Welcome to the 2023 Great Annapolis Ride!
In association with Bicycle Nova Scotia, Kohkos Events is proud to invite you to the Great Annapolis Ride on July 29th and 30th, 2023.
The Great Annapolis Ride is a great way to explore the Annapolis Valley wine's region on two wheels. Enjoy a relaxing bike ride down country roads, past charming orchards and picturesque wineries. Your weekend getaway will start at Grand-Pré National Historic Site on Saturday heading out along a coastal route featuring the world’s highest tides. Spend Sunday taking a leisurely pedal through open farmlands under a sun-kissed sky to our final destination, Mercator Vineyards.
On Day 1, choose between a classic 84km ride or the more challenging 107km (Grande) ride. Now back in its third year, the Great Annapolis Ride has a little something for everyone, whether you're a fit or soon-to-be fit cyclist.
