VERMILION PENGUINS
Club Rides
We occasionally get questions about club rides so we will try to answer some of them here so everyone knows.
First and most importantly, everyone is welcome. It is an opportunity for us and others to enjoy the fruits of our labor and enjoy the beauty of our borderland country.
The rides are on Saturdays starting at 10:00 a.m from the clubhouse on CR 77. We usually ride out about 2-3 hours to a destination restaurant, have lunch and then take a different route back. As you an see our loops vary - we mix up directions and terrain as much as we can.
We usually have 6 to 12 or so riders (some two up) both male (Penguys) and female (Pengals) who vary in age and riding skills. So we ride family style - meaning slow enough so everyone can comfortably keep up but fast enough so folks don't get bored.
Safety is a prime consideration. We try mix up the ride too, using trails, lakes and rivers wherever possible. So those who want to stretch their tracks a bit and markup some fresh snow usually have some time to do that.
We have a relaxed lunch mid-day so all can warm up, fill up (gas and food) and socialize a bit. It is a friendly group so do not be intimidated to join in - odds are you will feel at home within minutes and it's a great way to meet new people and explore some country. And, it's free except for lunch which is on you.
So come join us - we can almost guarantee a fun time
