We are now under two weeks to go to the 6th Annual Tim Horton's Great Lake to Lake Mountain Bike Classic.

Held on June 20th at 11 a.m on the shores of Lake Erie, approximately 1500 mountain bikers will rage acoss the beautiful Niagara landscape to the shores of Lake Ontario, in six different waves.

This citizen's race is a classic 50km route with challenging singletrack and doubletrack, almost 95% off-road. One of the best post race parties on the beach at Port Dalhousie, full catered meal and patio presentation of awards.
New this year is the inaugural Great Lake to Lake North on August 15th. A 35 km route from Bass Lake near Orillia to the Height of Horseshoe ski chalet. Truly some of the best single-track in the province, this race is sure to please..
