Slow Roll (old) | Forest City Cycling

Slow Roll

For 2023, we are pleased to have a FREE "Slow Roll", organized by our friends at London Cycle Link, through the streets of downtown London.
This event is "The Forest City Slow Roll".

10km Forest City Slow Roll

A "Slow Roll" is a ride that moves at a casual pace (suitable for riders of all levels), with police escort.

Our start/finish is at Dundas Place (between Ridout and Talbot, on the north side of Budweiser Gardens). Be there between 4:00 and 4:30, check in at the information tent and be ready to ride out with us at 5:00 o'clock sharp.

The route is a 10 km loop which we will ride as a mass with a London Police Service escort. Back at Dundas Place, we will have our choice from an array of fabulous food vendors:

There will also be a water bottle refill station and washrooms onsite. We'll have a photographer, music, and then announce our draw winners!
