What will the Tour 2011 look like?
The Tour this year offers a visually stunning route, numerous fun and interesting stops along the way, which could include spotting ducks and frogs at a newly created wetland, cycling through Bob Hunter Memorial Park (which celebrates a Canadian environmental hero), stops for some freshly baked pie, and maybe even a detour to pick up some delicious local corn to take home. As always, there will be varying routes and lengths, so there's something for everyone's skill level.
When you arrive you will check in, receive your very own riders kit, enjoy coffee and snacks provided, and get ready to ride at 10am. Along the ride there will be marshals to guide the way, police and EMS on site, and bike repair services. Throughout the designated rest stops, riders learn about all the Greenbelt has to offer, visit some farms and more. If you need to, a "sag wagon" will pick up any riders who cannot finish the ride on their own. The Tour has three route distances to choose from.
