Your three route options are:

22 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49762723

45 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49762692

73 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49762659

Participants will still be able to register the morning of the event in an entirely paperless and cash-free fashion, right here via Race Roster.

However, the option to order an event T-shirt will stop Monday the 17th at midnight (I'll be placing the bulk order on Tuesday the 18th morning), so Alliston's has enough time to get the shirts done in time to hand out on ride day. Please consider ordering event T-shirts for yourself and your entire family to support all the club events for the year!

Police traffic control and road markings/signage will both be present but limited, so all participants should download routes to their computers, plan to play the route from their RWGPS app on their phone, or carry printed turn-by-turn directions with them. For instructions on how to download routes to your Garmin, Wahoo, or other computer, see the Ride With GPS Help page at https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419007646235-Export-File-Formats and your computer’s documentation. The route profile stickers we are including for those participants who register prior to the two-week mark will also be very helpful to have. They are designed to be placed physically on your bike's frame, so you can look down and know when the next turn is coming without having to change your positioning on the bike.

Bacchus on the Beach will be our caterer for the day!! It's going to be absolutely delicious.
