Tour de T1D

Join us on September 30, 2018

Donate To This Event 
Join us for our inaugural bicycle ride to raise funds for JDRF, formally known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF’s research is committed to improving the lives of every person with Type 1 Diabetes and to curing this disease. It is our goal that Simcoe County’s strong and energetic cycling community will make this an annual event that grows in participation and recognition.

The ride will start at the Oro Fairgrounds at the corner of the 7th Line and the 15-16 Sideroad of Oro-Medonte and travel along the well-known cycling friendly roads of the township. There will be three routes (25 km, 50 km and 100 km) to entice both seasoned cyclists and recreational enthusiasts.

This ride is NOT a race. Time is not recorded. There are no time chips.

Riders younger than 18 years of age are required to be accompanied by an adult.

Helmets are mandatory.

You must ride according to the Highway Traffic Act, which means things like: staying to the right hand side of the lane (single or double file), stopping at STOP signs and red traffic lights and signalling turns.

There are a few railroad crossings. Please dismount if you are concerned. Slower speed and crossing rails at 90 degrees is recommended

There will be marshals at road intersections. Marshals cannot stop traffic. They are there to guide you along the route

Please collect your garbage including energy bar and various food wrappers and dispose of them in appropriate waste bins.

There will be rest stations with hydration and some food along the route.

Route options:

25K Invest in T1D - Sponsored by the Madison Group/RBC Securities

This is a lovely option to explore some of the countryside, forests and farmlands in the heart of Oro. You can’t remove all the climbs but riders will find nice gradual rises that are not too challenging.

The Sweet 50K - Sponsored by Niche Bakers Corp.

Get your legs ready for a good day in the saddle. A few short steep climbs and nice rollers get you close to Moonstone.

100K Hammer – Sponsored by Phoenix Building Components

The hardcore riders will appreciate the challenges in this nice loop bringing you around Mount St Louis. The profile doesn’t lie: there’s some climbing involved. This is a favorite amongst local cyclists.

New 100K Hammer - Sponsored by Phoenix Building Components

Due to Ministry of Transport Ontario rules, restrictions and limitations communicated to us on 19 September, we will not be able to proceed with the 100K route as indicated. If riders want to ride 100K, they will have to complete 2 laps of the 50K route. We are very sorry for this new development.
