Riders will enter the region via Tobermory.
They will travel south on Highway 6 through Georgian Bluffs.
The route continues east on Highway 26, passing through Owen Sound and into Meaford.

Slow down and be prepared to stop when approaching cyclists and escort vehicles.
Do not pass the group unless directed by police.
Leave extra space between your vehicle and the cyclists.
