Tour day is fast approaching! We have a record number of participants riding in this year's Tour de Bonnechere with 136 cyclists. The long term forecast for this Sunday is calling for a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 21 degrees and a light breeze... perfect day for a road ride!
Tour check in commences at 7:30am on Sunday, August 17th at the Legion Field Park in Eganville. The100k riders depart at 8:00am, the 60k riders depart at 9:00am, and the 18k family riders depart at 9:15am.
Please remember to bring a small contribution towards the pot-luck BBQ after the race (enough for 8-10 people). If you are stuck on ideas, drop me an email at canyth2o@gmail.com.
Looking forward to a great day exploring the back roads of the Bonnechere Valley! See you Sunday!
