What is a Slow Roll? It’s a large group bike ride with a twist – the point is not to race but to relax with good company and enjoy a leisurely ride. Slow Rolls have become popular in cities across North America because the rides appeal to a diverse audience and do not require specialized equipment or training. Spandex can be left at home and everyone is welcome!

The Bluewater International Granfondo’s (BIG) Slow Roll is a large, free, and inclusive community 10km bike ride dedicated to contributing to the growth of bicycle culture in the Sarnia Lambton area. Founded by BIG and organized locally by volunteers, the goal is to further cycling not only as a health initiative, but also to help enhance Sarnia’s image as a cycling community.

The BIG Slow Roll is open to all regardless of age, experience, ability, or type of bike. With a slow pace and volunteer squad that keep riders safe and social, it is more than just a bike ride – it is a conduit for bringing people from all walks of life together and connecting our community.

This year the ride will start at 2pm at City Hall on Sunday, June 4th.

The ride will feature a unique route infused with music from live bands along the way. There will be one stop to regroup at Canatara Park before returning to the Agora on Front Street for music and fellowship. Poutine Fest will also be happening in Centennial Park on June 4th if participants want to plan to enjoy lunch after their ride!

Our presenting partners, Back Home Coffee and NuSarnia Foundation along with many community volunteers help to keep the BIG Slow Roll free for everyone!

In lieu of a registration fee – please consider donating to Big Brothers and Big Sisters Sarnia Lambton.
