Our Thursday night gravel gatherings are a cornerstone of the Detours club. Join us every Thursday night from early May until it gets too dark in the evenings around September. We break up into three groups to ensure there’s a speed and distance that suits everyone. These are no-drop rides, complete with leaders and sweepers, so you're always supported.

Time: 6 PM

Location: Back doors at Bike Doctor

Then, after our club ride is officially over and our leaders have headed home, some folks stay and visit at Amigos. It’s all about the post-ride talk, but the food is good too! The socializing is long after our club event is over, if you choose to partake in any after club beverages at Amigos please plan a safe ride home.

Whether you're a seasoned gravel grinder or just starting to explore off the pavement, Detours has a group for you! We offer three distinct riding levels to ensure everyone finds their perfect pace and challenge.

Fast and Furious

For the experienced gravel cyclist seeking a high-intensity ride. If you thrive on speed and diverse terrain, this group is for you. Expect average speeds over 25 km/hr and distances between 40-50 km. Our routes will take you across pavement, challenging gravel, and moderate single-track mountain bike trails, demanding considerable gravel riding skill. Get ready to push your limits!

Long Riders

Perfect for those with a solid fitness base and a good amount of gravel experience. This group strikes a balance between challenge and enjoyment, averaging 20-24 km/hr over distances of 35-45 km. You'll navigate a mix of pavement, gravel, and rutted double-track dirt trails. Come hone your skills and enjoy some great company on the longer hauls.

Big Chill

This is our welcoming group for developing riders or anyone looking for a more relaxed pace and a supportive atmosphere. If you're building your fitness or honing your gravel riding skills, this is the place to be! We cruise at up to 20 km/hr with distances ranging from 25-35 km. Our experienced leaders are here to demonstrate gravel riding techniques and help you build confidence on varied surfaces. Come chill with us and discover the joy of gravel cycling!
