Monday Night Social Road Rides resume in April

Attention Cycling PEI Members! The Monday Night Social Road Rides led by Jan Meulenkamp are slated to resume on Easter Monday, April 18, 2022.

This group meets up at the Brackley Community Centre at the intersection of Brackley and Union Roads, and makes loops to the North or South shore (40-50km). To start with, the group will do some shorter 30-35km loops as we get conditioned again.

There are two pace groups - the Espresso Group for seasoned cyclists, and the Latte Group for a somewhat slower pace.

This year, we may try to start a 20-25km group on a different night of the week - please contact us if this would interest you!

For up-to-date information on these rides, please join the “CPEI Monday Night social, no-drop Road Ride” Facebook Group.
