  • With mountain bike season winding down, we thought it would be a great opportunity for another pub night! We loved meeting so many riders this season, it would be nice to swap stories over a beverage or two. We would love to hear about your season and what adventures you got up to!! Whether you took a lesson with us or not, stop by and say hi! Maybe you have questions about bike packing, fat biking, indoor training or anything else mountain bike related. Maybe you are looking for more riders to connect with. This will be a great opportunity to connect with the RideOttawa tribe. Come out to the Barley Mow at 399 Richmond Road in Westboro between 6 pm and 9 pm on Wednesday November 27th.

  • Keep hydrated in the heat!!!
Wow, it really is hot outside, so make sure you are having plenty of fluids, pre-ride, during your ride and post-ride. Having electrolytes is essential too, so make sure you are either adding tabs to your water, having chewable ones, or drinking sports beverages (better than nothing!). This isn’t really the time of the year to go after PRs either - take plenty of breaks (in the shade) during your ride and look after your friends reminding them to drink too! 
Other great ways to beat the heat post-ride: swimming and ICECREAM!!! Seriously, this is the best icecream weather!! (We typically don’t encourage single use plastics, but make sure you are looking after yourself properly when you are riding in this heat.) @nuunhydration @therealsaltstick @gatorade @preschoice #staycool #icecream #heatwave #konaprocess134dl
