Jane Hughes was born in British Columbia and Pat Dunphy was from England. Jane spent most of her childhood in Mississauga and then lived in the Niagara region from her early 20’s. Both were avid cyclists and living in St. Catharines when they met. Together they became involved in the local cycling community, joined the Freewheelers, and had great dreams for the future of cycling in Niagara.

More Ride Information Cue Sheets & Maps
In Cue Sheets & Maps, cue sheets in Word format are not being used in the current Ride Schedule and may not be up-to-date; therefore, they may not reflect existing road conditions. If you choose to use one of these cue sheets, it is recommended that you research current road conditions for the route to ensure that they are viable. Users of these cue sheets bear full responsibility for their own safety.
To record rides or download routes for turn-by-turn navigation with a smartphone and RWGPS app, you currently need to subscribe to a Basic RWGPS account at a minimum. You can download a RWGPS route and load it to a compatible GPS enabled bike computer (e.g. Garmin, Wahoo, etc.) for turn-by-turn navigation with or without a paid RWGPS account.
