Good day. Anyone interested in pre-riding the P2A 100k route sometime before the race? ---

Hmm, this got me thinking. I’m signed up for Adopt-a-road this Saturday. Perhaps I could make a ride for Sunday, then. 🤔 Here’s the recon route we did last year. **Note: the race day course goes over some private land. We can’t pre-ride any of the private land. There’s been issues in previous years, leading to riders getting removed from the race, and landowners taking away their land for race use.** > **[P2A recon](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42607455)** > > 108.6 km, +847 m. Bike ride in City of Cambridge, Ontario I’ll have to look at last year’s race, but I think it was pretty much the same as 2022’s course. I’ve made sure to keep this course to public roads and trails. ---

Dan, speaking with Joe Monks - we’re planning of doing the official p2a preride Sunday morning (930 start?), from Paris to Ancaster - then stop for a quick lunch, followed with an easy road ride back to Paris. Approx 145k total. Aiming around the 25kph mark, but some efforts on some hills. He’s going to work on a combined route, and will post that in a little bit. ---
