We are please to present our first ever bike Time Trial.
Location:
Convair Drive + Courtneypark Drive East between Renforth and Dixie by Pearson Airport.
Parking:
Parking details are to be confirmed, but there are two generous lots just east of Renforth Drive and Convair Dr.
General Description:
Winding its way along the southern and western boundary of Pearson Airport, this 13k out-and-back stretch is interrupted by all of one stop sign. You won’t find a route that allows for this much open, relative traffic-free road in the city outside of a race. There are both hills and exposed – and therefore windy – sections along the course making it both challenging and fun.
The Route:
We will start at or near the intersection of Convair Dr & Flightline Dr. The Route heads west along Convair, following the southern boundary of Pearson Airport. A sweeping tight turn at about the 2k mark takes us north. Convair turns into Courtneypark and continues north until a stop sign just shy of the 5k mark. This stop sign YOU MUST MAKE A COMPLETE STOP! Turning left at the stop sign and following Courtneypark until the 6.5k mar, we arrive at the marshalled turn-around point. The way back retraces the route exactly and arrives at Flightline after approximately 13k.
