Tour De Gnarnaimo is back! Are you ready for another 65 km suffer fest… I mean fun fest?! Complete the challenge and get a sweet T-shirt! (Sizes are limited, so the sooner you do it, the more likely you’ll get the size you want. Shirts are on their way)
Here’s the gist:
Ride a minimim of 1km of trail up or down in each of the following zones in Nanaimo including riding between and linking up all the zones via pedal power.
The zones:
-Westwood, Doumont, Linley Valley, Colliery Dam, The Abyss/Extension, Ridgerunner and South Benson.
Same rules apply as last year:
-No car rides between zones, must be pedalled and completed in one day.
-1km up or down in each zone on singletrack/MTB trails. (Paved/FSRs don’t count)
-Must be a complete circular loop.
-E bikes allowed but you cannot recharge.
-Must show evidence of your ride in the form of strava or something similar.
-If your name is Andrew Hamilton
@andyhammy you have to do two laps in one day. Could he do more?!
-Create your own route and start/finish where you like so long as all the boxes are ticked.
Check out our website for an example route!
