PASSION, KNOWLEDGE, CAMARADERIE, FUN

D’Ornellas Cycling Club is a Toronto road bike club composed of men and women who share a love of road cycling. If you are new to the road bike sport, we offer a skills ride. If you are an advanced cyclist but are looking for more distance, we have a ride for you. If you are looking for distance, speed with some competitive spirit thrown in, we have a ride for you too. Each ride has a ride leader who controls the group and ensures that each rider is looked after and at a minimum, knows the way home.

Our bicycling club’s most popular days are Saturday and Sunday mornings, but it is common to have rides most days of the week. Rides start in Toronto at Lawrence & Victoria Park with a pick up point in Markham at 14th Avenue & Birchmount. Some of our rides start in Richmond Hill near Elgin Mills and the 404 highway. Many of our members live in Toronto, Scarborough, Markham, Stouffville, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Woodbridge, Concord and Vaughan. You can find complete Ride details under the Ride tab.

Most of us are just regular recreational cyclists who enjoy a disciplined group ride without the competition. But some members participate at road bike races in Toronto and around Ontario. Our multisport racers compete provincially, nationally and internationally, ranging from short course Triathlons and Duathlons, up to the Ironman World Championships.
