About Us

The Oshawa Cycling Club was established in 1980.  It was founded by two avid cyclists, Edward Reilly and Gerald Corrigan.  Together they formed the club for the purpose of safe cycling, promoting physical fitness in cycling and companionship on the road.

Today club members enjoy recreational touring throughout the Durham Region.  The club caters to a wide range of age levels and experience with regularly scheduled rides on weekdays and weekends from early April to late October.  The highlight of the season occurs in August with the Scugog Circle Century Tour.

The directions of the club are as follows:

• to continue to promote safe and healthy cycling
• to increase public awareness of the club

• to develop new family-oriented rides and events
