GCBT is a recreational cycling club promoting the exploration of the quiet scenic roads of South Central Ontario and the Golden Horseshoe, and occasionally branching beyond.
Event leaders host weekend day rides (usually Sundays) from April through October, with distance choices generally from 40 to 100 kms, mostly on paved roads though we are branching out to provide some gravel road rides as well (Saturdays). With a broad membership base, you are sure to find someone to ride your pace and distance! The club also hosts some multi-day cycling events that take us exploring by bike much further afield (areas such as Kingston, Barrie, Peterborough, etc).
Lunch and cafes usually feature on our routes to provide opportunities to socialize.
Turn-by-turn navigation is provided for your smartphone or bike computer.
Helmets are mandatory.
Join us for scenic routes, quiet roads and great companionship. Membership is only $40.

Gravel Charity Ride
Come ride with us! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Aboyne Rural Hospice's and Elora Cataract Trailway's first ever fundraising cycling event, Ride to Remember and Renew. Funds raised go directly to support the building of a new ten-bed hospice for rural Wellington County and preserving a safe, accessible, and beautiful multi-use trail that supports health and tourism along with sustainable transportation. Proceeds will be split evenly between our two causes.
🎉Registration fees and pledges collected by our cyclists bring us closer to our shared mission: uniting community, compassion, and active living while supporting end-of-life care and preserving accessible natural spaces.
Cyclists are kindly encouraged to fundraise on behalf of our event by starting their own fundraising page HERE or at this address: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/peer-to-peer/ride-to-remember-and-renew-cyclist-fundraising
Top fundraising individuals will be recognized at the event closing ceremony.
🎉You can ride and fundraise as a part of a team! Registration requires each team member register separately, but please indicate your Team Name in the registration question. The fundraising form does allow for Teams to fundraise together. The top fundraising team will be recognized at the event closing ceremony.

This inaugural ride starting at the Wellington Museum and Archives is about more than cycling—it’s about coming together for causes that matter. Thank you for your support!
