The 30th Annual Mini GO Ride - Covid-19 Virtual Version

Also Known As (aka): The 3rd Annual Mini GO Ride - Covid19 Virtual Version, LOL

The first registrants who donate at least $30 will get a $10 gift certificate to the Neebing Roadhouse.

It's been over two years of Covid and the statistics seem to be indicating a dropping trend in Covid number, however, we are still slightly hesitant to have a one day event. So, again, it will be occurring over a two month period.

We ask riders to please adhere to the Covid rules if they are to recur during the duration of the event.

DETAILS OF THE RIDE

WHAT: The Mini GO Ride (MGR) is a fun, non competitive bike tour of approximately 10, 20, 50, or 100km on the back-country roads of Thunder Bay and Oliver-Paipoonge Township.

WHEN: From June 1 to July 31, 2022. The event held in the months of June and July to allow more opportunity for safer spacing between riders.

Please ride in the daylight hours.

WHERE/ROUTES: You may start the Neebing Roadhouse or anywhere along the route. BUT - if you can't make it to the route then you may ride anywhere you want. Even in another city, province or country!!

All three routes start at the Neebing Roadhouse to:

SHORT ROUTE: to Candy Mountain Road then turn around (12km)

MEDIUM ROUTE: along Candy Mountain Road to Hanna Road then turn around (19km)

LONG ROUTE: to Hwy 588 for the long route (50km).   The routes are well marked

CLICK HERE TO VIEW OR PRINT ROUTE MAPS

EXTRA LONG ROUTE: when you get onto Barrie Rd, continue to the end of Barrie Rd, then turn left onto Hwy 588, then right onto Hwy 590, then right onto Hwy 588, then left onto River Road which reconnects to the long route at Barrie Drive.

SET YOUR OWN ROUTE: If you can't get to the Neebing, then ride anywhere by golly, yes... anywhere.  Anywhere includes Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, North America, and lastly, anywhere in the WORLD!!

The routes are marked with temporary white paint showing arrows at each turn. The last arrow will be marked with a number which indicates the distance to the next turn. Each arrow has a signature marking of an upsidedown letter “u” at the bottom of the arrow.

WHERE TO PARK: You may park at the Neebing Roadhouse

COVID RELATED CHANGES

1) This year's ride will span several months because we cannot anticipate what the restrictions might be in effect.

2) Even though many of the Covid-related mandates have been dropped, things could change, so please adhere to any mandates, should they be re-implemented.

3) Usually, we gather as a group inside the Neebing Roadhouse, but not this year.  Usually we give munchies along the way, but not this year. HOWEVER, the restaurant is open for business, so please consider having dinner or snack there after or before your ride. The Neebing has been involved with the MGR for it's entire 30 annual events.

4) This year our online registration will be by donation only. You decide how much to donate. Tax receipts will be given for donations of at least $25 to one charity.
