Calling all Bike & Camp Adventurers! I am gauging interest in a weekend Bike packing adventure to Wildwood Conservation Area in July (looking at July 12-14 but open to other dates). I have been before and its a really lovely area. Plan would be to arrive on the Friday afternoon/evening, setup camp and talk cycling stories around a campfire. There are group campsites available at Wildwood (we would sleep in our own tents but there is a pavilion/shelter area we could have access to). Saturday we could ride the Wildwood 25 km Lake Trail in the AM, and ride to St. Mary’s area in the PM (or some plans similar to this - there is lots to see in the area). Sunday we could do another tour of the Lake, then pack up and back home Sunday afternoon. Are you interested in this experience? What questions/concerns do you have? I have not yet booked anything so please let me know if this is something you are interested in.

@emily.lloyd unfortunately none of those weekends work either. It looks like you are getting positive interest in the weekend you have proposed so I would say stick with that. I am looking at doing something in late June, the weekend of July 27, 28, possibly August 24, 25 and doing a 7-10 day excursion right after labor day. Still working on details but this is the route I have in mind [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44420840](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44420840) if anyone wanted to do part or all. ---

Hi. I most likely can attend any of those dates, but will see once a date is selected. Like I ssid I am new to WCC, but look forward to meeting many of you. Trying to navigate to even find out where rides are posted…I know will figure it out eventually by the time weather gets nicer ---

Hi All, great to see there are about 6 ppl interested! Looks like Wildwood is filling up incredibly fast this year! The only weekend I could find a group campsite available is July 5-7 (we need to book for 2 nights at $350 per night at this time). I’m reaching out to see about additional funding. Let me know if you would be interested in the July 5-6 dates and I will keep you posted! ---

Wendy, all rides are posted in the forum. The ride title will generally tell you the type of ride ( ie road, gravel), the culture (recreational, intermediate, fast), the time and location. Anticipated average speed will usually be included in the notes. [Next page](https://forum.waterloocyclingclub.ca/t/interest-in-a-bike-packing-adventure-to-wildwood-conservation-area/6259.md?page=2)
