All Systems Go for the 2010 Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour

When it comes to sports events, the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour is the most talked about and most looked forward to event in cycling and sports in the Rideau Lakes area. Each year, over 2000 riders from all over the country converge to traverse the course which starts at Ottawa on Saturday, running through Perth, Kingston, then back again on Sunday. A rider can choose from the 4 different courses, with each course tailor-made for a different degree of skill and experience. The Ottawa Bicycle Club is the group behind this annual event, with its team of volunteers working hard each year to make sure that things go smoothly.

Most of the riders that join the race are from Quebec and Ontario, but the event also has participants from other parts of the country and the United States. The race even plays host to a number of foreign riders making the to Ottawa just to join the event.

Unfortunately, registration for the race is now over, so you’ll have to wait till next year if you want to join. All the race slots have been filled up, and no waiting list is available in the event of cancellations.
