful conversations we've had with many of you through the season. We're committed to improving your experience every year and are open to any suggestions you have.

Last year, we offered two Sunday rides per month from May until August. Since our Wednesday rides are much more popular, we are focusing on those rides this year. Although we will not be scheduling Sunday rides from the beginning, where there is demand and leader availability, we expect we will be able to offer some weekend rides (on and off road) on an ad-hoc basis. This structure for the club will allow us to make sure there are always enough leaders for us to raise the capacity for our Wednesday night rides, and increase the leader/rider ratio.

Cycling BC Memberships

We know that many of you take advantage of Cycling BC memberships for race licences, but they are also great for recreational cyclists. If you're not racing, you can get a "Cycling for All" annual membership for $93, which includes ride accident, and general liability insurance. This is already a great deal, and provides some peace of mind when out on the road, but benefits do not end there. There are great discounts available as well, including $50 in savings for Evo Car Share users (great for cyclists because their cars have bike racks and can get you and your bike home if you have a mechanical issue).

WE'RE FULL FOR 2024
