Registration is now open for the 2016 UCI Gran Fondo World Series Grey County Road Race

Registration is now open for the Grey County Road Race (May 29) and Time Trial (May 27) presented by Sportsnet

March 10 2016 Ontario, Canada - The Grey County Road Race and Time Trial is the sole Canadian and North American stop for the 2016 UCI Gran Fondo World Series (Formerly the UCI World Cycling Tour), which includes a total of 14 worldwide events. Participants who finish in the top 25% of their age category will qualify for the UCI Gran Fondo World Series Finals and an opportunity to compete for the coveted World Champion rainbow jersey.  The 2016 UGFWS Finals will be hosted by Perth, Australia from Sept 1-4; 2017 Finals have been awarded to Albi, France.

The Time Trial on May 27th will be based out of Thornbury Ontario, featuring a 33.4km looping course that includes 387meters of elevation gain. The Time Trial is limited to 250 riders based on road permit time constraints so be sure to register early.

Blue Mountain Village will be the base for all activities following the Time Trial. The Road Race on May 29th features a challenging and beautiful newly paved climb up Scenic Caves Road. The road course has been designed to feature all of the best qualities that the region has to offer, with spectacular vistas including the view over Georgian Bay, as well as roads through the orchards. Riders may also be met by strong winds which are prevalent atop the 300-meter-high escarpment making any attempts to venture out beyond the shelter of the peloton truly heroic.

Bruce Bird, Race Director proudly annouced "As part of a 3-year agreement with the UCI and the UGFWS, I am proud to continue hosting the Canadian Amateur World Qualifier event through 2017. In 2015 this even drew on over 550 participants primarily from the GTA, but also from the entire Northeast region and across North America. I hope that those of you who participated in the 2015 event will return bringing your families, team mates and friends to take on the challenging course, to enjoy the great facilities in the Blue Mountain Village and the overall quality of the event."

"It is only through the support from the cycling community in Ontario, the UCI, the UGFWS, the Canadian and Ontario Cycling Associations, the Ontario Provincial Police, The County of Grey, the Town of Blue Mountains, Blue Mountains Village Association, Clearview Township, The Town of Collingwood, Sportsnet, Toronto Digital Imaging, Wheels of Bloor, A-D Bikes, Real Deal Racing, D’Ornellas, Velo Fix, Racer Sportif, Collingwood Cycling Club, and many others, that this event is possible, Thank you."

"We look forward to seeing you all in May"
