K&P Century Ride FAQ’s

What bike can I use?
Your own! Well….a road bike will not work. A gravel bike will work best on most sections of the course. There may be some rougher sections where the bike handling of a mountain bike would be helpful,  this isn’t called the Kick and PUSH for nothing!


What is the course? 
Two 50 km loops with only 1% on pavement. This gravel paradise will follow the K&P Trail, TransCanada trail and beautiful, rolling country roads.

Is there a Cut Off Time?
While we highly encourage all levels of riders, there will be a cut-off time of 3 hours for the first lap. We feel that this is a very fair and doable time of approx. 15km /hour.

Is this a mass start race?
At this time, we reserve the right to make this decision closer to race day. Factors like weather, trail conditions, number of participants will all be considered. A Neutral or Lamans start may be a possibility.

Will there be water stations on course?
Nope, we’re not your mothers! However there will be a table for extra water bottles at the Start/Finish Lap where you can switch out bottles, grab fuel before heading out on your second lap.


What do I need, and can I bring on Race Day?  
Have  the gear you need to be self sustained so please look at the gear list and make sure you have the mandatory gear at check-in or you will not be allowed to race. 

Can I bring a cheering squad? 
Absolutely, however the nature of long distance cycling will be hard to be seen on course, but those finish line photos will be sweet!

Is there a post ride meal?
MT Adventures always makes sure racers are re-fueled before being sent home. 

Are there awards?
Yes! Awards will take place at the Railway Heritage Park-there will be a beer tent and a food truck!
