MTB GROUP Rides!
In Summer 2025, we started the Ride with Rachael group rides to introduce people to trails in Cochrane and beyond (Bragg Creek, Moose Mountain, Prairie Mountain, the Kananaskis area, etc.) We’ll be returning in 2026 as well!
These rides are meant to be fun and social. No dropping, lots of standing around and chatting, snacks and photos, etc. If your spirit animal is a sloth and you like to take your bike for a walk once in a while, please join! If you’re super speedy, you can also join and find other super speedy people to ride bikes with!
See the Events Calendar for specific dates and email rachael@bikecochrane.com if you’d like more information.
For summer 2026, we are looking for more people to lead group rides (e.g. women’s specific, kids’, daytime).
Gravel GROUP Rides!
Bike Cochrane is also pleased to be able to offer group gravel rides. Come and experience the fastest-growing style of biking with Robert, our Gravel Bike Ambassador.
Please reach out to Robert at robert@bikecochrane.com with any questions, or if you’d like to volunteer to lead or sweep a group gravel ride.
GROUP road rides!
Road Rides are currently only hold until we find a volunteer to lead them.
There are a wide variety of road bike rides starting from Cochrane and in the area (Calgary, Canmore, Banff, Turner Valley, etc.) For out-of-town rides, you are responsible for getting to the start point, including car pooling if you like. Most rides will be on the weekend.
All road rides will be “no drop” rides. We will match our pace to the group and have frequent stops to eat, drink, take a break, or just to enjoy the scenery. No one will be left behind. This is a social event, not a race. We do stop for coffee shops, pubs, and convenience stores.
To enjoy road biking, it’s highly recommended that you have a road bike, helmet, gloves, bike clothes, and be able to cycle for 2-3 hours. You should bring water, a snack, and any extra tools, spare inner tube, etc. that you have. Dress for the weather.
Here are some examples of road bike routes that we may do:
