September 21, 2018 (Niagara, ON) – On October 13, the St. Catharines CC hosts a historical cycling ride designed to showcase vintage bikes and vintage wool clothing. It follows a classically inspired route through Niagara comprising windy escarpment roads, lakeside gravel trails showcasing our town and country vistas of orchards and vineyards. The Italian holy grail of the “Strade Bianchi” or gravel road that was a huge part of early cycling races in Europe is celebrated too as is the art and effort of defeating gravity in climbing.

The 95 km and 85 routes, though tough are tempered with a catered “haute cuisine – European style” roadside lunch and snack stops. Riders are given pacing and mechanical support. Your entry fee of $60 includes these services.

Don’t forget – Classic means “It’s not a walk in the park”.

P.S. Why not make it a weekend and visit Niagara-on-the-Lake enjoying craft brewery or winery tastings on your own vintage bicycle?
