@bobjonkman @cyclewr @josho Hi Bob! #GroundUpWR has shifted their focus since but these rides are still going on. It's just a few and sometimes many local cyclists who want to go on a leisurely ride throughout KW.
Join us 14h (2pm) every Sunday at Kitchener City Hall on King Street!
Here is a video from two months ago. https://youtu.be/FDxomz3YtrY?si=N_7Z4rRUTx8G7aX1

  • Community Organizations
  • Resources

What to bring?

@evelyn

That made me happy. I've got to get back to the #GroundUpWR bike rides on Sundays.

Hey @waterlooregion, are any #GroundUpWR peeps in the #Fediverse yet?
