Routes

​

We outgrew the 2022 start location so this year, our start/finish is at Boler Mountain in Byron (on the West side of London). There will be three road routes (50/100/160km) PLUS a mountain biking route (10km Boler course - ride as much as you want) available for you to ride.  All routes will have rest stops with washrooms, food, water and F2C hydration.  

​

  • 50km, 100km and 160km routes.  All rides will start and finish at Boler Mountain in Byron (on the west side of London).  These rides will pass through less than 2km of suburban roads before heading out on country roads to the west and northwest of London.
    There will be rest stops with washroom facilities, food, water and F2C hydration on the route.
    The maps of the routes (which are draft only, and subject to change closer to the event date) are here:

  • Mountain Bike route:  For 2023, we are 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 10am and 5pm on the day of the event.
    There will be washroom facilities, food and drinks available for riders.

​

Registration includes:

  • Custom event water bottle and swag.

  • F2C hydration, coffee and light snacks at the start.

  • The ride/route of your choice.

  • Hot lunch and one beer (or a non-alcoholic drink for those not of legal drinking age) at the finish.

  • Entries into draws and giveaways.

  • Fundraising awards will be given out at various levels.

  • We will also have high quality photographs of the event and participants.

​

[We are also planning a no-cost family ride, on Saturday, June 3rd, 2023 - details and registration will be provided once the final details are sorted out - hopefully by mid-February.]
