This event is now over.
Please see our website (ridelondon.ca) for photos and other comments concerning the 2023 FCCC event.
The 2024 event will take place on Sunday, June 2, 2024, with a Boler start/finish. Register for it here.
Registration is now open for the 2023 Forest City Cycling Challenge!
We outgrew the 2022 start location so this year, our start/finish is at Boler Mountain in Byron (on the West side of London).
We will have three road routes (50/100/160km) PLUS a mountain biking route (Boler's 10km course; ride as much as you want) available for you. All routes will have rest stops with washrooms, food, water and F2C hydration. We will also have high quality photographs of the event and participants.
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
The maps of the routes can be found at these links:
- 50km route
- 100km route
[NOTE: This route was updated as of 2023-05-16 due to new construction on the previous route.] - 160km route

Registration Change and Cancellation Policy:
Unfortunately, we are unable to refund fees or transfer registrations to another rider once you have completed the registration process. You can change routes between 50km and MTB without cost, and between 100km and 160km without cost, but please inform us if you do so, so that we know how many people to expect at the rest stops. To make a change, please contact us.
