The Caledon Cycling Club is a community cycling organization serving riders throughout Caledon, Erin, Brampton, Orangeville and surrounding communities in Ontario. Established in 1998, the club supports mountain biking, road cycling and gravel riding through organized rides, skills development, social events, trail construction and maintenance, and cycling advocacy.
The club has an active role in the development and stewardship of mountain-bike trails in the region. Its mountain-bike activities include organized rides at Albion Hills, Palgrave, Inglewood and Erin, while volunteer trail-building and maintenance activities support the continued development of local riding opportunities. The club also works with private landowners and other land managers to maintain cycling access and develop sustainable trail networks.
The Caledon Cycling Club is particularly associated with the private Erin Trails mountain-bike network, where club membership provides authorized access to trails located on private property. The club's Wednesday mountain-bike ride schedule also rotates through Erin, Palgrave and Inglewood.
Trail Stewardship
The Caledon Cycling Club is actively involved in trail construction and maintenance. Its current activities include organized trail-building events at Albion Hills and stewardship of riding areas associated with the club, including Erin. The club's volunteer trail work is an important component of maintaining and expanding local mountain-bike opportunities.
Erin Trails
The Caledon Cycling Club is the organization responsible for providing authorized club access to the private Erin Trails mountain-bike network. Erin Trails operates under private-land access arrangements, making club membership and compliance with landowner and club requirements essential for riding there. The club's current riding calendar continues to include Erin as one of its mountain-bike destinations.
Membership
Membership is required for participation in the club's organized rides. Current club communications direct riders to register as members before participating in club rides, and ride cancellations and schedule changes are communicated through the club website, Strava, Facebook and X/Twitter.
The Caledon Cycling Club is an important regional cycling organization rather than simply a riding club. Its combination of organized riding, volunteer trail stewardship, private-land relationships and cycling advocacy makes it a significant partner in the development and maintenance of mountain-bike opportunities in the Caledon and Erin areas.

I have been riding with the Caledon Cycle Club since 2013 after a long hiatus from cycling. After joining, I quickly realized I should have signed up much sooner. Here is a club where you can meet people passionate about cycling and the outdoors. For me the CCC is a great way to get out and be active, improve my riding, and most importantly have a great time with friends.
