BIKE ROUTE
Sorry to say the Bike Route will be the same for 2022,(as in the past). The Park has filled the worst of the Cracks. The Park hasn’t repaired the patch by the Kapasiwin Hill, we will make an announcement in the morning as to what we are doing for the race at this particular portion of the course! The National Park has put it in their budget to repave this road, we just have to be patient till the money is in place for this to happen!
THE RACE STARTS AT 8:00 ON SUNDAY MORNING. WE WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU!!
