About this event
- 7 hours
This ride is all about appreciating community in every sense. In our inaugural Hamilton Community Ride, we'll be party pacing through city streets, gravel and country roads.
We were overwhelmed by the turnout & enthusiasm at our second SSL community ride last year and would love to keep the party going! Riding bikes with friends & appreciating all that Hamilton has to offer is what we're after.
