Ride For Hope Route - 2012
Our move to Governor’s Harbour has brought exciting changes to the route. To begin with, our new Staging Area is located on Bayfront Park – a beautiful, spacious community open space on the sea. The youngest participants have an easy 3 mile round trip to a great ice cream shop on Cupid’s Cay. Enthusiastic youngsters can do as many Ice Cream Loops as they want!
All other participants will leave the Staging Area and head south along Queen’s Highway to South Palmetto Point, a little over 8 miles away. The route bears left and then north along stunning Banks Road where participants will have easy cycling conditions and spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Banks Road Loop – a 10-mile journey - will bring everyone back to the junction with Bayfront Park. A participant going for 10 miles will be finished. All other participants repeat the Banks Road Loop, bringing their total journey to 20 miles.
Next the route heads north onto Queens Highway and extends from Governor’s Harbour to Glass Window. This is our Queen’s Highway Loop. Along the way there are support tents at the Governor Harbour Airport, Big Rock, Gregory Town, and Glass Window.
Together, the Banks Road Loops and the Queen’s Highway Loop cover 80 miles. Once back in Governor’s Harbour, participants going the full 100 miles will repeat the Banks Road Loop two additional times before finishing at Bayfront Park.
