Participants will have the choice of three routes – 50km, 100km, and 160km, showcasing the beauty of the Niagara Escarpment, Halton Hills and Hamilton. 

Share the Road is hosting this fundraising event, now in its 16th year, in memory of OPP Sergeant Greg Stobbart, who was killed in Milton by a careless driver while on a training ride on his bike in 2006. The Coalition was founded in Greg’s memory and has held a memorial Ride every year to support their work: creating bicycle-friendly communities in partnership with governments and key stakeholders, passing road safety legislation, and working to make Ontario’s roads safer and more accessible for cyclists.
