We currently hold five different groups (A Group, B Group, C Group, Social Group, and Recreational Group) to ride with during the week.

The faster "A" Group will typically ride a minimum pace of 30+ km/h. The pace varies depending on terrain, weather conditions, time of year and the level of fitness of the riders present. There are also sections of each ride where the tradition is for faster riding and sprints. During these portions of club rides, the pace is often in excess of 30 km/h. "A" Group rides are scheduled to be held on Saturday mornings and Tuesday/Thursday night. Weeknight (Tuesday and Thursday) rides are typically at a faster pace. (Distance: 60-100+ km)

The "B" Group Ride will typically ride a minimum pace of 27-29 km/h. The pace varies depending on terrain, weather conditions, time of year and the level of fitness of the riders present. There are also sections of each ride where the tradition is for faster riding and sprints. These rides take place on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday/Thursday mornings, & Tuesday/Thursday evenings. This ride's policy is a no-drop one so the pace can vary quite a bit depending on who's out. (Distance: 60-90+ km)

The "C" Group Ride will typically ride a minimum pace of 24-26 km/h. The pace varies depending on terrain, weather conditions, time of year and the level of fitness of the riders present. These rides take place on Saturday mornings. More additions to the calendar will be announced! (Distance: 50-75 km)

On Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, there will be “S” rides. “Social” rides average 20-23 km/h. We may even stop for breakfast! (Distance: 50-70+ km)

We typically hold Recreational (R) rides on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings. They are similar in nature to the Social rides but emphasize group riding, instruction, safety and the rules of the road for bicyclists. (Distance: 25-30+ km)

APLVNCC Member Joey Carone from NOTL wins five golds at cycling championships

Joey Carone from NOTL wins five golds at cycling championships

Joey Carone is a provincial cycling champion - in five different events.

The Niagara-on-the-Lake teen has also set a new Canadian record for his age group in the 2,000-metre event.

The 14-year-old St. Michael student competed recently at the Milton Velodrome in the Ontario Track Championships, and won each of his five events.

His record-breaking time in the 2,000-metre indoor pursuit was 2:35, breaking the existing 2:41 record.

He also won gold in the 500-metre time trial, the Scratch race, the Points race in which he earned extra points for lapping all other riders in the field, and the 200-metre sprint.

He was also the overall provincial champion for the men’s under-15 category.

Carone trains with the National Cycling Center Hamilton once a week, and the rest of the week cycles on the roads and hills of Niagara-on-the-Lake with his father Jid Carone, a competitive cyclist with 31 years experience.

They spend about 25 hours together a week, between indoor training and cycling, sometimes on endurance rides of 60 to 80 kilometers, and other days climbing the hill to Queenston Heights or up to Bevan Heights above St. Davids.
