We have arranged transportation to the start line for you and your bike if you want to leave your car at the finish before the race. We will help you load your bike into a large cube truck for delivery to the start line in Port Colborne (about a 30 minute drive).

You will travel in comfort through Niagara wine country to our start location and race day kit pickup. The buses start leaving Lakeside Park at 8:00 a.m. (bike load up at 7:00 a.m.).

We have arranged baggage transfer for you from Port Colborne to Port Dalhousie so you have something warm and dry to wear at the start. There will be banana and water stations along the course, and access to repair services at the start.

The race will be followed by a BBQ. Enjoy watching the exciting downhill finish!

Professional chip timing is used for fast and accurate results. Age and team category awards and prizes will be presented when the last rider crosses the line.
