Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/53753734 A 340k loop from Harbour West GO in Hamilton, on rail trail, gravel and pavement. Suitable for gravel bike with 700x38-42 tires.

Cost: The trip leader has pre-booked campsites at two campgrounds and a week prior to the trip will request an e-transfer for $35pp. Each person will pay for their own food and drink at restaurants and stores.

Cancellation Policy: Individuals cancelling will still need to pay their $35pp fee as the campsite is shared and so can't be cancelled to recover the cost. If the trip has to be cancelled due to weather prior to May 16th 12pm then each person will be asked to pay ~$9pp to cover the portion of the cost that won't be refunded.
