BikeBrampton members laid out the 3, 9 and 18km routes on Chinguacousy Trail, Don Doan Trail and the local roads. BikeBrampton and BCAC members ran a bike rodeo for the kids. Peel Police NPU bike patrol officers joined the rides, and volunteers led each route.
Route planning began by BikeBrampton and BCAC members in April! Here they are riding Grenoble Street urban curb on the brisk spring day.
None of this would not be possible without the amazing support from City of Brampton Recreation. They are always there for us.
Route through Chinguacousy Park was a special treat for big and little kids. You can see why…
