Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour 2026

Event Overview

A great way to enjoy the last of summer's warm weather!

The Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour returns to raise funds to help support improvements to local trails! Show your love by joining us on Saturday, September 26, 2026, to ride in support of conservation!

With new road routes designed by 'Share the Road' for maximum rider safety and comfort, the Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour incorporates all the sights of summer, cycling facilities, quiet neighborhood streets, and peaceful back roads!

Road cyclists will tour through picturesque county roads along the CWATS route through Colchester, Amherstburg, Essex, and Leamington on your way to and from Kingsville!

Greenway riders will meander the safe, beautiful, off-road nature trails along the Chrysler Canada and Cypher Systems Group Greenways. Back by popular demand, all routes will begin and end at the lakeside Mettawas Park in Kingsville, and will include a delicious locally sourced lunch.
