This will be my second year riding (Toronto-Niagara Falls) and this year just took me by surprise! The date crept up really fast and when I went to do my online check in this morning- you guessed it- CLOSED! The problem is, a lot of information they give you in the check in package i.e. what to pack ect, ect...is very important before the day of the ride and I do not have any of that information! Does anyone have access to a scanner/email and could forward me the useful information needed before the ride? It would be much appreciated!
Also, I am going to drop off my bike the day before, they said I could get temporary tags for that. However, I do not know the details for dropping off the bike! I heard they changed location this year? Is this true? and what hours can I drop my bike off at? I am seriously having a difficult time this year so I hope it gets better!
Hi - yes, the location has changed - we leaving from Ontario Place this year.
Here's some of the info you want - assuming your doing the "Classic" - Toronto to Niagara. If you need anything else, call me at 905-316-5697 (work) or my cell - 416-816-4942. If you give me your email address, I can email you the check list.
Don't panic - we'll get you there.

Just go to the website and click on events/ schedule on the left hand side and all the info you need is there by category- ie: bike drop off, route maps, what to bring etc
it would be nice if you could find information a little easier, I found a really bad looking map of where things are at the ex and Ontario place, it's not really clear if we park at ex or Ontario or both, im sure it'll be a mess
