More Information

The event starts at the northern section of the trail where you must execute your escape from "Alcatraz." After escaping, you must ride a series of gnarly single tracks (closed sections) and/or flat double track (transit sections), avoiding Prison Guards who are in pursuit on Mountain Bikes. The first day ends in Bancroft where you earn "parole" and celebrate with a BBQ and entertainment. Day Two sees you continuing south through a series of challenging sections. Sunday wraps up with a “freedom” party and awards. This event is sanctioned by the Ontario Cycling Association. |
