Sag Wagon

TBN provides a van to transport your luggage. Other than luggage transport, this is a bare-bones, unsupported ride. Due to the large number of participants, Riders are expected to be self-supporting/self-sufficient and should be prepared to:

• Rely on their own resources in the event of the unforeseen such mechanical breakdown (e.g. flat tires, dropped chains, etc.), fatigue (expected to ride the full distance)
• Handle any kind of weather (this is a rain or shine or hot or cold event. Come prepared.)
• Be "Self navigating" (has GPS or cue sheet, and can follow it)
• Have a plan!  Bring credit card/money, identification, health card, mobile phone.  
• Ride with a buddy or group. If you start and then later abandon the ride or will be significantly delayed arriving at the destination for any reason call the TNTO Coordinator’s mobile phone number (which will be provided to registered participants closer to the event) or the Hotel to notify us. 

Food/water stops on the route

The maps will indicate where the food/water options are. On some parts of the route these are not plentiful but are adequate. We recommend you bring food, and a minimum of 2 bottles of water, and replenish supplies whenever possible.

Dinner on Saturday in Niagara Falls

We have two group dinner options on Saturday night. This event is totally optional. Both options are within 10-15 minutes walking distance from the hotel. For more information and to register, please click here TNTO Saturday Night Dinners.

Breakfast on Sunday morning

Breakfast is NOT available at the hotel. There are local options nearby including Tim Hortons. In previous years, some participants stopped at Niagara on the Lake for breakfast (this is approximately 24km from the start). 

Luggage

There is limited space in the luggage van, limit your luggage to one (1) small soft-sided overnight bag, or knapsack. A floor pump and large bulky items cannot be accepted.  A pump will be available at the luggage van that you can use if needed.
