WindsorEats along with Maximum Edge are hosting winery bike trips through the county!

Essex County has some of the best wine in the world and there is no better way to enjoy the surrounding region then by pedaling your way through it. You’ll be able to sip the local vino and learn about the winery.

Maximum Edge will have their cycle experts on hand to guide us and answer questions. This is really going to be a great time and we encourage everyone to come on out and join us!

A few things to keep in mind for each ride:

• Bring a bike! Very important component of a bike ride. All participants must bring their own bike to the meeting point at the designated time. The route consists of a combination of road way and gravel trails. It is important that you check your bike (tire pressure, etc) before you come out on the ride. If you want the experts to do it for you, Maximum Edge offers Bike Tune Ups for $40.00.

• Helmet. Safety is always at the forefront of anything we do, so please ensure that you bring a helmet with you.

• Stay hydrated. Yes, we are going on a wine tour but for the rides in between stops you will need to stay hydrated. Bring a bottle of water to keep on hand while you ride.

• Dress appropriately. Take a quick peek at the weather before heading out to ensure you're wearing something suitable for the type of weather expected.

• Buying Wine. If you are interested in purchasing bottles of wine at the vineyards we visit, no worries! Our support vehicle will pick up the purchases and bring them to you at our last stop.

• No Refunds. There are no rain dates or refunds.

• Have fun! We are pretty excited about these rides and are getting a great response from everyone. We encourage everyone to come out, join us and have a great time!

WindsorEats will keep all participants informed of any changes as the dates approach so don't forget to provide us with your email when you purchase tickets.
