Shore 2 Shore

Shore 2 Shore is a cycling event based in Lakeshore, Ontario, with routes through Windsor/Essex and Chatham/Kent. Participants select approximately 60 km or 120 km routes. Solo entries are offered for both distances, while team entries are restricted to the 120 km route. Teams consist of 5 to 10 riders. The outcome is determined by finish time, not average speed, as the event seeks to have solo riders and teams finish within a narrow time frame. Both routes are approximately 30% gravel, making them suitable for road bikes and gravel bikes. Tires ranging from 28c to 35c are advised for optimal performance. Participants receive GPX files for navigation and are expected to be largely self-sufficient. An aid station is available, and riders may send items to it from check-in. The day features Red Lantern Coffee Co. prior to the ride, with food and beverages provided afterward. Pledge incentives and raffle prizes are included, and all funds raised benefit Youth Mental Health Services in Windsor/Essex.
