fitness & social riding

If you're in it for fitness & fun!

You just can’t have as much fun riding on your own, and that’s a fact. Do you know the best routes in the North Shore? Well, our members do and they want to share them with you. To enjoy group riding, all you have to do is learn and follow a few rules of safe and courteous riding and pick the ride that suits your level of experience, fitness and desire for challenge. The ECV website is the place where you will find announcements of all of the ECV groups rides. Group rides depart almost every day of the riding season. Our menu of group rides includes:

Weekly rides – Shorter morning and evening rides. The level of the rides are described on our website – From the mild to the wild.
Weekend rides – Longer rides that begin in the early season with modest distance and terrain and culminate in the fall with the epic “4-Gapper” that features the toughest mountain roads in the White Mountains.
• And, if you want to challenge yourself, use our weekend and evening rides to build up to the acclaimed ECV Classic Rides - Tour d’Essex County, Ride the Kanc (28 June), and The 4-Gapper.

How do I get started?
If you have done some group riding, pick a ride from our website menu and come join us. Introduce yourself and the group leader will help you find riders of your ability to group up with.
