CYCLE 3 GREAT LAKES IN EIGHT DAYS - CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF THE GREAT LAKES WATERFRONT TRAIL
TAKE THE 8-DAY CHALLENGE | 640KM | 3 GREAT LAKES
Join us between 8 and 15 August 2025 as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail with an epic and challenging looped ride that visits three Great Lakes in eight days (seven nights). We will stay overnight in the communities of Hamilton, Guelph, Goderich, Grand Bend, London, Port Stanley, and Port Dover as we ride a fully supported route that includes Lake Ontario, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie. We'll be riding the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail as well as parts of the Greenbelt Route, the Guelph to Goderich Trail, Thames Valley Parkway in London and the Port Dover to Hamilton Rail Trail. Learn more about the itinerary.
