The whole shebang will be staged just inside our newly sanctioned AND LAND USE AGREEMENTED park with proper laps running past the team tents
and all the prizing and BBQ in the same place! Staging, Registration, BBQ, awards will be in the big “Gravel Pit” that most of you have ridden through many times before. (Not in the Provincial park that we have used in the past)
There will be space for team tents and parking at the start finish which will be a short 500m drive up from the “yellow” gate.
Parking for everyone else will be in the Englishman Provincial park day use parking lot and down by the yellow gate which is a short 5 -10 min walk in. Riders cannot park in the campground parking lot, along the road inside the park boundaries, or in front of the yellow service gate in the park.
