The Discover L&A Ride is a 56-kilometre non-competitive cycling tour held annually in southern Lennox and Addington. Starting and finishing at Bergeron Estate Winery and Cider Company in Adolphustown, the route follows paved roads along the Lake Ontario shoreline through historic Loyalist landscapes, with five rest stops featuring live music and local food. September 12, 2026, rain or shine.
The Discover L&A Ride is not a race. It is a guided day out on paved roads through some of the most scenic stretches of the county, with the experience built around the stops as much as the cycling itself. The 56-kilometre route passes through Bath, Gap Park, and Old Hay Bay Church before returning to Bergeron Estate Winery, where post-ride wine, cider, craft beer, and gourmet pizza are waiting. Rest stops along the way feature local food from partners, including Spring Meadow Orchards and The Lodge, with live music at the start, finish, and multiple points along the route. The event has sold out in previous years, so early registration is encouraged.

What to Expect
Event Day Check-in runs from 9:30 to 10:30 am, with departure at 10:30 am from Bergeron Estate Winery. Riders share the road with motorized vehicles on an open course, so helmets are mandatory and single-file riding is required on paved shoulders. Five rest stops are spread across the route with water, snacks, and live music at each. The day finishes back at the winery with post-ride beverages and food. This is a moderate, self-paced tour where the goal is to enjoy the scenery, not the clock.
