The rides are open to all 2021 Pavers club members. Sorry, no guest riders permitted at this time. We will be following the Sask Cycling Association – Return to Cycling guidelines and SHA requirements, so there will be a 3 meter protective distancing during the ride.

2020 Prairie Pedals Rides

PRAIRIE PEDALS ladies only ride is back! YEAH! Things are a little different this year, so please familiarize yourself with the following (short version at the bottom, but please read the long portion before you ride!).

Week 1: June 29, 2020 at 8am *faints* at the south end of 7th SW. If you don’t know where that is, go on South Hill and follow 7th down the closed road until you can’t go any further because the bridge is closed.

Following weeks will be posted on this page with times and locations, and we are aiming to ride until August 31, 2020.

As always this is a no-drop ride. We will stop regularly to prepare you for what’s coming up, selfies, and give those who need it (*ahem* me) time to catch up. Beginners are encouraged and more than welcome!

SOCIAL DISTANCING IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIME, BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE ACTIVITY.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDELINE WILL RESULT IN OUR SANCTION BEING REVOKED. For more information please read Saskatchewan Cycling Association – Return to Play During COVID-19

Club members and guests share the responsibility for making club rides as safe as possible and helmets are mandatory for all ride participants.

All trail closures and directional markings must be respected.

Everyone is responsible for having their bike in good working order, wearing a helmet, bringing their own mechanical needs, and bringing your own water, snacks, bug spray, and sun screen as needed. THESE ITEMS MAY NOT BE SHARED.  Also recommended are a face mask, and hand sanitizer for use before and after rides.

If you are showing signs of COVID-19, please do not come to a ride and instead take the time to get better.  If you test positive for COVID-19 after the ride please let Saskatchewan Health know you were on the ride and they will obtain a participant list to conduct contact tracing.

Please keep in mind we are limited to 10 riders per ride, including ride coordinator and ride leader.  If need be, we may split into 2 groups if there are 2 leaders available. We are limiting non-member riders participating under waiver only to one per ride.

Rider membership and waivers must be completed online a minimum of ONE HOUR before ride begins. Papers cannot be turned into a ride coordinator.

Non-members will need to complete both of these waivers (COVID-19 Waiver and non-member waiver). Please email these to prairiepedals@gmail.com to reserve your spot (first messaged, first served), we will go down the list of those interested to ensure as many people as possible are able to experience our rides. Papers cannot be turned in to ride coordinator.

If you are having issues with any of these links please message prairiepedals@gmail.com and we will be glad to assist you.

Short form: PRAIRIE PEDALS ladies only ride is beginning June 29, 2020. Beginners please join us! Social distancing is required or we get shut down. Be respectful of the trails. Bring anything you might need, nothing can be shared. Don’t forget hand sanitizer and helmet. If you’re sick, stay away! If you get sick, let us know. Sign up in advance. We are limited to how many can come with us.
