Standing and cycling marshals will be present along the 10km and 25km routes to assist families with children and the Kids4Kids Team.

Free Bike Inspections

It is strongly recommended that every cyclist have their bike inspected for free at Via Ciclante (a division of Re-My Sport), 222 Queen Street South, Streetsville, two weeks before the ride, in order to avoid unexpected mechanical problems on the ride.
