Cyclon is TBN's premier event where over 150 cyclists will take over Brock University's campus in St. Catharines for three nights, four days of rides, friends and fun.
After only two weeks, Cyclon is almost 70% sold out, so don’t delay if you’re planning on coming. Registration is likely to sell out well before the May 24 Early Bird Pricing deadline.
See you at Cyclon.

Profile: TBN Saturday Morning Rides |
The Saturday Morning Rides program is one of TBN's most popular regularly scheduled weekend options during the outdoor cycling season. These rides offer a variety of routes for pleasant, sociable treks around town.
Distances vary from 30 to 50 kms and rides start at 9:30 am. There are 15 different routes throughout the season from April to October, starting at different locations around the city. Group sizes each vary from about 15 to 35, depending on members' preferences and weather conditions.
You can ride with any TBN ride level at any time; you do not have to stick to the same level all season. Questions about Saturday morning rides or any of TBN's other ride programs? Reach out to info@tbn.ca.
