Video of route.
The start and finish will be at the church. The 7.0-km loop is 3.7 km away on Station Road, just beyond Highway 104. There will be a single left-hand turn when entering the loop for the first time. Please watch for the all-clear signal from the road marshal before making the turn. Once in the loop, there will be three right-hand turns to complete the circuit. You will always have the right of way as there are no stop signs when rounding this loop in a clockwise direction.
The feed zone is at the D.O.T. site on Station Road at the top of the hill. People at the feed zone may park anywhere at the site except in front of the garage doors. There are no public washrooms at this location. Do not park on the shoulder ANYWHERE along the course.
