Wild Rock is the place for all your outdoor gear - cycling, camping, paddling, travel and everything you need to live life and play in the outdoors. With the best brands in the industry and dedicated, knowledgeable staff we can get you ready for your next adventure in the Kawarthas, or across the globe! The Wild Rock name came up at about 3am when Scott and Kieran were driving a clapped out '82 Ch

evette with one wiper blade in snowstorm on the way home from a climbing trip to the T-Wall in Tennessee in winter 1992. Two 24-year-old lads, Kieran Andrews, a professional ski and climbing bum, and Scott Murison, a climbing and telemark major with a minor Bachelor of Commerce degree, launched Wild Rock Outfitters in the fall of 1992. Kieran and Scott started small, with a 900 square foot store on George Street in downtown Peterborough. In 1997, they purchased their present location on Charlotte St, the old bingo hall (previously an A&P grocery store originally built in 1938) and gutted and renovated it. In March 2003 they launched a new category offering professional and friendly service and sales for mountain, road and hybrid bikes. Bike Werks was developed when Scott and Kieran took on two new partners in the business, Dave Woodfine and long-time employee Jonathon Moreno. With a newly renovated space in the Wild Rock Outfitters store, Bike Werks provides a fantastic selection of bikes and accessories for anyone interested in two-wheeled adventure. So natural was the fit that eventually the Bike Werks name was dropped and Wild Rock became the place we know today! Since then the Wild Rock crew has been busting their butts trying to be the best little privately owned store relevant to the outdoor athlete and enthusiast.

This June, the gear you no longer use can do more than earn store credit.

Here’s how it works: Trade in your gear through Wild Again. If you donate the trade-in credit to the ComPassion Project, we’ll match it, dollar for dollar.

Your pre-loved outdoor clothing, packs, camping gear, and footwear become direct funding for land protection, trails, housing, food security, and advocacy and community support right here in Peterborough. Twice over.

Drop in with your trade-in or grab a Closet Cleaner bag at the Trade-In link in our bio.

We handed Bridget a pair of Merrell Moab 3s and a pair of Antoras and sent her outside, to the trails around Jackson’s Creek and all the way to Italy 🇮🇹!

Here’s what she had to say:

The Moab is your bigger hike boot, great stability and ankle support when you’re carrying a pack or on uneven ground.

The Antora is what you want for lighter hikes and everyday walking (or Italy!).

We are pumped to be a sponsor of the 100 Acre Gravel Race this Sunday!

Those hills in Peterborough County don't mess around, and the cold beer waiting back at @100 Acre Brewing Company is going to be well earned. We'll be set up with our Wild Rock and Wild Again tents, so come find us before you head out and after you finish.

We'll have bikes on display, our friends from Cannondale joining us with some of their lineup, and one of our mechanics on hand for any last-minute tech needs. Wild Again will be there with a solid collection of second-hand cycling gear worth checking out.

You'll also spot our crew out on the course. We have staff volunteering in a number of roles throughout the event, so keep an eye out for the Wild Rock team along the route.

Still need to register? Hop over to www.100acregravelrace.ca before Friday midnight.

See you Sunday 🤘
