How are the overnight towns selected? And how is the route selected?
• Each year the GWTA will try to alternate overnight locations, lunch and various rest stops along the route to incorporate different communities. With over 41 communities incorporated along the Waterfront Trail, there is an abundance of historical towns, scenic waterfront views and incredible hospitality to experience. In year two we have introduced two new overnight locations (Port Hope and Trenton), and included a few new towns as stops along the way. The primary goals are fun and safety. Can we get 250 plus riders and their support crews from point A to point B safely on a route that is off-road/on country roads? Can each of the smaller towns support camping and meal options for our group? Each partner along the route is chosen for these reasons, and for the energy, hospitality and support that they bring!
