DESCRIPTION
Two route lengths (80 km and 102 km) are available. The long ride goes to to the Holland Marsh and Newmarket. The short ride to Aurora. Optional lunch stop at Tim Hortons in Aurora. A washroom stop should be possible at the King City Arena and Community Center off Doctor's Lane (approximately the 24 km mark AND about 100 metres east of Keele and 100 metres south of King Road). On the return, a washroom stop should be possible at the gas station on the SW corner of Elgin Mills and Leslie.
The beginning and end portions of the two rides are the same. The longer ride is essentially a loop off the shorter ride. This means riders can choose during the ride to do a longer or shorter distance, if they wish. For GPS units, it is recommended to download all routes you think you might ride. Likewise, if you use cue sheets, then print the cue sheet for all rides you think you might ride.
Meet at Finch Subway Station, "Finch" west parking lot on the north side of Hendon Ave, just west of Yonge St.
N.B. If you are travelling north on Yonge St, keep going past Finch Ave and turn left onto Hendon Ave. The parking lot is on the right near 18 Hendon Ave, North York.
We are accepting "guest rider" registrations for this event. Guest registrations are $10 payable via PayPal.
