Canola Fields Fondo – A Scenic Gravel Adventure

Enjoy a beautiful ride through vibrant canola fields with a mix of gravel and pavement surfaces. The route is quite rideable including the single track sections.

Key highlights:

• Mixed surfaces: mostly gravel with some single track and pavement stretches
• Single track sections are not maintained roads but are on road allowances. They may be muddy, rutted, grassy, etc.
• Estimated return to the golf course by 2:00 PM, perfect timing for a post-ride refreshment
  
• E-bikes and mountain bikes welcome.
  
• You should have tires at least 37 mm wide
• More wildlife and less traffic than hard-surface rides
• Opportunity to enjoy a donut in Crossfield

Apres-ride social: Join us after the ride for social at the Madden Golf Club patio where you can purchase refreshments and snacks at the Club House.

Note:  This event will be rescheduled in case of inclement weather, you will be notified the day before the event.
