FRASER VALLEY CHAPTER

FRASER VALLEY CHAPTER

We have 100+ members in our chapter who enjoy the riding and social aspect of our weekly rides.

Weekly Rides

Weather permitting, we offer group rides each Wednesday and every second Friday. The number of cyclists varies seasonally and week to week and, at the height of riding season, we may have 30+ cyclists come out to ride. Regardless of the number of cyclists, we ride in groups of no more than ten with a sub leader for each group. We have many routes in the Fraser Valley and across the border in  Washington State (Passport, Nexus or Enhanced Driver’s Licence required) and it is recommended you have health insurance coverage for Washington rides.   We primarily look for routes on quiet country roads or on roads with bike lanes or wide shoulders. We occasionally offer urban rides. Our Wednesday rides range from 60 to 90 km in length and cyclists must be able to maintain an average speed of 22 kph on the flats for the duration of the ride. Our “relaxed” Friday rides tend to be shorter in length (40 to 50 km) and go at a slower pace of 20 kph.

Fraser Valley Chapter

We have 80+ members in our group.  While the majority of our members live in Surrey, we also have members who live in Delta, Richmond, Vancouver, Burnaby, the North Shore, Tri Cities, Langley and Abbotsford. 

We have rides each Wednesday. In summer, we have 20 – 30 riders; in winter, our numbers drop to 10 – 15.  Each ride has a different destination and leader and is normally 60K to 100K on quieter rural roads in the lower Fraser Valley or Whatcom County in Washington State. 

Most of our rides start at either Peace Arch Park in South Surrey or the W.C. Blair Rec. Centre in Langley.  Ride details are sent out via email 2 days before each ride.

Non CCCTS members are welcome to join us as guests providing they complete the Club’s day ride waiver form.

Bring your Border ID (Passport, Nexus or Enhanced Driver’s License)and ensure you have health insurance coverage for Washington rides.
