Important Notice for the 2026 Triple Crown Event: Earlier this year, we were notified by the Ministry of Environment and Parks of projected construction and asphalt work on the roadway up Cypress Bowl Road means we cannot finish our ride on Cypress.

However, we are excited to offer a new route for our 15th year, which maintains our “Triple Crown” spirit. For 2026, we have modified the route to be Seymour, Grouse and then finishing up Seymour again! We are arranging a great new finish location. This new route also opens up the possibility of riding just Mount Seymour and still being able to join for our BBQ at the finish.

Most will be familiar that Seymour is a tougher climb then Cypress, so it also provides an extra challenge. This new route is 8km longer and about 120m more elevation then our previous route.

The ride starts rain or shine (be prepared for rain), but we will cancel due to air quality issues (smoke) according to our Air Quality Policy and Protocol.
