Cranky Goat Gravel Ride 2026: Ride, Support, and Experience the Collingwood Collective Spirit

Join us for the Cranky Goat Gravel Ride 2026, the Collingwood Collective's premier open club ride and a unique opportunity to experience our race team's specially curated gravel loops. Normally our club rides are closed to the public. This  is your one chance to ride alongside coaches and racers from the Collingwood Collective, immerse yourself in the stunning Niagara Escarpment, and directly contribute to the dreams of our athletes.
