Roads & Trails
We Travel
Winding Country Roads
We select our routes for the quality of the ride and scenery. We love gravel and less-travelled hard top that take you to the heart of the country and avoid traffic.
Three Seasons
From early Spring to late Fall (an maybe beyond), we follow roads that nature nestles up too.
Rail Trails
Groomed rail trails are expanding throughout the area. From well-treed avenues to open fields, the route travels through back fields of the country.

Susanne Spence Wilkins
Host of our Back Road Cycling Tours and Clinics
Let me introduce you to our Back Road Cycling Tours and Clinics. I love backroad biking in Chatham-Kent and Elgin County and want to share this joy with you. I’ve pedaled 1000’s of kilometers on gravel and hard top roads as well as rail trails. With me, you will travel at a social pace on roads with very limited traffic. We enjoy the scenery and discover the hidden secrets of rural southwestern Ontario.
