Prince Edward County, Ontario, offers an approachable and celebratory way to explore its trails and craft beverage scene with the Ladies Brewery Ride, a guided, fully trail-based 25 km loop that starts with a pre-ride social at Prince Eddy's. Beginning in Prince Edward, the ride departs at noon after an 11:00 a.m. meetup, carrying riders through the county’s mixed woodlands, farm edges, and lake-facing viewpoints. The route stops at three local breweries where each stop includes a drink—alcoholic or non-alcoholic—so everyone can toast along the way. What sets this ride apart is its focus: women on bikes, inclusive beverage options, and pure off-road riding. The trail surfaces vary from compact singletrack to wider crushed-stone paths; expect gentle climbs, rooty sections, and a few technical turns that make the 25 km feel lively without being punishing. Snacks are provided on-trail, and a post-ride party folds the group into an upbeat community atmosphere where conversations about lines, bikes, and the best local pours flow easily. Safety and local stewardship are built into the experience. The route minimizes road exposure; participants only encounter pavement when crossing streets to reach the next tasting. Guides manage pacing and regroup points, so riders with basic off-road handling will keep up comfortably. The minimum age is 19, and the arrangement includes a drink at each stop, light snacks, and festival-style celebration afterward. Bring a well-maintained mountain or gravel bike with confident brakes and a helmet. Beyond beer, the ride is a primer on Prince Edward County’s outdoor character: low limestone ridges, agricultural fields, and frequent glimpses of Lake Ontario from higher trail benches. Birdsong and the occasional white-tailed deer are common, and seasonal scents—fresh-cut hay in summer, damp leaf mulch in fall—underscore each pedal stroke. The social focus makes it an excellent introduction for newcomers to trail riding or visitors seeking an active way to sample the county’s small-scale brewing scene. Guides carry basic tools and a first-aid kit, and they'll offer short instruction on group riding etiquette and trail etiquette before setting off; paved parking is available near the meeting point, and riders should bring a government ID to verify age for tastings. The event’s relaxed pace makes it easy to stop for photos or linger at a tasting without falling behind. Practical details: meet at Prince Eddy's for the pre-ride social at 11:00 a.m.; the group leaves the trailhead at noon. Expect roughly four to five hours of activity, including tastings and the afterparty. Weather can change quickly near the lake—dress in layers and carry water. Whether you’re chasing community, craft beer, or a memorable ride through rural Ontario, the Ladies Brewery Ride distills the best of Prince Edward County into a single, spirited afternoon.
