Don Vivants and Ridingfeelsgood.com Season Launch Party at Amsterdam Brewery

On Saturday, April 30th, Don Vivants and Ridingfeelsgood.com are organizing a free, whole-day cycling event to kick off the riding season. Multiple group rides will converge for a post-ride party with live bands at Amsterdam Brewery.

2-6 p.m. — Group rides in Toronto’s nature trail network (urban-city, mountain, cyclocross, road) with rides in Etobicoke Creek, Waterfront Trail and Don Valley. Some of the confirmed rides will be led by Riding Feels Good (Etobicoke Creek), Wild Betty’s (women’s MTB), Sacred Rides (MTB), Lantern Rouge (cyclo-cross), The Cycling Gym and The Dark Horse Flyers (road) and citizen’s rides including an urban group ride departing from Trinity-Bellwoods Park and a Big Dirty Don Ride.

6-10 p.m. — Post-ride party with live bands at Amsterdam Brewery (45 Esandar Drive). Good Enough, a live karaoke band will be playing hits from Miley Cyrus to Misfits. Arty, The Real Estate by Bike guy, and his friends from MiNETA are going to entertain us with their musical and comical talents.

Amsterdam will be serving $4 beers and there will be food trucks on-site, to be announced. Jacked Up Coffee’s vintage truck will be there. Some of our favourite bike shops will be there—Cycle Solutions will be offering tune-ups outside the brewery and Sweet Pete’s will have some things to give away. Velofix will be at the start of some rides and reconnect along the way to offer trail-side assistance. Cycle Toronto will provide Bike Valet parking on site.
