Scugog Circle Century Tour Riders have a choice of 60, 80, 100 or 160km routes. All routes begin and end at Durham College and run mostly on quiet roads through rolling countryside.
Who May Participate? The event is open to all ages. Those under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a rider of at least 18 years of age. Competitive riders are also welcome. There is a cutoff of 400 entries. All riders should be in good shape with good riding skills. Group riding is more efficient but do not attempt to ride in a group that is faster than your ability permits. Slower riders are advised to start no later than 7:30am. All riders must be finished by 5:00pm.
Start Time
How
to Enter Ride day entries will be accepted at the starting point from 7:00am to 9:00am, space permitting.
Cyclists are responsible for their own safety. Always ride single file on hills, through corners, in heavy traffic or on busy highways. Police are empowered to enforce the Highway Traffic Act which applies to bicycles as well as to automobiles. By law, helmets are required for riders under 18 years of age. The OCC strongly recommends that helmets be worn at all times. Lastly, this is a tour, not a race.
