Is the sky bigger in Oxford County? It sure seems that way. Many of our gravel rides here roll across sprawling pastoral farmland, where the road ribbons ahead of you for miles, while long stands of trees help buffer the wind.

Summer's corn fields give way to stunning autumn colour as we turn onto forested riverside tracks and rail trails. 

Our Fall Gravel Bike Getaway takes us through it all at a friendly pace. One ride might lead south into Amish country for some authentic Dutch pastries. Another might take us north to a tiny village for some locally-renowned coffee. And no cycling tour here is complete without a trek through the woods that line the Thames River. On this getaway, there's always time to stop and enjoy the view. 

After a day of escape and exploration, you’ll check into the luxurious and historic Elmhurst Inn & Spa. There, you're free to relax in the shade of the willows,  satisfy your appetite with five-star locally-inspired cuisine and curl up in a cozy bed to rest up for the next day's ride.
