Accommodations 

Is there a place to camp – Tent or RV and is there power at the site? 

TBD. Check back for details to follow soon. 

Do you have a suggested hotel or group rate somewhere? 

We have been working with a few hotels in Brockville who have put aside rooms under the reservation “MS Bike”. The chart below shows the hotel options that we are recommending. We will be providing shuttles between these hotels and the finish line, St. Lawrence College, continuously Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. 

If you choose to stay at a different location (family, another hotel, etc.), you will need to arrange your own transportation. 

I encourage everyone to reserve a room as soon as you can. Cancellations can be made until August 5^th without penalty, after that date, fees will be associated with cancellation. Please talk to a hotel associate for more information regarding their cancellation policy.

Event Meal Plan 

TBD. Check back for details to follow soon. 

I have food allergies, should I bring my own food? 

We do our best to accommodate all our cyclists, however all allergy restrictions and food specifications cannot be met. We do our best to share the event meal plan before the ride. If you do have a severe allergy, please bring your own food for the weekend to ensure your safety.  

What if I get a breakdown along the route or can’t finish? 

MS Bike is a fully supported ride with first aid, mechanics, and support vehicles. If you need help or encounter a breakdown, move to the side of the road and hold your helmet up.  

I am spending the night at the hotels; how do I get my overnight bag there? 

At the start line we will have a luggage truck to drop off your bag.  Please ensure your luggage has a wristband matching your bib number attached for pick up after you're done with your ride! 

Day 1 was fun, but my legs are sore, and I don’t want to ride back, how can I get back to the start line? 

MS Bike is low pressure ride, if you can’t ride day 2 no problem! We have a bus that is available back to the start line departing at 9:00am.  Please be sure to connect with Sierra Mota (Sierra.Mota@mscanada.ca) if you are planning on taking the bus back on Day 2. We don’t want it to leave without you!  

Should I bring money to the event? 

Amenities at the start/finish line, along the route and our Saturday evening program are complimentary to volunteers and participants just show your wristband or t-shirt. However, we’ve added some event experiences that require extra payment such as our Beer Gardens, Food Trucks and guest dinner tickets. We accept cash, debit and major credit cards.
