New for 2025 -
Be a Ride Leader for a day!
In four easy steps.
The PCC is offering every member the opportunity to be a Ride Leader for the day!
Do you have a favourite ride that you want to share or a new route that you want to explore? Well now is your chance!
We want every Rider to have the opportunity to be a ride leader! You pick the route, the date/time, ability level and the maximum number of people you'd like on your ride. We can help with the rest!
If you are new to mapping we can help you get your route uploaded to Strava and your ride listed on the Cycle Club App
As a Ride Leader you will be responsible for keeping your group safe and having a great time out on the road. With a little bit of training and familiarization with the Ride Leader Package you’ll be ready to share your adventure with members of wherever ability you choose.
Traditionally, the PCC schedule has been built around weekly rides but in 2025 we are aiming to nurture our adventurous spirit by adding rides that have a unique personality while filling interesting time slots in the club calendar. We can’t wait to see what our members offer!
If you like to see your ride on the club calendar in 2025 please email us and we’ll get the wheels turning!

What is my commitment, how much time does it take?
Learn moreThere is a lot of flexibility here, so it depends a lot on your goals.
Of course it is more work than just showing up for a ride. For example, you need to select a route, start/finish time, and post it.
For a typical ride, it may take you 15-20 minutes of planning, plus you will need be at the ride 5-10 min early. So lets say it would add 20-30 mins to a ride.
Your ride frequency is up to you. Many rides are weekly and develop a nice rhythm and social environment, but the choice is yours and may plan rides whenever it works for you. For weekly rides, we encourage having a team a ride leaders to reduce the burden.
