Road Routes

The route will be marked on the roads using RouteArrows. Your wristband colour will match the colour of the RouteArrows you should follow.
[And this year, we'll try even harder to make sure that the wristbands match the arrows and that all of the routes are correctly marked!!!]

​

Links to the maps of the road ride routes are provided below (printed maps will not be provided). Rest stops are listed below, and are also marked on the maps and are at the following distances.
NOTE:  All routes are tentative and subject to possible change.]

​

Mountain Bike Route

For 2024, we are again offering a mountain bike route, in partnership with Boler Mountain. This will be a 10km loop (takes about half an hour per loop) that you will be able to ride as many times as you want between 9:15am and 3:00pm on the day of the event.

NEW for 2024 is a 'poker run' - pick up cards on each lap and you could win prizes!

There will be washroom facilities, food and drinks available for riders.
